About Our teachers

“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Mr. Wee Wong, who has been instructing both of my children in violin. Throughout their lessons, I have been thoroughly impressed by Mr. Wong’s exceptional skill in adapting his teaching approach to meet the distinct needs and learning styles of each of my sons.

For my younger son, who is at a very early stage, Mr. Wong has adopted a playful and engaging method to foster his interest and enjoyment in learning the violin. This approach has proven highly effective in nurturing his love for music from an early age.

With my older son, who is seven, Mr. Wong has skillfully balanced the development of a strong technical foundation with the preservation of his passion for playing. In only a few months under Mr. Wong’s guidance, he successfully undertook the AMEB examination and achieved an impressive A+ grade. What stands out even more is his enjoyment of the learning process, free from any sense of pressure or overwhelm. Mr. Wong’s supportive and considerate teaching style has cultivated in him a genuine love for the violin.

I highly recommend Mr. Wong to anyone seeking a skilled, caring, and dedicated violin instructor. His remarkable ability to tailor his teaching to the unique needs of each student is evident, and the progress my children have made is a testament to his expertise."

“I highly recommend Mr Wong as a viola teacher. I started as an adult beginner viola player 1 year ago and always look forward to my lessons on Zoom. Mr Wong lets me work at my own pace and always provides useful constructive feedback about my technique in a way that leaves me feeling good about my playing. Mr Wong’s kind but detailed approach is exactly what I am after. I just wish we lived close together so we could have face to face lessons!"

I am writing to provide an enthusiastic recommendation for Mr. Wong as a violin teacher based on my son James's remarkable experience under his guidance.

Not only does Mr. Wong focus on teaching violin techniques, but he also motivates his students to embrace challenges, enabling them to grow both musically and personally. As a result, my son has become more resilient and committed to his daily practice sessions.

One aspect that sets Mr. Wong apart is his exceptional patience and attentiveness to parents' concerns. He promptly provides feedback after each lesson, allowing parents to actively collaborate with him to support their child's progress. This level of dedication and communication has been invaluable in James's musical journey.

"I am pleased to provide a comprehensive overview of Mr. Wong's exceptional qualities and contributions based on our extensive collaboration. As a former colleague and fellow musician, I have witnessed firsthand Mr. Wong's unwavering commitment to delivering a delightful and enriching musical education experience to his students.

During our tenure in the Ministry of Education Youth Orchestra in the 1980s, Mr. Wong's remarkable violin skills and leadership abilities were evident as he served as the assistant concertmaster, leaving a lasting impression.

In the early 2000s, we had the privilege of teaching together at a private music school where Mr. Wong consistently exhibited diligence and excellence as a violin teacher. His students achieved outstanding results in their ABRSM examinations, a testament to his effective instructional methods.

From 2011 to 2013, our paths converged once again as we collaborated at Nan Chiau High School and North Vista Secondary School in Singapore. As a conductor and instructor, I had the pleasure of working alongside Mr. Wong, witnessing his dedicated focus on the violin and viola sections. Our partnership led to numerous successful concert performances and competition achievements, establishing a positive and harmonious working relationship.

Mr. Wong's meticulous guidance as an educator not only cultivates beginners into proficient performers but also fosters their technical and emotional growth. His ability to inspire students' enthusiasm for learning and commitment to their development is evident in his approach. He possesses a deep understanding of students' psychological behaviors, allowing him to create a well-balanced teaching schedule that accommodates individual learning cycles, ensuring optimal progress without overwhelming or complacency. This sensitivity to each student's character is truly commendable.

Creating a pleasant and harmonious learning environment is another strength of Mr. Wong. Through his guidance, students forge meaningful friendships and develop a profound passion for music, representing the pinnacle of a music teacher's achievements.

As a string ensemble instructor, Mr. Wong excels at fostering teamwork and emphasizing the significance of collective performance. By emphasizing the relationship between teamwork and individuality, he enhances the overall musical experience and deepens students' understanding of collaborative dynamics.

Under Mr. Wong's rigorous training, students consistently meet the highest musical standards in areas such as pitch, rhythm, expression, bowing, and articulation. His commitment to maintaining these standards enables students to master these elements, achieving clarity, harmony, accuracy, and balance within the ensemble, thus elevating the overall performance level. Furthermore, Mr. Wong's diverse perspectives on musical phrasing and mood enrich our communication and provide students with invaluable insights, greatly contributing to our successful collaboration within the school environment.

Additionally, Mr. Wong's contributions extend beyond the classroom. He offers valuable comments and opinions that positively impact the ensemble's operation, management, and administration. His expertise in areas such as stage presence, musical scores, instruments, and logistics greatly contributes to smooth rehearsals and performances.

In conclusion, I am confident that future students of string ensembles will flourish under Mr. Wong's guidance, achieving remarkable musical accomplishments and gaining invaluable experiences in teamwork that will resonate throughout their lives. Mr. Wong's exceptional qualities as an educator and musician make him an invaluable asset to any educational institution or music program."

I am delighted to share my heartfelt appreciation for Mr. Wong's exceptional guidance in nurturing my daughter Bianca's musical journey with the violin over the past approximately 2.5 years. When Bianca began her lessons, she was performing at a grade 3-4 level but lacked the confidence and formal assessment that comes with it. Mr. Wong's mentorship has been truly transformative, boosting her skill level, self-assurance, and overall musicality.

Through his expert coaching, Mr. Wong has meticulously refined Bianca's fingering and bowing techniques, instilling in her the fundamentals of proper positioning, intonation, and clarity. What truly sets him apart is his patient and supportive approach. Mr. Wong always takes the time to revisit and ensure complete comprehension, even when tackling more advanced techniques like bowing. His positive reinforcement and constructive feedback have continuously motivated Bianca, guiding her towards targeted areas of practice that yield remarkable results.

One aspect that stands out is Mr. Wong's innovative use of video practice submissions prior to significant events such as AMEB grading and Eisteddfod performances. This personalized feedback mechanism not only elevates Bianca's practice regimen but also provides invaluable support and encouragement. His approachability for questions and his gentle, friendly teaching style have made the learning experience not only educational but also enjoyable.

The transformation in Bianca's violin journey under Mr. Wong's tutelage is truly remarkable. Her frustration has been replaced by a newfound joy in playing, fueled by the progress she has achieved and the exquisite quality of music she can now produce. I am thrilled to share that Bianca recently achieved an outstanding AMEB grading and secured the coveted 1st position in her Eisteddfod performance.

Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Wong to anyone seeking extraordinary violin instruction. His profound technical knowledge, coupled with his ability to impart it with inspiration, makes him an invaluable mentor. It is thanks to Mr. Wong's guidance that my daughter's passion for the violin has flourished, and her musical journey has taken a triumphant leap forward.

Warm regards,
