For the parents

Will my childactually stick with it?

That is the real question, isn’t it. Not which syllabus, not which exam board. Whether the wriggly six-year-old who cannot sit through dinner will sit at a piano, week after week, without the whole thing becoming a battle.

Espressivo’s answer is patience and fit: one teacher to one student, lessons matched to the child’s aptitude at each stage, in English or Chinese, in rooms quiet enough to actually concentrate. Parents wait on the sofa nearby, and one reviewer even mentioned a karaoke corner in the waiting area. One parent writes that the teachers brief him on his son’s progress after every lesson.

And it starts with a free trial, so the only thing you invest first is one afternoon.

The teaching

“I am a student studying piano here, and the teachers here are very professional and patient. They are proficient in English and Chinese, and teach students according to their aptitude at different stages.”

The fees

“What I love about this music school is that they are very transparent with their lesson fees and exam fees. They do not charge any additional fees to help register the student for exams and the teachers always brief me on my son's progress after every lesson.”

How it works

From first note to first recital.

01

Start with a free trial

The first lesson costs nothing. Your child meets the teacher, sits at a real grand piano, and you see how they respond before any commitment.

02

One-on-one, at their pace

The standard lesson is one teacher to one student, in a room with proper sound insulation. One student writes that the teachers are proficient in English and Chinese and teach according to a student's aptitude at each stage. Group lessons are on the services board too.

03

You always know how it's going

One parent writes that the teachers brief him on his son's progress after every lesson, and that the academy is transparent with its lesson fees and exam fees.

04

A stage to play on

Students perform at the academy's annual recital and take home a certificate. The photo wall inside the studio is full of them.

One student’s story

She couldn’t sit still.Now she practises on her own.

One parent wrote that they were “very unsure” whether their daughter was interested in learning piano at all. In their words: “She is rather active and didn’t like to sit down nor concentrate on something for a period of time.”

Then came Teacher Vivian. The same review again:

“Patient, full of energy and ideas to keep the young one engaged... Her attention span increased after attending a few lessons (showed great interest) and she looked forward to her weekly piano class. She even wants to practice on her own at home!”

Their verdict on the school, in capital letters, was “LOOK NO FURTHER FOR A MUSIC SCHOOL.” And on Justin, the owner: “A young business owner who priortises students and their family.”

The people

Run by Justin.Loved for Vivian.

Justin is the owner, principal, and the person who answers the phone. One review describes him as friendly, always ready to help, and happy to accommodate a family’s changing schedule. He signs the recital certificates himself.

Teacher Vivian is named in one parent’s review: patient, full of energy, full of ideas to keep young students engaged. The photo wall, dozens of students spelling out the academy’s name, is the quiet proof of how many students have passed through.
