Hello. My school offers violin lessons for both children as young as 3 years old to adults. We also provide the service of getting the violin for the child. As a student in our school, he or she will be entitled to 10% discount for violin and the shoulder rest. At current we have a 30min trial promotion for new students going for S$15 (excl GST). Do check out our webpage: http://www.thistlesound.com

Hi

I just went to the website and search under VIOLIN COURSES, however its say the age group is for 4 yr old and above and not 3 yr old...

Hello Sunset_dae. It is for 3 years old. I wanted to update the mistake in date but unfortunately my laptop crash. Till now, I have been trying to recover the data. Thank you for voicing your concern. 3 is a starting age for violin. Children of that age will use the 1/16 size violin. We have many students falling under that age range as we have two preschools beside us.


Hope to hear from you soon!

Hello watmekiasu. My school has students learning violin as young as 3 years old. For 3 years old, they will use a smaller violin like 1/16 size. It always depend on the child’s interest and attention span. It also depends on how the teacher sustains their interest as well as their parents encouragement and being part of their learning progress.

Hi luckystar, do you happen to know how I am able to contact Ms. Yah Wan Har?


Thistlesound, airex - I have a 6 year old daughter who is currently in Yamaha’s Music For Children program. She is bored as it is sluggish and is only asked to play short notes 2x each class. She says she likes music and would like to pursue the violin.

We live around Bishan’s J8 and am wondering if anyone has good recommendations of a private home tutor.

Thank you and best regards.

Hi all,
My son is turning 4 next year. I am looking to start him on violin lessons. We went to Yamaha and didn't really like the place as we feel that it is too commercialised. We are looking for a violin teacher who can teach on a 1:1 basis. Our search criteria are:
- Female teacher (no male teacher pls)
- Someone who can come over to our house to teach (preferred option). If not, we stay in Toa Payoh and don't mind travelling to the teacher's house if it is not too far.

If anyone has any good violin/viola teacher to recommend, please let me know. Thanks!

My sister's violin teacher (since she was 3yo, she's now 16) lives near GY Sec. He teaches from his home. He was in the SSO and has been teaching for many years. He also has a children's orchestra in his church which provides opportunities for children to perform (even if you are non-christian, you are welcome). He also has year end concerts for his students to perform.

I can pass you his contact if you are keen.

I have just make enquires with Ossia Music School. Their teaching method is 1:1. I not sure whether my 4yrs old son really keen on learning. I suggest to get 1 second-handed violin to start off 1st. Cos i heard from another parent saying the the violin got to change quite often.
