Why Choose Private Piano Coaching?
Finding the right piano teacher in Singapore is the difference between simply hitting notes and making music. While many schools place students in shared group classes, KGMA specializes in private piano lessons that ensure every minute is dedicated to your hand posture, articulation, and musical expression.
The 1-on-1 Advantage: In a group setting, subtle bad habits like collapsing knuckles or stiff wrists often go unnoticed, leading to technical ceilings later on. At KGMA, we focus intensely on ergonomic technique from day one. Whether you are seeking kids piano lessons to build a strong classical foundation or adult piano classes to learn pop songs for leisure, our studios are equipped with high-quality upright and grand pianos for an authentic touch.
Curriculum Tailored For Every Age
Piano Lessons for Children
Perfect Pitch & Foundation
The "Junior Keys" program leverages the critical window for developing perfect pitch. We focus on hand shape (the 'claw'), finger independence, and reading the Grand Staff through engaging, colorful methods.
The Hybrid Advantage
We blend rigorous ABRSM technique with Disney and Pop favorites. This keeps motivation high while building a serious classical foundation.
Phase 1: The Hand Arch
Building the imaginary 'ball' in the hand to prevent collapsing knuckles.
Phase 2: Note Reading
Navigating Middle C and reading simple patterns on the Treble Clef.
Phase 3: Hands Together
The magic moment. Coordinating Left and Right hands for the first time.
Phase 4: Rhythm & Pulse
Counting out loud while playing. Keeping a steady internal beat.
Piano Lessons for Teenagers
DSA, Exams & Pop Style
Whether aiming for Direct School Admission (DSA) via music or simply wanting to play in a church band, we provide the tools. Fast-track ABRSM grades or dive deep into chords and improvisation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy a piano to start?
For beginners (first 6 months), a good quality digital piano (weighted keys, 88 keys) is sufficient. As you progress to Grade 3 and above, we highly recommend renting or buying an acoustic upright piano to develop proper finger strength, tone production, and dynamic control.
How long does it take to learn piano?
With our private coaching, students typically can play simple songs within 1-2 months. The journey from beginner to ABRSM Grade 8 usually takes 6-8 years, depending on practice discipline. Our tailored curriculum aims to accelerate this process by focusing on efficient practice techniques.
What age is suitable for kids piano lessons?
We accept students as young as 4 years old for our Junior Keys program, which focuses on rhythm, aural skills, and hand shape. 5-6 years old is the "golden age" to start formal training, as the fingers are strong enough and the ear is developing rapidly (perfect pitch window).
Do you teach Pop songs or just Exams?
We believe in a balanced music education. While we use the Classical (ABRSM) framework to build technique, we strongly encourage students to learn Pop songs, chords, and Jazz improvisation to keep lessons fun and relevant.
