About "The Music Circle"
The Music Circle is a music school operating islandwide from its centre at 4 Queen's Road, Singapore, verified by KakiList and registered with ACRA. It holds a Google rating of 4.7 out of 5 across 39 reviews — a moderate sample that is broadly encouraging but worth weighing alongside a direct conversation before enrolment. Pricing is positioned in the mid-range ($$).
When enquiring, it helps to come prepared with your child's current level and any instrument or syllabus you have in mind — for example, whether lessons should align with ABRSM, Trinity, or an informal recreational pathway. Prospective students typically ask about group versus one-to-one formats, term or monthly commitment structures, and whether sessions are held in-centre or offered online. Clarifying these points early helps ensure the programme is the right fit before any fees are paid.
The most straightforward next step is to reach out via WhatsApp, phone, or the online enquiry form to confirm current availability, ask about a trial class, and request a full fee breakdown including any registration or materials charges before committing to a term.

If you are looking for a more holistic approach to music education and an emphasis in nurturing a passion for the arts then The Music Circle is for you. Here group classes complement individual sessions, they also organise multi day camps during the school holidays, recitals and performance classes, outings to see shows and so on. Both my kids have been attending for several months and really enjoy their time here.

Our experience at The Music Circle has been great! I enrolled my children in the music group class and individual piano lessons, and I am happy with the progress they have made. I cannot recommend this school enough! The music group class is an absolute gem. Not only does it cover essential music theory, but the instructors also introduce the kids to a wide array of fascinating music genres and musicians. It's like a journey through the world of music, and my children have developed an appreciation for various musical styles. The individual piano classes have been exceptional as well. The teachers are patient, skilled, and truly understand how to connect with young learners. One aspect that sets this music school apart is the fantastic performances they organize for the students. These events provide a platform for the kids to showcase their talent and hard work in front of a supportive audience. It has been wonderful to witness the progress my children have made and see their confidence soar on stage. Additionally, the staff at the school are friendly, approachable, and genuinely care about the students' musical journey. They create a nurturing and encouraging environment where kids feel comfortable expressing themselves through music.

My girls have been going to TMC for piano and violin lessons for a couple of years. This school is really so different in their approach and the teachers are focused on musicianship and long term development rather than subscribing to the ABRSM treadmill. Am glad we found this place and would highly recommend it for anyone who wants their kids to have a love for music. I love the mural they did over the holidays, i think it reflects their creative spirit!

I love The Music Circle’s curriculum, which focusses on building a strong music foundation in the early years through story and art instead of rushing children into learning instruments. I love the way the school teaches solfége and the teachers are very patient and passionate. Class size is just right and everyone there is so warm and friendly. Highly recommend this music school.

My two kids started their music circle journey more than a year ago. My elder kid has just completed his piano juries and small group performance recently. Through the process it has not only built up his interest and confidence but also a sense of belonging to the music family. My younger daughter started her journey of learning music through fun and games and activities and began her piano lessons recently. All in all, their learning experiences have not been the classroom style that is typical of traditional music school where examination is the objective. Here the experience is engaging and the teachers teach patiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does "The Music Circle" charge per session?›
The Music Circle is priced at the mid-range ($$) level, though specific per-session rates are not publicly listed and should be confirmed directly with the school. Music lesson fees in Singapore typically vary by format: one-to-one sessions tend to run higher than group classes, and rates often differ by instrument and teacher experience. Many schools offer monthly packages or term-based enrolment rather than pure pay-per-session arrangements. Ask whether a registration fee or materials charge applies, and whether sibling or multi-subject discounts are available. A trial class fee, if offered, is usually credited against your first month if you proceed. See the full Music Schools cost guide for Singapore →
Can I try a class before committing?›
Many music schools offer a trial lesson — either at a reduced fee or occasionally complimentary — before a student commits to a term. This is the best way to assess whether the teaching style, pacing, and level are a good match. During the trial, pay attention to how the teacher explains concepts, whether the student feels at ease, and whether the repertoire or syllabus aligns with your goals. Contact The Music Circle directly via WhatsApp or phone to ask about their trial class policy, associated cost, and what the session covers. If a trial is not offered, ask if you can observe a lesson or speak with a current parent before enrolling.
What are the tutors' credentials at "The Music Circle"?›
Tutor qualifications at music schools in Singapore can range from diploma-level conservatory training to degree holders from local or overseas institutions, with some teachers holding ABRSM Grade 8 performance or teaching diplomas. Relevant credentials to ask about include the teacher's performance background, formal music education qualifications, years of teaching experience, and familiarity with the specific syllabus your child is preparing for — whether ABRSM, Trinity, or an informal recreational programme. The Music Circle's specific teacher profiles are not listed in publicly available data. It is worth asking directly which teacher would be assigned, what their background is, and whether there is continuity of the same teacher across terms.
