Frequently Asked Questions

Which instruments do you teach at Artist Music School?

We offer professional instructions on piano, violin, viola, guitar, music theory, ukulele, and drumkit, vocal and flute. All of our teachers are trained to a very high level of commitments both in terms of children’s musical and technical development.

How many students should I expect in a group lesson?

At Artist Music School, we value your strive for musical achievements versus your lesson time, therefore all group lessons are restricted to only 3-5 students. This will allow the best scope of individual attention whilst allowing healthy competition and encouragement within the classroom.

Can I rearrange my lessons if I suddenly have conflicts of schedules?
Yes! We understand the unpredictability of everyone’s life, and therefore we ask you to give us a 24 hour notice in case you can’t make to your lessons. Any lesson that needs to be rearranged on a shorter notice, we ask for you to present a doctor’s notice to avoid the fees being deducted for the missed lesson.
What should I bring to my first instrumental lesson?

We know we want to treat our students like artists, so the first step is to get them the right tool and instruments, therefore at Artist, our campus provide state-of-the-art Yamaha upright and grand pianos . If you are taking up an instrument that is not piano or drum-kit, we will give you advice of the kind of instrument that you should purchase in your first lesson. You will also be needing a homework note book, a staff manuscript book and your passion for music, your first music text-book will be provided by us too (at a cost).

How long should I practice each day?

Of course this depends on your personal learning level. For beginners, our homework should take no longer than 20-30 minutes. As you level up, you will notice that the homework will take longer to finish. On average, a grade 1-3 student should practice for about 45-60 minutes, more advanced students should see for themselves. Although I would be surprised if you can finish all the homework set in under 90 minutes of high quality practicing time. Do remember to take lots of breaks in between practice, and never lose concentration when you are sitting at the piano.

What is your refund policy?

Due to the nature of our service, we don’t normally allow for refund of fees. The fees for lessons that have not taken place could be transferred to other students at our discretion. Extraordinary circumstances could be considered such as illness, relocation etc. If refund is required at no fault of us, then a 10% administrative fees will be deducted from the remaining fees.  The Artist Music School reserves the right to the final decision of the refund amount. 

Are all your students Chinese?
No! We extend our warm welcome to EVERYONE!
