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 bo... w, 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.

I had a great experience selecting my first cello at Stradivari Strings. Rita had made the process so comfortable and pleasant. She encouraged me to “connect” with the instrument and bow and did not rush me into selecting one. She was patie and provided me with lots of information on the different cello and bows. Cello lessons with Rita are nothing short of fun. She is very enthusiastic, encouraging and approachable. I have progressed immensely under her guidance. She is sharp and makes sure the foundation is done right. With her easy-going nature, it is effortless to start a conversation with Rita. I love to chat with her after lessons. I am also thankful that Rita is always kind enough to re-schedule my cello lessons whenever I need to. These have made my learning journey an amazing and encouraging one

When my son needed a violin to start his lessons, I was so happy when I chanced upon Rita and the Stradivari Strings violin shop. After our initial phone call in which she asked more about my needs, she scheduled a private consultation at the shop. It was time well spent as she carefully explained the different considerations in a violin purchase and where my son got to try different violins and bows before settling on one to call his own. Rita was very gracious, genuine, and patient throughout, and I could sense her deep passion and care for music and her work. She is a breath of fresh air, and as a happy customer, I highly recommend working with Rita and Stradivari Strings. --- Rommel

"I was looking to upgrade my violin bow and decided to give Stradivari Strings a try after reading the many good reviews. I really enjoyed the bow selection process and Rita was so patient and helpful by sharing so many tips! I like how she customised the selection process based on your skill level, your needs and her experience. Though I was only looking for a bow, Rita also gave me tips on my violin’s set up and suggestions on how I can improve on my playing. Would highly recommend Rita and Stradivari Strings to everyone, will definitely be back again! " --- Cheryl Lim

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.

I bought my first ever Cello at Stradivari strings, a cello and violin shop in Singapore. I have been looking everywhere for a good beginner level cello at an affordable price and Stradivari Strings is the only store that had an attractive offer. I went on to enquire about the cello by calling them and Ms Rita Yeo answered very promptly and kindly. I went to their store and the cello I bought sounded really good, came with a padded bag and a nice cello bow. Ms Rita advised on everything about the handling and care of the cello. I brought my cello back home feeling very satisfied. --- Rusyd

The best age for children to start music lessons is from 5 to 7 years old. It also depends on the type of musical instrument. The younger kids can start with the violin or ukulele. While the heavier musical instrument such as electric guitar or the saxophone, require the child to be ideally 8 or 9 years old to be able to handle the weight of the musical instrument.
Ideally you should start off with minimum 45 minutes of music lessons. This allows the music teacher to have enough time to cover theory as well as practical aspects of handling the musical instrument. As for young children, the attention span is shorter hence you can consider starting with 30 minute lessons.
There are many factors involved in deciding which music school you wish to enrol in. Some of the important factors are: distance to your home or your work place, the credentials and experience of the music teacher who coaches at that particular music school, and so on.
