Musical Instruments, Theory and Composing Courses

Music LifeStyle provides comprehensive music education not just  vocal lessons  but also  playing of musical instruments:

• Cello lessons
• Violin class
• Guitar lessons
• Viola lessons
• Piano courses
• Harmonica course

To achieve a holistic music education, we do not only teach our students to hold and play instruments. But we also deliver theory and composition lessons for beginners and advanced levels. As experts, we strongly advocate learning music theory because it helps understand how composers create their pieces, allowing learners to connect with the music they play more. We also emphasise on how our students could apply their knowledge in real-world musical situations. Practical application is crucial for deepening understanding and developing proficiency in music.

An immersive experience and a solid relationship with music will eventually inspire them to be able to compose. Under our music composition offerings, students will learn how to compose music and create original pieces with our music professionals.

IGCSE and International Baccalaureate (IB) Music Tuitions

Both IGCSE and IB music tuitions allow students to focus on various music education aspects: music analysis, listening, performing, and composing in different genres namely Classical, Pop, Techno and EDM(Electronic Dance Music).

The course covers structure music analysis, composing and actively listening to various musical styles, including pop, world, and classical music. Learners can enjoy making music and learning to compose and notate their compositions. As a result, this provides a foundation for developing an informed appreciation for music. Students will also create a stronger aural perception through this course.

Apart from moulding learners in an individual setting, we also offer services for music education in a collaborative and group environment.

Moreover, our International Baccalaureate (IB) music course prepares students for future success at university levels and, eventually, adulthood. A good knowledge of music is a requirement for vocations such as sound engineering, music therapy, music journalism, music editing, and music teaching.

Students who undergo the IB Music Program are expected to demonstrate knowledge, understanding, and perception of music concerning time, place, and culture and develop creative skills, comparative music analysis, and critical thinking.
