Meet the Teacher
About Patricia
Patricia has been teaching piano to children for more than a decade. Based in Tengah, she serves families across the Farrer Road, Holland Village, and Buona Vista corridors. Her practice has grown through word-of-mouth recommendations from parents who trust her judgement and see real results in their children.
Her Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education with Music Education gives her teaching a foundation that goes well beyond technique. She understands how children process information, how their confidence develops, and how to create the conditions for genuine learning rather than rote repetition.
Patricia is warm but focused. She builds meaningful relationships with her students while maintaining clear expectations. Whether a child is exploring the keyboard for the first time or preparing for an ABRSM exam, she provides the same thoughtful, individualised attention.
