Founder's Message
Greetings from One Music!
As an advocate of the Arts and Child Development, I strongly believe that music education is an essential ingredient in a child's character development and every child should have the opportunity to learn music. Music education engages and inspires us at any age, builds critical thinking, and supports cognitive and emotional strength.
During my childhood days, I was pushed to learn the piano and the clarinet. Although I resented it at the time, I'm now grateful for all the music lessons that my father had invested in me. I'm also thankful for the blessings and encouragements that I have received from my American foster parents when they gave me a piano to practice during my college days in America. The endeavour has landed me jobs at piano lounges in the evenings which sequentially financed my university education up to an MBA degree.
This wonderful hobby had not only helped me financially as a student, but became a companion and served as an emotional therapy for me. Having gone through a colourful life, I feel compelled to share my experiences and stories through this venture and contribute back to the society by creating employment opportunities and spreading the joy and power of music with everyone especially among the children of our future generation. .
As parents, we cannot emphasize enough the importance of education and moreover, character building is probably the most important aspect of parental life. Music is a powerful tool. We can use it effectively as a means of communication with our children. Placing music into their lives also will groom their social skills and strengthen them emotionally and mentally.
One Music™ is all about passion and where everyone can play music. Our on-going events will help our students build self confidence while having fun along the way. Music changes people for the better and all we wish for is to contribute and to be a part of that change. It did for me. I hope we can do the same for you.

Programs
We offer lessons for all major instruments using accredited syllabus from Trinity Guildhall of London, Associated Board of the Royal
School of Music (ABRSM) and Trinity Rock & Pop. Our spacious studios provide a conducive learning environment where lessons are conducted on
a private basis as each student can receive undivided attention from our teachers. We also provide ‘Fun to Learn’ modules for adult learners and
even courses in Jazz and Latin music for the serious learners. Our fees are perceived ‘value for money’ by many. Call us for more details.
In our effort to bring the joy of music to all children, we conduct these programs at schools during the extra-curricular activity (ECA) day as
group lessons utilizing our fun and interactive syllabus for guitar, drums and vocals. This program provides an opportunity for schools to partnership
with us in providing music lessons to interested students with very minimal fees.
‘One Music’ program is an idea derived from the concept of “music as an instrument of unity” irrespective of age, culture, race and religion.
The program is designed as a fun group activity for kids while emphasizing the value of cooperation, teamwork, while enhancing self confidence
and social skills. The main themes are ‘stomping’, ‘chorus singing’, ‘GLEE CLUB’, ‘junior string orchestra’, and ‘unity dance’. Please see past photos
and testimonials on our facebook.
Our 4 week music workshops are held at our academy during school holidays. These workshops are great for kids who can try out instruments of their
choice and make new friends along the way. Our teachers will guide them in choosing the instrument that interests them. This program will benefit
them to understand the musical journey that’s ahead for them. Please join our facebook to receive program updates.
