About Patricia
Patricia has spent more than a decade teaching music to young children in Singapore. Her Tengah studio is a comfortable drive from Holland Village, and she already works with families from across the southern and western corridors who value structured, thoughtful music education.
Her Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education with Music Education gives her a unique edge: she understands not just the violin but how young children's bodies and minds develop. Holland Village families who invest in quality enrichment appreciate this depth of training — it translates directly into lessons that are well-paced, effective, and enjoyable for children.
Patricia combines professional rigour with genuine warmth. She sets clear expectations for technique and musicianship while making the learning process encouraging and rewarding. Whether your child is a complete beginner or working towards an ABRSM grade, Patricia guides their development with both expertise and care.
Why Families Trust Patricia
Why Families from Holland Village Choose Patricia
Warm Yet Rigorous Teaching
Holland Village parents often seek a balance — serious musical training that does not sacrifice a child's enjoyment of the instrument. Patricia achieves exactly this. She holds high standards for posture, bow control, and intonation while keeping lessons positive and age-appropriate, so your child wants to come back each week.
Child Development Expertise
Patricia's Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education with Music Education gives her a trained understanding of how children aged four to eight develop motor skills and absorb instruction. This shapes every aspect of her violin teaching, from how she introduces bow hold to how she sequences new pieces.
Intentional Progression
Patricia plans each student's path carefully — whether through ABRSM violin grades or a tailored repertoire track. Each term has defined objectives, so you always know what your child is working towards and can see measurable progress over time.
Private, Quiet Studio
Patricia's Tengah studio is a calm, acoustically appropriate space designed for one-to-one teaching. Unlike commercial music schools where sound leaks between rooms, your child can hear the quality of their own tone — critical for developing good intonation and musical sensitivity on the violin.

Getting Here from Holland Village
Patricia's studio in Tengah is about a 22-minute drive from Holland Village, heading west along Holland Road to the AYE. For families near Chip Bee Gardens, Lorong Mambong, or the Holland Close condominiums, the route is direct and avoids city-centre traffic.

Lesson Structure
What Lessons Look Like
Violin lessons are private, one-to-one sessions designed around your child. Beginners typically start with 30-minute sessions, progressing to 45 or 60 minutes as their focus and physical stamina develop. Each lesson is planned according to your child's current stage and goals.
Patricia addresses the foundations thoroughly: correct posture and violin hold, a relaxed bow arm with proper weight distribution, tone production, and scales. As students advance, she introduces position work, vibrato, and increasingly sophisticated repertoire. For children on fractional violins — 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4 — she pays close attention to ergonomics and physical comfort, ensuring healthy habits are formed early.
ABRSM violin candidates cover all examination components — scales and arpeggios, set pieces, sight-reading, and aural tests — as part of regular lessons rather than through intensive last-minute preparation. Students not on the exam track follow a structured path through well-chosen repertoire, building technical and musical skills at a pace that suits them.
