OUR TEACHERS
Who are we?
Studio Verve started with a question: what does Education truly mean? The unpacking of this question has led to an institution aiming to redefine learning and the role of education in Singapore. At Studio Verve, we believe that education should not just be about the imparting of knowledge; it should enable us to be aware of who we truly are, and to be intrinsically motivated to pursue our own goals.
With Singapore’s dynamic educational landscape, it is vital to be constantly aligned with the latest syllabus and examination requirements so that students are able to unlock their maximum potentials. We are a passionate teaching team of experienced educators who have taught in Singapore and international schools. With years of teaching experience coupled with many success stories of improving students’ learning achievements, we bring with us our passion in nurturing young minds and the desire to inspire every student to bring out the very best in them. We believe in fully Engaging students to Enhance their learning process, hence enabling them to be Enlightened in the subject matters, in order to achieve musical & academic Excellence.
Our mission is to bring quality, versatility and inventiveness into music education. Quality in terms of curriculum structure, teachers and lesson delivery, and Versatility by creating a nurturing environment encouraging exchange of musical ideas across genres to provide a well-rounded music education. With Inventiveness, we have created our very own curriculum (Young Pianists Playworld), specially designed for students here at Verve by building on well-rooted classical tradition in music education and applying it across various genres and musical styles, so as to make education relevant in today’s society. Our programs range from foundation courses for kids from 3 years old onwards, and classical and contemporary courses for all ages. We provide an extensive range of quality music courses and believe that music learning can be nurtured in anyone of any age group in a fun and fulfilling way.
THE STUDIO VERVE METHODOLOGY
We believe that music lessons go beyond a regular classroom environment.
In fact there are 4 critical components necessary to help each and every student achieve their musical success.
Thus, our methodology was formed to integrate these components into a unique blend of learning and entertainment.
1. Personalised Learning
All new students will receive their very own lesson and curriculum proposal designed to match your child’s learning needs. As the lessons progress, regular reviews are conducted to access solutions with our very own “STUDIO VERVE PROGRESS REPORT BOOK” that will enhance the learning journey. We believe every student has different needs and preferences which we adjust accordingly without losing the key learning points.
2. Dedicated and Experienced Teachers
While our teachers hold Diplomas, Master Degrees and many other Awards and experience in the musical field, it is the strong dedication to our students that make them stand out. Teaching at Verve Music School goes beyond plain theory. Whether it's extra remedial lessons, guidance or other special needs your child may have, our teachers are there for you.
3. Live Performance
Opportunities to showcase what your child has learnt and experience the thrill of performing in front of a live audience with our annual concert organised specially for our students. Or take it one step further and join our repertoire of events and activities with our network of local and international performers.
4. 360-degree Education
Helping your child build up their skills continues outside the classroom and back at home. Naturally we understand that many parents like yourself lack the knowledge to help them. We’ll empower you with professional advice throughout your child’s journey on the various things you can do to help them everyday.
We provide:
Well-equipped, spacious music studios, including tutorial rooms for theory and group lessons
A wide variety of instrumental and academic courses taught by our qualified Teaching Associates (Bachelor & Masters' degree holders, musicians from high profile performing groups e.g. SSO)
Periodic masterclasses and ensemble classes
Opportunities to perform and pick up extra skills by joining interest groups such as pop ensembles, fusion bands and acapella groups
