      May I ask at what age did you start your children at GUG?


      My girl is 13 months and I am wondering if I should start now of when she is 18 months.

      Any advise? 😄

        Depends on your child adaptability. Let her try out some trial classes to gain exposure.

          I started my son at 22mths when I feel that he is ready to pay attention at certain things and keen to learn when I teach him simple words.
          From there then I let him join his first class of lesson. If not, it will be quite difficult to get them sit down and listen and learn and if your child start be cranky it might also distract other children which I personally feel. However, the teacher plays a part too to bring back their attention. So maybe u try looking for trial lesson and see what type of classes she likes. As a good start off is important for them and from there they will enjoy learning and going to class. 🙂

                Hi chrisbear,


                My son trial once at GUG when he was 10 months. Think he was not ready yet so we postponed and let him attended for 2 terms when he was 15 mths.

                He is now almost 3 years old and still remember their zoophonics and some of the songs taught.

                I guess it depends on your child since each develops differently. You might want to do a trial class 1st before you sign up for full term like we did.

                  try:
                  Dependent on teacher. When i sit-in for trial, quite amazed at standard of teacher in relation to the price paid.

                  In a positive way, or negative? 😎

                    Hi, i m also considering GUG for my son who jus turned 1 yo.


                    Called and made enquiry, i find their course fee is a bit exp.

                    Is there any feedback on Zoophonic which i heard conduct the course in a similar pattern with much lower course fee.

                      How about Zoophonic which conduct the lesson similar as GUG but… at a lower course fee.

                        My son attended GUG Suntec since early last yr for 1 yr, then I pull him out to try out zoophonics, I regretted my decision… as compared to GUG, I feel zoophonics quite substandard even though they both have similar concept of teaching… I am pulling him out of zoophonics and either re-enrol him to GUG or other schools.
