Here Are Some Common Questions And Answers Regarding Online Music Lessons:
What Music Instruments Can I Start Online Lessons With?
Violin, viola, cello, double bass, saxophone, flute, guitar, ukulele, piano, keyboard.
We also coach music theory and vocals online.
What Are Your Goals?
Do you want to be a professional level musician performing on stage, or just want to have fun and learn something new? Are you a beginner just starting out music lessons (for example violin lessons online or cello lessons online) or are you an intermediate or advance level student looking for master classes? Our music master classes conducted by professional music teachers can also be flute lessons online, saxophone lessons online, piano lessons online or keyboard lessons online.
Do you want to start online ukulele lessons or online guitar lessons for music therapy and to relief stress? We can gear music lesson plans to that objective accordingly.
Whatever your objective may be, it is important to identify your goal first. The more specific you can identify your reason for starting music lessons, the better our music teachers can work out the lesson plan to meet your goals.
How is your schedule like?
Is your schedule very flexible and can you have music lessons (like violin lessons online) any day and any time? Or do you have work or school commitments thus can only have music lessons outside of these hours? Would you like weekly lessons or wish to accelerate your progress by planning lessons two times a week? Are you relatively free and so have a lot of time to spend on quality and mindful practice? Or do you have a hectic schedule and can only devote less than half an hour for practice daily?
How long should each lesson duration last?
It depends on the student’s age and the level. A young student age 3 to 5 may start with 30 minute lesson. Beginner students typically can plan 45 minute lesson while advanced level students need 1 hour or 1.5 hour lesson duration as the repertoire is longer. Advance level techniques also require more time to explain, demonstrate and refine.
What is your learning style?
Are you an auditory or visual learner? Do you learn better with music theory coaching? If you already have foundation, is there a specific genre you wish to explore?
The above are the key points you need to consider when starting music lessons online. Make the best use of your time at home and contact Stradivari Strings at +65-98137769, or email info@stradivaristrings.com to arrange your online music lessons today.

One of the best things that happened to me this year is getting in touch with my cello teacher Ms Rita. I started lessons since January and have come to enjoy my Singapore cello lessons for a variety of reasons: First, for effective learning to occur, it’s important that there is a personal student-teacher fit. This is the first consideration in learning an instrument on a 1-1 basis. Right from the get-go, I found Rita to have an excellent social and communication skills and a winsome sense of humour, a prerequisite for me. This has made cello classes for me really enjoyable. Second, very early in our pre-lesson discussion, Rita impressed me as a very knowledgeable person about the art and manufacture of the cello and cello bow. Her intimate historical and technical knowledge of how the instrument is crafted and it’s impact on its sound quality (and intrinsic value) persuaded me that I have made a good decision to take beginner cello lessons from her. A third reason why I eagerly look forward coming to Stradivari Strings each week is no less because of her unusual pedagogical approach – fun, supportive, encouraging, and pertinently informative. More delightful for me is her use of taking live videos of parts of my lesson for me to view as personal feedback based on the laudable principle of “seeing yourself play as

I had an amazing experience with Stradivari Strings, beginning with my first cello and cello bow purchase and subsequent cello lessons. The owner, Rita, is knowledgeable on all matters pertaining to string instruments. Rita is must-see for anyone interested in purchasing quality string instruments (violin, viola, cello and bows). Cello lessons with Rita is challenging yet enjoyable. I always look forward to our next lesson. Thanks a lot, Rita.

With any learning curve, Stradivari Strings focuses and emphasizes a good foundation through a fine selection of top tier teachers. In my case, Mr. Yeo has an exceptional approach to teaching and learning through his methodology which allows for a true understanding of the violin instrument and technique. His utmost faith in me has led me to immediately jump the hoops to prepare for Grade 5 within a short time frame, and I’m truly excited to undertake the ABRSM Grade 5 Practice Exam soon! I’d personally recommend Mr. Yeo’s teaching capabilities to anyone who would seriously consider learning the violin or for someone to sharpen their prowess on the violin! Always inspired, always focussed and always fun!

I have been taking violin classes from Mr Yeo for since 2016, and each lesson has been very enjoyable and fun. Mr Yeo is always smiling and very happy which puts me at ease while learning difficult passages or techniques. He is also very happy to explain to me the reasoning behind certain playing techniques which helps me appreciate playing the violin even more. I can confidently say that my progress is largely due to Mr Yeo’s dedication and professionalism as a teacher. I would strongly recommend Mr Yeo to anyone who would wish to start violin lessons!

When I first walked into Stradivari Strings to re-string my violin, I didn’t know I’ve walked into a whole new world of experience. Rita could tell I have a lot of interest in picking up violin. And with her sharp eyes, she could tell my old violin was factory made and of low quality. She then proceeded to set up an appointment with me for a new violin since I was so interested. During the appointment, Rita made sure to let me play and emote with each violin and bow, it was a hands on session of playing on a range of violin and bow. She also shared her vast knowledge and experience on violin with me. Throughout the 2 hour appointment on selecting violin and bow, I was taking in all the teachings she had to offer. Alas, I found one that I really loved, although a little out of my budget, Rita took the time and offered to help with financial planning. The class afterwards with Mr Yeo was also amazing. I had learnt so much in 45 mins that I could play twinkle twinkle little star within that session. Thank you Rita and thank you Stradivari Strings for the immersing experience! Highly recommended!

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 field! 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.

My daughter wanted very much to learn cello as her second music instrument, but without any knowledge of cello, we searched online to find out where to buy cello. My daughter being concerned not to overspend her parent’s money, had wanted to buy a second hand cello online. However I managed to persuade her not to do so. We found Stradivari Strings and arranged an appointment with Ms Rita. We had such a wonderful experience — Rita spent a total of 3 hours with my daughter. During the selection process, she patiently explained the different wood qualities in making cello and bows, and guided my daughter to play on the range available so she can identify the tone quality she likes. With Ms Rita’s unhurried assistance, my daughter was allowed to test play the range of cello and bows. Finally she found the perfect cello and bow and will start with a professional level coach for lessons. My whole experience with Stradivari Strings is very positive. And I am very happy that we came to the right shop and enlisted the assistance of the right person to get the perfect cello and bow for my daughter.

Introduced to Stradivari Strings by owner, Ms Rita. The service extended was bar none, and above all, highly informative, with immaculate violin selections of multiple price range. It was a pleasant surprise to have sat through 10-12 violins and the opportunity to try violins and bows of extensive range. The experience of a “violin & bow” fitting will be etched in memory as one of the memorable service rendered for me personally, especially for violin beginners, wanting to explore the different options in buying violins. Rita is patient and has a distinct sound knowledge of violins and the respective bows, and the pairing session truly made it more enjoyable. To me, her service is absolutely immaculate, with attention to detail and most of all, sincere. Thank you Rita, for being a catalyst to my musical journey, learning the violin. Never have I seen, an excellent service anywhere here, and it’s your service that inspires us to rid the procrastination and dive straight in! Highly recommended!

I moved from the United States to Singapore couple years back and brought my beloved old violin along. It has not acclimatized well and I had issues with the sound post dropping numerous times. Rita from Stradivari Strings assessed the violin and advised that I go for customized sound post cut from Italian wood. This would enhance the tone of the violin and the issue of sound post dropping will be solved. I am glad that I took her advice. My violin plays brilliantly now. I recommend any serious violin player to engage the services of Stradivari Strings’ luthier.

We come to Singapore during summer holidays to visit family annually. My children need to keep up with their violin and cello practice during this time period, and we rent the instruments from Stradivari Strings. They have fractional sizes all the way to full size violin and cello available for rent. We also managed to locate great cello and violin teachers from Stradivari Strings, to coach and practice with my children. This is excellent one-stop service from Stradivari Strings!

I have been learning the cello for one year. The lessons are practical focus and I find that I needed theory lessons to supplement the practical part, so that I get a total understanding of reading music. Stradivari Strings found me a music theory teacher who comes to my workplace for music theory lessons during my lunch break. This is a perfect arrangement and I have been progressing well.

Technique is of paramount importance when it comes to playing music. I have been with teacher Joyce (bamboo flute) for 2 years. She has taught me the necessary fundamentals in the playing of the Chinese flute. Under her patient teaching and guidance, I achieved distinction in both grade 5 and 8 dizi examinations. I believe that her teaching is commendable and very suitable for students who are still grasping their basics in Chinese flute.

My 8 year old daughter and I have been learning guitar basics from Joel for a few months now. Joel is very patient and is able to adjust his teaching style for us given our very different needs. He comes prepared with his lesson plans and is able to teach in a dynamic manner while adjusting to our varied pace. It’s a pleasure to learn from Joel and I highly recommend him as a teacher for students of all ages and levels.

My son is at ABRSM grade 5 level and I was looking for a senior level coach to take him up to advance level. Stradivari Strings placed him under the guidance of piano teacher Matthew. Right from the first lessons, my son got on well with him and I am happy that we have engaged him to be our permanent piano coach.

My 10 year old daughter is an advanced level violin player. Her talent in violin playing is nurtured with active participation in violin competitions held in Europe. We believe this grooms confidence level. We live in Switzerland and return to Singapore during the Summer holiday break each year. Mr Yeo has been instrumental in coaching her high level performance techniques during one on one master classes. We are grateful that we can find a great coach in Mr Yeo

Stradivari Strings was very thorough in helping to select a viola which is suitable for my build. I received great advice and information including the type of wood, age of the maple spruce, to the quality of the rosin for my viola bow. I am very pleased with the viola and the lovely sound it produces.

Rita at Stradivari Strings is wonderful! I had to get my 6 year old daughter a cello. She was informative, honest and very helpful. She explained the different types of instruments and the prices. When I asked her about lessons for my girl, she offered to help with instructors she knew. My other daughter needs a ukulele and we are getting it from Stradivari Strings … all our best.

I bought myself a cello from Stradivari Strings. Rita treats her customers like family and really makes them comfortable by understanding their needs and expectations. Her hand is like a magic wand which makes the right cello come to you. I believe the most important thing is you should get connected to the instrument you buy and I am really grateful to Rita for making it possible.

I really enjoyed myself during my violin selection session with Stradivari Strings. Rita was very patient and guided me to try a wide range of violin. She educated me a lot of in terms of product knowledge about the violin and the violin bow, and explained to me how to pick a good violin. I spent eight hours over 2 days at Stradivari Strings and selected the violin and violin bow which I will own for life.

Stradivari Strings is very friendly and knowledgeable about music instruments. During my violin selection session with Stradivari Strings, I was given a lot of information to make an informed choice on the violin I would eventually select, I was given a lot of time to decide on my violin and violin bow. They were not pushy at all. I am extremely happy with the Peter Racz violin I eventually selected at Stradivari Strings.

Last year, I decided to take up the violin. I found the contact for Stradivari Strings and gave Rita a call to set up an appointment to select a student level violin. Rita was very thorough in asking about my level of commitment to learning the violin as she wants to find an instrument and price range that is suitable for me. She was also very patient in answering all of my questions. Rita gave off a good vibe to me as a would-be customer in that she was not pushy at all, and she emphasized that I should take my time to consider that the violin is something that I like, and is within my budget. When I requested a second appointment to view other violins, she was happy to accommodate my request. To date, I have already purchased two violin and two bows from Stradivari Strings. Their professionalism and level of service is something that I would strongly recommend to anyone who is looking to purchase a string instrument.
