Simple Notation, Go Straight To The Music
We believe that learning Chinese pop songs/movie soundtracks is not just about reading scores. When learning Chinese instruments, one need not learn how to read stave notation which is the norm for any western instrument. Chinese instrument scores use number notation (1,2,3,4, etc,) which you are surely familiar with? We will teach you the necessary techniques which you can apply immediately to your favourite pop songs.

When singing your favourite tunes, movie themes, movie soundtrack, you are able to phrase and sing without any assistance. You can do so on your choice of Chinese instrument as well! During your lesson, we will improve your intonation, sense of pitch, and rhythm. Our dedicated team of teachers will bring out the musicality in you, as you embark on your beautiful route to learning music.
Have A Piece Of Music You Fancy?
If there are soundtracks, movie themes, English/Chinese pop songs that you like, or enjoy listening to movie music, do let your teacher know during your lessons if there are particular pieces of music that you want to learn. Our teachers will be able to source out the music scores for you. Alternatively, if you have a song you like but do not have the scores for your instrument, our instructors will be able to transcribe it for you.
