My boy has been learning piano with Ms Wendy for more than 5 years, and I am grateful and pleased with the progress he has made under her guidance. She has built a wonderful rapport with him, making each lesson something he genuinely looks forward to. Her patience, encouragement, and ability to connect on a personal level have really helped him grow both musically and in confidence. Highly recommended!

Aureus is great! My daughter did a trial drum session with Mr. Cruise in December 2024, and we decided to start regular weekly lessons from January 2025, continuing until now (April 2025). I must say, from not knowing anything about drums, she is now playing grade 1 & 2 songs! Within just 3-4 months! Mr. Cruise is patient, but he makes sure she nails (almost) every beat before moving her on to the next song. I highly recommend Mr. Cruise if you’re looking for a drum teacher for your child. I also love the fact that Aureus allows flexibility with classes and replacement classes. Any missed lessons can be used by anyone in the family, for any instrument, and with any teacher.

I'm a parent contemplating enrolling my daughter here, and Teacher Tamy has been really helpful and supportive, especially when I was a bit confused about the piano lessons. He made things clearer and easier to understand. The class is engaging and fun, and my daughter enjoys it. I'd recommend this place if you're thinking of signing your child up, especially with Teacher Tamy.

Hi Teachers,
We would like to thank teachers Jellyn and Vallerrie for the support and encouragement they have provided to our daughter, Kanali.
Their deep knowledge of technique, tone, and breath control has helped her grow more confident and skilled with each lesson. They are patient, encouraging, and always tailor the sessions to fit her voice and goals. We have noticed a huge improvement in her range and vocal strength since she started. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, we highly recommend them to anyone serious about developing their singing voice.
Thank you once again Team 👍

My child has been learning piano with Teacher Jelyn. He looks forward to his class every Sunday and thoroughly enjoys her lessons. She has been motivating him and nudging him towards challenges, while ensuring that he has a sound foundation as he tackles more complicated pieces.
The recital experience built his confidence, and he is looking forward to the next one.
Teacher Jelyn actively updates us on his weekly progress and points out areas requiring more practice. A truly dedicated and warm teacher!
