After a disappointing experience with the chain piano studio, I turned to Happy Pianist to find a private teacher for my girl and the experience with Mark was just wonderful. After sending Mark our time slot and location preferences, he was able to provide us an ample list of teacher options that fits all our requirements in just a few days, with all the teachers qualifications and experience listed for our consideration. Mark is also super helpful in setting with trial class with the teacher! The teacher we eventually decided on is also way more professional and committed than what we had in the chain studio! My girl has been with her new piano teacher for almost 5 months now, not just her skill and enthusiasm improved a lot over the last few months, there’s also much more personal touch on communication and scheduling I can have with her new piano teacher. Will definitely recommend Happy Pianist to anyone who is looking for piano teacher but don’t know whether to start with! Thanks a lot Mark!!

I’m so grateful to have chanced upon Mark the pianist while searching for a home-based piano tutor for my 4-year-old daughter. As parents with no musical background, my husband and I were unsure where to start—but Mark kindly recommended several excellent tutors. We chose Ms. Violet Ang, who came highly praised for her patience with young children. Her sincere dedication and gentle guidance have sparked my daughter’s interest in piano, and she now genuinely enjoys her lessons!

My girl have been with Teacher Violet ( via Happy Pianist ) since April 2025, she always look forward to her lesson because Teacher Violet always prioritize my girl's mood and pace every class. ( Ensure she understands the theory and rythem before moving on) She is nuturing and always follows up closely with the parents after every class. It's amazing how she bonded with my girl through music and encouraged her with litte stickers. She also listen and respect my girl ideas. Example: She will ask if she can learn certain song and Teacher Violet will make effort to bring the score and guide her. Very spontaneous and motivating.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does "The Happy Pianist" charge per session?›
The Happy Pianist displays a mid-range pricing tier ($$), but specific per-session rates, monthly packages, or term fees are not publicly listed. In the Singapore music tuition market, individual piano lessons typically range from S$40–80 per session for group classes and S$60–150 or more for one-to-one tuition, depending on the teacher's qualifications and lesson duration. A trial class fee may apply and is worth confirming in advance. Ask about materials costs (such as examination entry fees for ABRSM or Trinity grades, music books, or practice resources) and whether sibling or multi-lesson package discounts are available.

Can I try a class before committing?›
Many music schools in Singapore offer a trial lesson, sometimes at a reduced fee or as part of the standard first session rate. A trial class is a practical way to assess whether the teaching style suits the student's learning pace, whether the level placement feels appropriate, and whether the instructor's personality is a good fit — particularly important for younger children. When attending a trial, pay attention to how the teacher explains concepts, how engaged the student remains throughout, and whether the repertoire or syllabus aligns with your goals (recreational playing vs. graded examinations). Contact The Happy Pianist directly to confirm their trial class policy and any associated cost before booking.
What are the tutor's credentials at "The Happy Pianist"?›
Specific information about the qualifications of The Happy Pianist's instructors is not publicly available in the current listing. When enquiring, it is worth asking whether teachers hold a music degree or diploma (such as from the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory, LaSalle, or an overseas conservatoire), whether they have teaching certificates (such as ABRSM DipABRSM or similar), and how many years of teaching experience they have. If your child is preparing for graded examinations (ABRSM, Trinity, or others), confirm that the instructor is familiar with the relevant syllabus and has a track record of preparing students for those assessments. Contact The Happy Pianist directly to ask about individual teacher backgrounds before committing to a term.
