Client Testimonial

I took Beginner one-to-one lessons with Alan from Jan-Apr 2017.

Coming from a non-musical background, I started off my guitar journey without much confidence and depended greatly on reassurances that I was progressing fine. There were times when I was slow to learn and I let off small steam of frustration, yet Alan was very patient in guiding me again step-by-step, troubleshooting my mistakes, encouraging me to press on and gently reminding me that there was no need to make guitar-learning a stressful/rushed thing!

All in all, I am very pleased that I have gained a new skill and found an awesome teacher in Alan! The lesson atmosphere is light, the lessons are suited to your individual pace/schedule and you can choose the songs that you would like to learn (what more can you ask for?! :p) Would definitely recommend others to learn under Alan!

Client Testimonial

I am a 58 year old man who have learnt the violin for 8 or 9 years. I want to go to the 8th grade this year and hope to do it. Finding a teacher to learn the violin is an important matter for me. Not only is a teacher good in technique, patience, punctuality, but most importantly, to have good character, be gentle, speak the facts, and find a way to overcome the weaknesses of their students. Last October, I found a teacher at Music Delight  School.

After a few lessons, I realised that he was the teacher I was looking for. I am learning with more confidence and joy now. Thank you so much. I want to thank them for their time and dedicated teaching. Of course, one’s own efforts is also important.

My son has a very funny teacher and he has a very good time in this school. he can play guitar and listen to the teachers jokes and thanks to the teacher, he is doing very well in his guitar.

Client Testimonial

I had gone through two group guitar courses but both weren’t able to sustain my interest. After taking lessons with Sheng Li, I found him to be immensely talented in his guitar skills but at the same time, he would be able to craft and deliver his lessons according to my pace and interests. Throw him your favorite song, he will figure out the chords and teach you in the very same day or next session.
