I started violin lessons for the first time with almost zero music background at Stradivari Strings. Violin classes very helpful and fun! My violin teacher Rita is really patient and understanding towards me and is always willing to help me...  whenever I have any questions or difficulties. The learning environment is very nice and comfortable and even sells violin at an affordable price. I had help from my violin teacher when selecting a violin. Really look forward to more violin lessons! 🙂

We walked into Rita’s shop that day despite in searching for a 1/2 size violin for our 6-year old boy. Despite of no appointment made, Rita was very patient in understanding our needs. She recommended Mr. Yeo Teow Meng knowing the boy was h... aving some violin posture problems. Glad we followed her recommendation. The boy has been enjoying every single lesson with Mr. Yeo, and made lots of improvements since enrolled at Stradivari Strings. The classes are engaging and fun. Thank to Mr. Yeo and Rita, the boy also found his new violin he treasures as his baby.

I have always like the sound of the violin and finally took my first step in Nov 2020 to take violin lessons & contacted Rita from Stradivari Strings. Rita selected some violins and bows for me to shortlist by listening to their sound. ... I’m glad to have chosen a violin that I feel a connection with. During my weekly violin classes, Rita is very encouraging and reassures me that I’m progressing well. Her confidence in me is my motivation to practice & improve. I look forward to taking my first exam next year.

I have been playing Chinese musical instrument for many years and one of my dreams is to pick up a western musical instrument – the violin. I decided to start violin classes during this pandemic period so as to make full use of the stay hom... e time. I came across Stradivari Strings and made inquiries for adult violin lessons. As someone who knows nothing about the violin, Rita from Stradivari Strings guided me through the violin and bow selection patiently and the process was very informative. I’m also a student of Mr Yeo, a professional-level violin teacher. He is very professional, passionate, encouraging and inspiring. He makes every violin lesson interesting and worthwhile and I am always looking forward to attend his violin classes. I will be aiming for grade 3 ABRSM exams in 2021. So happy to have Mr Yeo as my teacher.

I’ve always wanted to learn the violin so after doing some research, I came across Stradivari Strings. I decided to contact Rita cos the plenty of positive reviews convinced me to give Stradivari Strings a try. Teacher Rita is very prompt w... ith answering questions on WhatsApp. The violin and bow selection process was very insightful. Teacher Rita let me try out some violins and bows to find the perfect match for me. I initially wanted a factory-made violin but after the selection process I went for a 100% handcrafted violin and I don’t have any regrets. A handcrafted violin produces a more beautiful sound than a factory-made one. For violin lessons, Teacher Rita was patient, stern, and encouraging at the same time. I like how she’s stern when she needs to be for us to perform better, yet very encouraging at things done right. I highly recommend Stradivari Strings. I’m an adult beginner so it’s really never too late to pick up a new instrument and enjoy it with the right teacher.

As an adult learner with no musical background, I am so glad to have chosen Stradivari Strings to kickstart my violin lessons with. The experience was a pleasant one from the very beginning: Ms Rita took great care in helping me select a su... itable violin and violin bow, guiding me on what to look out for in an instrument. We also listened to several violins closely before settling down on one that I liked. A patient and encouraging violin teacher, Ms Rita tailors each violin class in a way that would maximize my learning. Her pedagogy made sense, and she always explains her intents clearly. Importantly, every lesson made me feel like I was actively progressing—despite my own doubts—and what a wonderful feeling that is. Already this short experience with Stradivari Strings has helped me to discover a new horizon to music, and I couldn’t be more delighted.

I started my violin lesson with Stradivari Strings after a 10 years break. Without any proper knowledge on how to choose my instrument, I was glad to have walk into this place where I was educated on the different violin choices as well as ... the separate bow pairing for each violin. I was given the opportunity to try the violins and the different bow pairings to hear and see for myself which is the best for me. Learning under Rita allowed me to build stronger basic skills as she made sure that every single lesson was efficient and every small bad habit was brought to light. I am glad to have started my second round journey in learning my violin here as i can see myself progressing and loving my instrument more every day.

I’ve been playing the viola for about 5 years having learnt the violin prior to switching instruments. I haven’t had any formal viola lessons before this year, and as the viola is not as popular an instrument as the violin or cello, finding...  a viola teacher proved difficult, and finding a GOOD viola teacher was almost impossible. As an adult with autism, just finding a teacher who could connect with me on my wavelength is a challenging task, and I’ve gone through numerous music teachers in the past, and many could not break down the barrier that is autism. On meeting Mr Yeo, my worries dissipated. Mr Yeo is very patient and encouraging during lessons, and explains things in a way that is both easy to grasp and fun! Mr Yeo also further motivates me in my practice by giving me feedback on video recordings of my practice sessions when I send them to him so that I can make the most out of my viola practice. Since starting viola lessons, I’ve improved by leaps and bounds. I’ve only had 4 adult viola lessons with him and yet I feel like I’ve had many more because of my progress. I am looking forward to learning more from him!

You’ll be having a profound discovery of blending technique * intonation * bowing * emotion * musicality * phrasing in playing. Even etudes are fun to play!

We located our violin coach from Stradivari Strings. My girls (10 & 4 years old) have been learning violin and piano with Yi Jia since February 2019. I’ve been impressed with Yi Jia in many ways. He’s professional and dependable. He’s a... lways on time and never misses a lesson. He also manages to do his best to accommodate our schedule if change is required. He comes prepared with specific lesson goals and is committed to the girls’ progress. He’s especially patient with my 4 year old who can be easily distracted during an hour lesson. Yi Jia never loses his cool, and does his best to get her engaged & learning. My 10 year old says she likes Yi Jia because when she has a question or struggles with a part of music, he always stops to explain and re-teach until she gets it. He doesn’t dismiss her questions or let her skip difficult parts of music. She also likes that he challenges her to play more difficult music and patiently teaches and encourages her until she gets it. My 4 year old says she likes Yi Jia because he teaches about notes and tells her where they are on the piano and strings. She also says Yi Jia is very nice. Yijia is one of those teachers who has deep love for what they are teaching and deeply committed to student progress.

I have been learning violin for over 5 years. While visiting Singapore, I went to all the violin shops in town. I found my dream violin at Stradivari strings. The owner, Rita, helped me to select violin. She is so knowledgeable in this fiel... d! Each violin has its own character and tone quality. While selecting my violin, I also had detailed coaching from Mr Yeo, a very experienced violin coach. He pointed out my bow hold issues and gave me pointers on shifting and executing vibrato. My tone and intonation improved a lot after I learnt these important tips from Mr Yeo. He is an inspiring teacher. Just one class from him improved my playing. With that, I was able to attain distinction in ABRSM Violin grade 5. When I return to Singapore this year, I will take more masterclasses with Mr Yeo. Thank you Stradivari Strings! You are wonderful.

However, he has been very ... kind and patient in helping me understand how to play the violin and ensures that I am comfortable with what I am doing each violin lesson. When in doubt, he explains in a way that is easy to grasp. Also, he doesn’t get mad if I mess up on a note, waits if I’m stuck on a certain song, and continues to offer support and encouragement. In a nutshell, Dwanye makes learning the violin fun and exciting.

We can see that our son, who has passed ABRSM grade 5 exams in 2016, has improved in his bowing technique under teacher Tevy. His coaching is more precise compared to other teachers.

My teacher Mr Yeo, makes every violin lesson interesting as he imparts basic theory and even dispenses historical descriptions so that the music is given its deserving mood, setting and value. In doing so, he makes me appreciate classical m... usic even more and this translates to better understanding of the pieces I play.

As an adult starter, I am pleased to have Mr Yeo as my violin teacher. He is just great – very knowledgeable about music and adaptable in style and explanation. His eye for detail allows subtle correction that makes a whole world of differe... nce to the practice. I would definitely recommend him to anybody who wishes to learn the violin in a professional, yet comforting and encouraging environment.

My twin daughters learn the violin and piano from the same teacher at Stradivari Strings. The teacher is always encouraging my girls to do their best at all times.

Lessons with Tevy, my violin teacher, are the highlight of my week. He provides a well-rounded education that goes beyond mere mastery of violin technique, often supplementing lessons with interesting tips and anecdotes that reveal his expe... rience and knowledge.
