Hello everyone, I thought I would like to add a note here for everyone.
I know of this piano/cello/violin teacher around Tanjong Katong area. He graduated from Guildhall School of Music & Drama, specializing in violin performance. From what I understand, it is the leading conservatoire in UK.
He has about 17 years of teaching experience. Very flexible and dynamic.
His ability is also quite amazing; has helped highly functioning autistic child to learn more about music (patient man), to guiding students to be exam-ready (for their Music Elective Program/O Lvls/A levels/SOTA/etc)
Teaching style is unconventional - combines about an hour of lesson with music documentaries, operas & composer movies. This is so that the child can develop his own interest (hopefully, also passion) for music.
I have attached a link to a news article about him, featured in the Business Times here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9PnZcq ... dit?pli=1#
PM me if you wish to have his contact!
Though you hold some truth in saying that people may pass it on as an advertisement, my intention is to merely share information of a really good teacher. I didn't put teacher's contact or rates, and ask for a PM because I am not here to sell a service; nor do I have vested interests.
If one wants to engage a teacher with quality credentials, and has been featured in the media because of his accomplishments in both art and music, it is ultimately one's prerogative to do so.
I just want to share. Nothing wrong with that.
Having said that, thank you for your perspective on my forum activities. It is deeply appreciated. -

Hi everyone, as much as I would like to avoid a re-posting of information here, it has come to my attention from another forum thread (Choosing the right piano teacher, by dreamaurora) that I need to further expand on some information & also to rectify certain bits.
Kindly bear with me. Thank you.
Hello everyone, this is a re-post to clarify any confusion earlier on.
I know of this piano/cello/violin teacher around Tanjong Katong area. He graduated from Guildhall School of Music & Drama, specializing in violin performance. From what I understand, it is one of the few leading conservatoire in UK (as very kindly pointed out by a fellow forum participant jce).
He has about 17 years of teaching experience. Very flexible and dynamic.
His ability is also quite amazing in my humble opinion; has helped highly functioning autistic child to learn more about music (patient man), to guiding students to be exam-ready (for their Music Elective Program/O Lvls/A levels/SOTA/etc)
Teaching style is unconventional - combines about an hour of lesson, with segments of music documentaries, operas & composer movies (NOT INCLUDED IN LESSON TIME - IT IS ON TOP OF LESSON TIME). This is so that the child can develop his own interest (hopefully, also passion) for music.
e.g. 1 hour of actual teaching + 20 minutes of movie = whole lesson

I would also be more than happy to elaborate on some aspects of his teaching (from my own knowledge). Do shoot me any questions and I'd definitely do my best in answering them.
If you wish to know more & I cannot comprehensively answer them, I do suggest that you give him a call, which is of course non-obligatory, to learn more.
Cheers! -
The commission that teachers get at a music school is nowhere near 60%, more like 45% (at most schools). The ones who tend to teach at schools tend to be the new grads or the ones who teach on weekends only, ie holding some other full time job on weekdays and teaches music on weekends. Or is one of the partners of the school. Those who are highly qualified, high in demand, will generally teach privately and from home.

Jce is correct, most schools only pay 45% to 50% commission for grade 8 and private diploma holders. For full time grads, some schools are willing to pay up to 70%; I know of two schools that do this. Most if not all established teachers teach from home, but parents may still luck out and find a passionate and competent travelling teacher in the infancy of his/her career. -

Too many piano teachers. We highjack this site.LOL - and I logged on expecting to see new posts discussing \"Suzuki Violin\". Sad.
Dreamaurora:
I keep having the impression that teachers teaching from their homes are SAHM trying to earn some extra pocket money. I think established teachers teach from their own school and it's a common practice for them to hire their own students to teach.Most if not all established teachers teach from home......
