Meet the Teacher
About Patricia
For over ten years, Patricia has been teaching music to children with a focus on building genuine skills and a lasting appreciation for music. She works from her Tengah studio and serves families from across Singapore, including the Stevens and central residential areas.
Her Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education with Music Education provides the academic foundation for her teaching practice. It means she doesn't just teach children how to play instruments — she understands the cognitive, emotional, and motor development processes that underpin learning at different ages, and she uses this knowledge to make her teaching more effective.
Patricia teaches piano and violin and is experienced at serving both exam-track and non-exam students. She offers thorough ABRSM preparation for both instruments and is equally committed to children who prefer to develop their musicianship through repertoire, creative exploration, and skills-based learning without formal grading.
Why Families Trust Patricia
Why Families from Stevens Choose Patricia
Multi-Instrument Expertise
Patricia is proficient in both piano and violin, and every lesson includes music theory, ear training, and rhythm as standard. This multi-faceted approach gives children a deeper understanding of music as a whole, not just the mechanics of one instrument. It also allows families flexibility if their child wants to explore before committing to a particular path.
Early Childhood Training
Patricia holds a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education with Music Education. This is a genuine differentiator: she brings academically grounded knowledge of how children develop and learn to every lesson, allowing her to teach in ways that are developmentally appropriate rather than relying on generic methods. Stevens families who expect professional-grade instruction appreciate this foundation.
Flexible Curriculum
ABRSM preparation is available for both piano and violin, and Patricia has extensive experience preparing students for their exam grades. She's equally comfortable working with children who learn best without the exam framework, focusing instead on building skills, expression, and a lifelong relationship with music. The choice is always guided by what works for the individual child.
Personal Studio Environment
The Tengah studio offers an intimate, purpose-built learning space that removes the distractions of commercial music schools. There's no waiting room, no overlapping lesson schedules, and no background noise from other students. Your child gets Patricia's complete attention in a setting that's calm, focused, and entirely dedicated to their lesson.

Lesson Structure
What Lessons Look Like
Each lesson is a private session of 45 to 60 minutes, with the duration matched to the child's concentration and experience level. Patricia starts younger beginners with shorter sessions that gradually extend as they become more comfortable and focused at the instrument.
Sessions blend hands-on playing — piano or violin — with music theory, ear training, rhythm work, and sight-reading. Patricia connects these elements throughout the lesson so that children build an integrated understanding of music. A theory concept might arise naturally from a piece being practised; an ear training exercise might reinforce a pattern the child has been working on technically.
Stevens families can choose between attending lessons at the Tengah studio or having Patricia visit their home. The teaching approach and quality remain consistent across both settings, giving you flexibility without compromising on the learning experience.
