Both my children truly enjoy their classes at Tanglewood! The teachers are highly qualified, professional, and passionate about music education. I especially appreciate the regular recitals organized by the school — they’ve been a fantastic way for my children to gain performance experience and build confidence. Tanglewood clearly prioritizes the quality of its music education. The administrative staff are also wonderful — always friendly, patient with the kids, and quick to respond to any queries. I’m very happy with our experience here!

Tanglewood Music School provides a wholistic music learning experience for its students. The school organises many recitals and concerts for them to participate in and these provide opportunities for the students to hone their performance skills and build confidence as a person. All their teachers are highly qualified and passionate too. My daughter currently learns under Ms Nina, who is a firm, yet patient violin teacher. She has helped to improve her technical proficiency and confidence in performing in front of others. Tanglewood staff and teachers are also very warm-hearted and are always ready to assist and go out of the way to help my daughter in her music learning journey.

As a parent, I’ve had a truly positive experience with Tanglewood Music School. The teachers are not only highly skilled and passionate, but the entire staff is incredibly friendly, responsive, and supportive. While the school fees are on the higher side and lessons are based on term packages, the value and quality of education we’ve received make it all worthwhile. The Tanglewood staff have been very understanding and accommodating whenever we needed to make changes, even with their policies in place. Despite frequent adjustments to our schedule, they’ve always kept me informed without fail—sending updates promptly so we’re never confused and always show up on the correct day. That level of communication and care really stands out. I’ve also appreciated the consistent communication I’ve had with the staff regarding exams, music pieces, and progress. They’re always willing to offer guidance and helpful advice, which has made a big difference in supporting my child’s learning journey. What I love most is that Tanglewood doesn’t only focus on exams. They regularly organize recitals, workshops, masterclasses, year-end concerts, and ensemble sessions. They even offer overseas trips, which have been a great opportunity for my child to explore music beyond the classroom and gain broader exposure and experience. These extra activities really help build confidence and joy in learning music. Overall, I’m very thankful for everything Tanglewood has done for my child, and I would highly recommend the school to any parent looking for a nurturing, well-rounded, and professional music education.

The teachers here are truly dedicated professionals, experienced, passionate, and attentive to each student’s musical growth. Beyond regular lessons, the school offers students many valuable opportunities, including recitals, overseas exchange programmes, ensemble experiences (both within and outside the school), and enriching workshops. The administrative team also deserves praise as they are friendly, reliable, and highly meticulous when it comes to planning. Communication is always respectful and timely, and they are responsive to any concerns or needs. Overall, it’s a nurturing and vibrant environment for any student (young and old) who wants to grow musically and confidently. Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does "Tanglewood Music School" charge per session?›
Tanglewood Music School displays a mid-range pricing tier ($$) on its KakiList listing, but specific per-session or monthly package rates are not publicly listed. In the Singapore music school market, individual instrumental lessons typically range from S$35–80 per 30-minute session and S$60–130 per 60-minute session, depending on the instrument, the teacher's qualifications, and whether lessons are one-to-one or in a small group. Trial class fees, if offered, are sometimes charged at a reduced rate or applied as credit toward a term enrolment. Additional costs to confirm include music materials (books, exam entry fees), any annual recital or studio participation fees, and sibling or package discounts if applicable. It is worth asking whether fees are charged per session, as a monthly retainer, or as a fixed term package, and what the cancellation or make-up lesson policy is.

Can I try a class before committing?›
Many music schools in Singapore offer a trial lesson before a term commitment is required, though policies vary. A trial class gives the student and parent a chance to assess whether the teaching style suits the learner's personality, whether the level is appropriately pitched, and whether the student feels engaged and comfortable with the teacher. When attending a trial, pay attention to how the teacher handles corrections, whether the pacing feels right, and whether the lesson is structured or exploratory — both approaches can work, but one may suit your child better. Ask at the end of the trial about the recommended starting grade or syllabus level, and what the expected progression looks like. Contact Tanglewood Music School directly via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to ask whether a trial lesson is available and what the cost or conditions are.
What are the tutors' credentials at "Tanglewood Music School"?›
Specific tutor credentials for Tanglewood Music School are not publicly listed on its KakiList profile. In the Singapore music education market, qualified music teachers typically hold a performance or music education degree (from conservatories such as NAFA, LaSalle, YST, or overseas institutions), grade 8 or diploma-level certification in the relevant instrument (ABRSM, Trinity, or LTCL/ATCL), and experience preparing students for graded examinations. For younger learners or students preparing for ABRSM or Trinity exams, it is particularly useful to ask whether the teacher has a track record with the specific syllabus and exam board you are targeting. For adult learners pursuing recreational playing rather than exams, teaching style and musical genre experience may matter more than formal certification. Tanglewood Music School can be contacted via WhatsApp or phone to ask about individual teacher backgrounds before committing to lessons.
