TESTIMONIALS

STUDENTS SAY

I was looking around for a good ukulele teacher for my children, and connected with Stradivari Strings. Rita linked me up with teacher Deomar for ukulele lessons for my son. My son is young and it takes him a long time to focus. Deomar has ... done a brilliant job helping my son learn simple chords and engaging him during the ukulele classes. He also absolutely loves Deomar’s approach to teaching. Aside from that we also bought a really good violin from the shop. Thank you for everything Rita.

My mother started ukulele lessons with teacher Deomar. Ukulele teacher Deomar is very professional. He notes your strengths and tailors his ukulele classes to enhance them, thereby keeping you motivated and engaged. He is very patient and e... ven if you have not practiced, he encourages you and goes through the lessons in a pace that suits you. If the lessons are not completed, he does not strictly keep to the time limit and extends the time where necessary. He also gives my mother music scores according to her music tastes, which makes the ukulele lesson much more engaging and motivating for her. It gives my mother great satisfaction when she is able to complete a piece that she likes. All in all, highly recommended for ukulele students who want to learn leisurely and at their own pace.

Our guitar teacher is very patient with us, as we had no music background prior to learning the guitar. We always look forward to having lessons with him each week.

Terry Sia

Student

My electric guitar teacher constantly provides interesting material from different genres of music so there is always something new to learn every week. There is also a strong emphasis on tailoring lessons based on the student’s individual ... taste in music.
Chua Zhong Hoe

Student

Calvin is a dedicated and passionate guitar teacher who encourages his students to go beyond simply just memorising and practicing. He seeks to ensure that I understand the theories behind chords, its progressions, and guitar scales; so tha... t I will be able to better appreciate them and the practices thereafter would become easier. He also encourages me not to just stop there but to use what I have learnt to create my own songs. Calvin is extremely patient and always accommodates my requests of revising theories that he may have already gone through. He also curates his lessons for his students to suit their interests and skills. For example, in a lesson about chord progressions and song keys he got me to pick a song of my choice and we transcribed it together on the spot. Not only did I have a lot fun doing so, but I also learned something in the process. Calvin has definitely helped improved my playing and has boosted my confidence as a guitarist.

  • Is electric guitar easy to learn during classes?

    In some ways it is easier to learn on the electric guitar as it may have lighter gauge strings as compared to the acoustic guitar which makes it easier to pick and finger the strings. The body and neck of the electric guitar is also smaller as compared to the acoustic guitar. Do note that as long as you have a strong interest in any musical instrument, you will find it easy to learn that musical instrument.

  • Can I learn to play electric guitar first, instead of starting acoustic guitar lessons?

    Sure of course you can. There is no fixed rule which states that you need to progress from acoustic guitar or classical guitar background in order to be good at electric guitar. If you like the genre of rock or metal, do proceed with electric guitar classes first.

  • How long does it take to learn the electric guitar?

    You should plan around two years for electric guitar lessons. In this time frame, you would have mastered many chord formations as well as strumming patterns to play a big selection of rock and pop songs.

  • Can I teach myself the electric guitar without lessons?

    It is possible to self learn the electric guitar without a guitar teacher, if you have some foundation in the acoustic or classical guitar. However there will be up to a point where you plateau and cannot progress much further in your playing techniques. In this case, you can contact Stradivari Strings at +65-98137769 and we can put you in touch with one of our senior level teachers accordingly.

  • Will electric guitar work without electricity during lessons?

    Yes you can play on the electric guitar without switching on the amplifier. The sound projection will be soft though, so you may feel that there is no wow factor when you learn to play the techniques during your electric guitar classes.

  • For home lessons, should I prepare 2 sets of amplifier and the electric guitar?

    If you wish for your electric guitar coach to go to your place for lessons, you can prepare 2 sets of amplifier and electric guitar. One set for you and the other for your guitar teacher. If you wish for your teacher to bring his acoustic guitar over for lessons, that can be discussed. You may need to fund his transport accordingly if he needs to carry several guitars (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, ukulele) around to coach students throughout the whole day.
