About Patricia
Patricia has been teaching music to children for over 10 years, with violin as a core part of her teaching practice. Based in Tengah — right next door to Choa Chu Kang — she works with young students from across the western neighbourhoods who are looking for careful, child-focused violin instruction.
Her Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education with Music Education gives her a unique understanding of how young children learn physical skills like bow control and finger placement. She recognises the developmental stages that affect coordination, attention, and confidence — and builds every lesson around what each child is ready for.
Patricia's approach is warm and encouraging. She takes the time to build a genuine relationship with each student, creating an environment where children feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and growing at their own pace.
Why Families Trust Patricia
Why Families from Choa Chu Kang Choose Patricia
A Gentle Introduction to Violin
Learning violin is physically demanding for young children, requiring coordination of both hands, the bow arm, and posture simultaneously. Patricia introduces these skills gradually and gently, ensuring each child builds confidence before adding complexity. There is never any pressure to perform before they are ready.
Qualified in Music and Child Development
Patricia's Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education with Music Education means she understands the developmental stages that affect how children learn motor skills and process feedback. For violin, where physical coordination is crucial, this background is particularly valuable — she knows when a child is ready for the next step and when to consolidate.
Clear Progression Through ABRSM
Patricia creates a clear roadmap for each student, drawing from Suzuki methodology and the ABRSM violin syllabus as appropriate. She sets achievable milestones — a new scale, a piece played from memory, a successful exam — so that both children and parents can see real, measurable growth over each term.

Patricia's Tengah home studio is a calm, personal space designed for one-to-one violin teaching. For families in Choa Chu Kang, the proximity means a short trip to a proper learning environment where your child can hear every detail of their own tone and develop a strong ear for pitch and dynamics.

Lesson Structure
What Lessons Look Like
Each violin lesson is a one-to-one session lasting 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your child's age and concentration level. Younger beginners typically start with shorter sessions that gradually extend as their stamina and focus develop.
Patricia structures lessons around the fundamentals that matter most for violinists: correct instrument hold, bow grip and control, intonation, scales, and repertoire. For children on fractional-size violins, she pays special attention to posture and comfort, adjusting chin rest and shoulder rest positioning so that playing feels natural rather than strained.
Sight-reading, ear training, and music theory are integrated throughout each session, building well-rounded musicianship alongside technical skill. For students preparing for ABRSM violin exams, all required components are covered with targeted practice strategies and mock exam preparation.
