Hi mummies, What is the qualification of the teachers? I am thinking to enroll my son(3 years old). But not sure if edvox \"Funtime \" class good. Appreciate if can give me some feedback...

Hi Nancy!
most of our teachers have Bachelor or Master degrees.
Our Funtime Doreme class is a 1 year music appreciation course. They will learn piano for 6 months and violin for the next 6 months. They will be taught the basics like note reading, rhythm, etc. After their piano / violin terms, they can start individual piano / violin lessons.

:thankyou:

Hi, I was an ex-Edvox student since their early years. I still remember I first stepped into Edvox Music School at Hougang and I was talking to a plump gentleman sharing with him what I wanted for my violin lessons. The plump gentleman turned out to be the Principal of Edvox, Mr Foo. Very nice guy. And I started attended lessons taught by him. Due to my lazy nature and procrastination habit (very bad I know), I stopped going to lessons. Then Edvox started opening a branch at Marine Parade and since I am living at Marine Parade, I signed up for my violin lessons again, under Ms Rosemary. A very nice, patient, lady. I spent like 4, 5 years under her before I stopped my lessons due to personal reason. Years passed, Edvox opened a few other branches at various places. Recently, I am thinking of continuing my violin lessons at Edvox but was disappointed to learn that their course fees are highly expensive. I still remember I paid only $250 for my Grade 7 violin practical course fee a few years back and now is $321 per month. And also need to pay a refundable deposit of $150, a 2 months upfront and a registration fee of about $40. A total start up fee is about $880. Omg ! I wish to return to Edvox as I believe they are professional since their teachers are degree holders. But the course fee really turn me away.

Hi Raspberry76!
Glad to know that you've enjoyed your lessons with us in the past and that you're looking to join us again!
I believe you're referring to our Waterway Point branch in regards to the fees.
Grade 7 violin fees are actually $300, Waterway Point and Kovan branch charges GST. There is no GST at our Marine Parade, Choa Chu Kang and Tampines branches.
The higher initial cost is because our school fees at Waterway Point is paid through GIRO, and GIRO approval takes around a month, therefore, school fees for the 2nd month is charged along with the first payment. We believe this is most convenient for busy parents and students
If you're still staying at Marine Parade, teacher Rosemarie is still teaching in our Marine Parade branch so you may wish to consider our Marine Parade branch as well.
:thankyou:
