Desmond started his learning journey at Hark Music since 2014.
In just 2 months after he had lessons with us, he said,
“Hark has a concise learning structure that simplified whatever you need to know about music.
I see progress in both my guitar and vocal with just 2 months of trainings.
It’s almost like unlocking levels, one after another on candy crush. Fun and addictive!”
Since then, he started to perform professionally and received numerous music engagements that helped in his career!
We believe in setting the system, syllabus and tools to guide students to get to their musical goals in the shortest time possible. Since 1999, we have never stopped improving our syllabus. We never use published books, ‘music boards’ to teach our students. Instead we create our own syllabus, learning materials and proven techniques, all in the principle to simplify the complexities, for people who want to learn for leisure, enjoyment and performances.
Some schools operate like a ‘tuition centre’ where they will hire any teachers and teachers will teach using their own way using song-by-song basis.
However in Hark Music School, we strongly believe in teamwork and alignment where all our coaches will follow the same set of principles and syllabus to facilitate the learning journey of our learners.
We only want to focus on these 3 instruments, because we strongly believe everyone should have a basic level of play-and-sing for personal enjoyment.
Piano and Guitar are the popular instruments that can create multiple notes at one time, creating harmony.Voice instrument is something we use everyday (speech!) therefore we should know the proper techniques to reduce voice fatigue and abuse.
What better way to learn, via singing which is so much more enjoyable than going for speech lessons. 🙂
At the same time, you will learn proper breathing, articulation, voice tone and projection, which are really essential for our wellness.
We do not conduct formal examinations for our students nor send our students for academic examinations for music boards.
We coach you according to our uniquely-developed syllabus developed & researched for the past decades. It has proved to be highly effective to let you enjoy and experience music in the shortest time possible.
Instead of focusing on academic examinations, we focus on practical performances to ensure you can perform the instruments according to your level. There will be coach evaluations to ensure proper grasp of the concept learnt in each level.
We also organise beyond classroom events such as OpenStage, Voice of Hark, studio experience sessions, etc to spice up your learning journey at Hark.
Majority of our students are teens and adults. Our Small-Group Classes are suited for those aged 18yo to 49 yo. For Juniors and Seniors, we will highly recommend Private Coaching as coaches will be able to cater to their learning dynamics better.
We do not collect any deposit.Fees are paid on a monthly basis therefore there is no commitment period you have to adhere to.You may choose to stop at any point of time and resume when you are ready. 🙂
If you are a leisure learner with no specific learning objectives, joining Small-Group classes is good as peer interaction makes learning fun.
If you have specific learning objectives and wishes to have more flexibility in lesson scheduling (e.g. cancellation, rescheduling), Private Coaching will work great for you!
We always ensure that every student can progress well with the class. If your classmates’ and your learning pace do not match, we will arrange you to join another class of a similar pace or suggest other solutions on a case-by-case basis.
If you have prior learning experience in other music schools or are self-taught, we will assess your level via a trial class to determine the appropriate level to help you advance further in a group class.
The average age group of our current students is mid-20 to 30s (Youngest: 13 yrs; Most Elderly: 55yrs). For the last 20 years, our teaching approach has been proven to be acceptable by both teenagers and adults.
With the Covid Safe-Measures, we encourage you to bring your own *guitar for hygiene. For keyboards, sanitising sprays and wipes are available for you to use before and after use.
* If you don’t have a guitar or it’s in-convenient to bring yours, you can use our studio guitars too. Sanitisers will be available for use.
Students have the freedom to choose any pop songs they like. Most of our students prefer songs ranging from English Pop and Mandarin Pop. We are a pop music school, therefore our specialisation is in pop genres.
Course fee is payable on a monthly basis, for 4 lessons. Lessons that are cancelled due to Public Holidays or other matters will be replaced subsequently.

Our music school is open everyday and is only closed on Public Holidays.
For lessons that fall on Public Holidays, we will reschedule them to another day. Don’t worry, if no rescheduled lesson can be arranged, the lesson will not be accounted for.
