What our students & parents say

“My little girl was taking piano lessons with Agnes, and she loved them. She made great progress and was excited to go to each lesson. Agnes is patient, fun and fantastic with kids. Highly recommend”

“Aggy was a great teacher for my 6 year old son. She incorporated singing, clapping and games to really bring piano lessons to life and keep him engaged. My son enjoyed his lessons and learnt quickly under Aggy's expert tuition. Aggy was full of imaginative ideas on how to teach the basics of music theory and piano practice which made the lessons fun and helped him develop as a musician not just learning the piano. My younger daughter would accompany me to his lessons and Aggy was great with her too and as a result she is keen to learn piano soon now too. I would definitely recommend Aggy as a enthusiastic imaginative teacher for young children and beginners and I would add that we haven't been able to find anyone as good as her since!”

“I've been learning piano with Agnes for the past two years, and it's been an amazing experience. She's not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable but also patient, encouraging, and great at explaining both technique and music theory. I've grown so much in confidence and ability thanks to their guidance. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a passionate and dedicated piano teacher!”

“Agnes is a great passionate Piano Teacher. My son loved learning piano with her. Initially we were at a different place and he didn’t know to read notes and so on. Agnes managed to get him to pass grade 1 with a merit within few months. She communicates well and keeps lessons fun. We really miss her here in England. I highly recommend Agnes to anyone who likes to learn piano..”

“We have known Agnes for nearly two years now and not only is she a wonderful piano teacher but a great human being too she understood and adapted to the nature of my daughter maximising her confidence and creating a life long passion for learning music. We only started with her to learn how to play and be inquisitive but 18 months later my daughter passed her grade one piano and Agnes has instilled a passion that my daughter is now looking forward to preparing for grade 3. She will be sorely missed here in the UK but for those students or parents looking for a great teacher you should look no further than Agnes! We wish Agnes all the best in Singapore.”

“Agnes is by far the best piano teacher we have worked with. She has helped my 10 year old daughter achieve her Grade 4 ABRSM qualification from scratch and has been an amazing and positive role model.”

“Agnes is a great teacher and my daughter absolutely loved learning from her! Gave her so much confidence and Agnes was really great with her as she started when she was 5 years old! Thank you so much Agnes. Would highly recommend Agnes”

“My girlfriend and I loved listening to piano music, I thought it would be lovely to play her favourite piece, so I took a few lessons from Agnes.

Agnes was a wonderful and passionate teacher, she takes her time and patience in teaching, her teaching motivated me to continue learning more than what was intended.

I would definitely recommend Agnes to anyone who is interested in playing the piano as a beginner or professional.

10/10 experience!!”
