Below are testimonials from some of our students:
It's been a great experience learning violin under Janice's guidance, a new and difficult instrument to pick up for me. She has been one of the best motivators. She is both a Friend and teacher to me. Superb tutor.
Janice has been a very patient with my 4 year old daughter who is starting to enjoy her classes more. She is good with kids and is able to understand as well as adjust her teaching techniques as per their needs.
Janice is a helpful teacher and gave me a good start to learning the violin as an absolute beginner. Very patient when correcting techniques and conducts lessons that includes practical skills and music theory.
Learning the violin with Janice has been nothing short of an amazing experience. Accommodating and patient, she adjusts the lesson pacing to suit each student, making it a joy for anyone to jump into learning the violin. She makes learning music theory easy and fun, even for a beginner. During the first conversation, she took the effort to understand my needs, goals and even my preferred location, before pairing me with a teacher. You can be certain that you will be in good hands throughout your journey with the violin!
Previously, Sze Meen had violin lessons in a well-known music school without much progress. Thereafter, we found teacher Janice, who is very patient and experienced. Under her guidance, Sze Meen has made good progress and became more motivated to learn. Teacher Janice makes the effort to update on Sze Meen's progress after every lesson. I'm so glad to have found a good violin teacher for Sze Meen!
I have had around 6 lessons with Janice and it has been very helpful. In the past I had tried learning the violin by myself, on and off over 2 years or so, and made very little progress. As an adult learner with no prior musical training and blessed with poor body awareness, I do need plenty of guidance - and it's great to be able to get that. Janice emphasizes a lot on having the right posture, hold, bowing, and on being relaxed. She goes to great lengths to fix my errors, hand-holding till things are right. There is plenty to unlearn if you didn't start correctly. I also like the selection and order of her lessons and the pieces we play. Janice has initiated me into reading musical notation, which I had incorrectly presumed was very diffcult. This has made it possible for me to discover and learn new music to practise.
I have been attending going to Janice for violin classes for months now and it’s been a great experience. She has amazing personality, while she is fun personality, always smiling, she is on point with learning, which is amazing combination for a teacher. I started as a complete beginner and she is very patient with me all the time, even when i miss classes and practicing due to crazy work at my office. I would totally recommend Janice as a teacher for beginners as well as advanced. Btw she has been playing violin for decades, hence when she plays, it’s extremely motivating.
It is really helpful to have such a service to connect with teachers directly. I had first emailed many schools for lessons for an adult beginner, and had got almost no replies. Having been learning with Janice has been very helpful to correct my errors and learn the basics properly from the ground up. She is patient and her lessons have been a good mix of theory and practice, strengthened through exam preparations. I also appreciate the flexibility of being able to arrange timings at mutual convenience, as my schedule is unpredictable - don't think this would have been possible through a big-name school.
The lessons are fun and interesting The teacher is knd and helpful as she helps me whenever i need help.
Lesson was Good , Mr Elgar is a patient teacher who teaches in a no stress environment making it easy to learn.
For my boy who sort of wonder off at time, firm and caring Teacher Xiao Qing makes sure he gets back and focus on his pieces. It helps that Teacher Xiao Qing is a mother herself with a young child and knows how to handle them.
My childhood dream was to play a violin. As a beginner, I searched for a violin teacher to properly demonstrate and explain to me the basics of playing a violin. I came across this website, Learn Violin Lessons Singapore, and inquire for a teacher. The response was so quick and gave me all the information that I needed like the materials that I need for the lessons, necessary fees and of course the quality of the violin. Overall, I love the service they have provided me. Currently, I am studying violin under Ms. Janice. She’s very accommodating, encouraging, patient and compassionate, which makes me enjoy playing violin. Keep Inspiring people.
She’s very nice and pleasant, and playing the violin is definitely more interesting and fun under her guidance. It’s also great as she’s patient if you’re slower and because of her flexible schedule. Highly recommended if you want a good experience while learning
Charlotte has a very short attention span. She would start to play punk or cry at her previous teacher after 15 minutes of every lesson. But never since she started learning from teacher Janice. She enjoys her violin lessons a lot and did not complain that the lesson is too long. We believe that Charlotte will progress more and excel under teacher Janice's guidance.~ Agnes&Max, parent of Charlotte
I love how i can rent a premium violin and use it while learning. Thank you Janice for the great help.
Super great violin for me as a beginner it is easy to play.
Very happy with my violin purchase from Janice. sound is great. Thanks for recommending a teacher from your team too.
I found it very easy to go to Janice's studio and she showed me all different type of violins before I decided to buy the right one.
I really enjoyed my classes with Janice, she knows how to teach you step by step and her prices are reasonable. Thanks .
Just bought this beautiful violin from LVL. The service and attention I received was excellent. They have a really good range of violins to suit all budgets and provide a good after sales service. I highly recommend them.

*Last 2 photos were from their older location at Pearl Hill Chinatown* -Update 30 May 2025- *Very long read* ~Getting there: From Beauty World Exit B, cross the first road, turn left and walk towards Chu Tin Court, cross the road again and you'll find LVL Music Academy at the end of roadside, same building of Chu Tin Court.~ (This is their new location, after relocated from Pearl Hill Chinatown.) It is very accessible (even with cello) with amenities near by. They even have a toilet within the school/shop. There is a carpark around the corner too. Their website has full of information. Place is also pretty cozy, simple yet elegant design. Whatsapp chat and Staff on-site Ms. Janice the principal, Mr. Cong and the others are very professional and friendly. I had a chat with Mr Alan their Lutheir, one who is very passionate about his job and would give me tips on how to maintain my instruments. I love their lutheir service too! They are very experienced and also open to trying repairs of all kinds. I loved the work they did with my cello bridge and cello neck projection, made my cello sounded livelier than before. Even when asked to try rehair my Mongolian-Chinese (Morin Khuur/Matouqin- bought externally) instrument bow, which is unfamiliar to them, they are willing to try and stated to me that there could be risks which I then signed the undertaking form but turns out, they made my bow better than before! Top-notch work! I always return to support them. Staffs are always provide me detailed explanation of services and products. Demonstrating their instruments to help you make better decision when buying. They never hard sell their products too. Products are of great quality! Also houses affordable practice room rentals. As a cello student, I had a great time, Teacher Mr. Oleg is very patient and knowledgeable about music pieces and the cello. Within an hour, he provided deep teachings of the subject and gave plenty of demonstrations and corrections. I was always looking forward to each class. Even being a busy adult myself, they do try really hard to accomadate to my schedules. I really have no complaints. Do come by anytime! I had spent hours even within a day itself, just to practice my instruments in their quiet and conducive room. Thanks for reading this long post. Ignore any fake negative reviews! -Update 28 Jun 2024- *Refering to Last 2 photos that was from older location* Again.. I really want to thank Mr. Oleg W. again for the time and the fantastic cello experience. Just 2 terms, I went "from zero to cello." I am now able to read and play simple pieces. I can even practice on my own with a proper foundation and directions.

Alan is an exceptional luthier! He repaired a little chip on our violin quickly and skillfully, offering honest advice and options. The repair was flawless and barely noticeable. Alan is friendly, considerate, and even did the job free of charge even though we insisted on paying! We’ve also had a tailpiece with fine-tuners installed before—always fast, affordable, and professional service. Highly recommended for anyone needing violin repairs or advice!

We had a wonderful experience with Janice and her team at LVL Academy. Their knowledge, patience, and expertise made the process of getting my girl her first violin smooth and enjoyable. They took the time to guide us through everything we needed to know and ensured she was comfortable and confident with her choice. Thank you for making this a memorable milestone for her!

I had a very positive experience with LVL Music Academy, especially with Janice although I didn't get a chance to meet her. One of the pegs on my violin was proving wouldn't sit still after I tuned the string. Being the beginner that I am, I had thought it was an issue with the string. But as it turned out, it was a workman ship issue. The issue was solved by sanding down the peg a little and applying a resin. It was a fuss free quick 10 minute job, and ... LVL Music Academy didn't even want to collect payment despite my offer!
