My name is Reeves Wong and I am a full time Pianist/Keyboardist and Piano/Keyboard Instructor.

I used to be like a lot of the piano students out there. Practicing and playing the piano for the sake of a cert. Never even once knowing or understanding what I was playing and why I was playing it in that way.

Deep in my heart, I have passion for contemporary music. If you do not understand what does it means, it basically means everything else other than Classical. After I completed my training with my previous teacher, I went on to teach classical music at a music school. Basically the same old cycle of 3 songs a year for the sake of passing the examination.

I didn't like it. In fact, I was sad when some of my students didn't want to come to my class. There was this once time when I have this student who was constantly asking me to teach her a song by Jay Chou and I had to reject her because her exam was coming in two weeks time. She eventually quit after the examination.

I decided that I HAVE to do something about it. And therefore, I decided to do deep research on how music works, studied contemporary theory extensively and spent many many hours on the piano.

I now have taught over a hundreds of students and I'm enjoying my work everyday. Teaching and performing has become so much fun! I have huge confidence that my teaching method would help you.

What is contemporary music?

Contemporary piano/keyboard lessons

Contemporary, is a big genre and comprises of many genres. To some people, music is simply "pop and classical". Alot of students, when i first got into a discussion with them would have the idea that other than classical, all the other genres are "pop". But little that they know there are many other genres of music around. Blues, Bossa Nova, Rock, Ballads etc. Other than Classical, I have spend my life researching and learning other genres of music to make myself and more all rounded pianist. And also, the ability to be a more complete teachers for my students, hoping that i could pass my knowledge on and spread the idea of "fun music playing". Some music teachers, unfortunately teaches pop in a "classical way" which is, to read off straight from the score. This is TOTALLY not the way pop pianist play and often leads to the death of interest of pop music students. My way of teaching pop includes, improvisation, technique, ear-training, pop music theory, sight-reading(optional in this genre), song writing, rhythm training, different genres.

Testimonials

Jacqueline Tan

Reeves had been a helpful and patient teacher. He explores the strength and weaknesses of his student and tried to make every lessons enjoyable. Being flexible with his time and that made a student like me which needs to work and is still pursuing my studies being able to enjoy the luxury of having lessons at my own pace. Other then piano lessons, Reeves helped me with song writing previously too. Having piano since the age of 4, i had never met any teacher that can make his lessons fun and less brain draining, so thank you Reeves for letting me know that piano is not that dry and hard to cope with. Overall, he is a great teacher and will always try his best to help his students within his means.

Very often u hear pple saying, learning is a life long journey and it never ends. The truth is as you grow older the acceptance rate starts to decrease. For me learning a new skill now as a adult seems more difficult then a kid. The day I have made my decision and decided to give him a call, I knew the decision was a right one. For the past months, every lesson was enjoyable. It's no longer about just learning to play the keyboard or the music. During each lesson I have learned about exploring my passion, sharing life experiences, receiving words of encouragement and many more. Just want to say: Thank you ReeVes Wong, for been a teacher, a friend, a brother, someone that provides multiple positions in my life. Your lessons are truly unique, enjoyable and practical.Aaron

My 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son have been learning to play the piano under ReeVes Wong, and I've seen my kids excelling in the instrument. My daughter in particular, has made leaps in progress in her sight-reading and is competent enough to learn a new piece by playing the chords and melody confidently by herself, with Reeves helping her out with the rhythms and nuances so that her playing is more polished. She's feeling very motivated by her success at playing the piano, and this is in part due to Reeves' coaching. It has got to a point where I do not often need to remind her to practise her music, because she's able to play more complex pieces on her own. Reeves is an exceptional teacher, and his feedback to me about the children's lessons are detailed and his professionalism in music shines through. Unlike music teachers who solely teach the instrument, Reeves' musicianship from his regular live performances is an added benefit for his teaching, as he also teaches from his stage experience.

I have just started piano lessons two months ago and it's through a friend who recommended him to me. Reeve is a patient teacher who is flexible with his timings. This helps a lot as I am studying and working at the same time. He makes learning easy and fun. He caters to what you are interested in learning and makes sure you understands what you are learning rather than just memorizing. I will definitely recommend him to others!

I met ReeVes Wong a few years back when we were friend working part time together. About a year ago, I was looking for a piano teacher to teach me how to play the piano. I soon realized that Reeves had become a piano teacher and immediately contacted him to teach me how to play the piano. Reeves is a patient and a dedicated teacher. He taught me the basic of music theory and corrects my playing techniques whenever I make a mistake when I am playing the piano. As a working adult, I sometime have to make changes to the lesson schedule. Reeves is pretty flexible when it comes to such matter. As a result, I have to progressed from a complete beginner in music to someone who is able play some of his favorite songs on the piano. I really enjoyed learning how to play the piano from Reeves and hope to become an accomplished pianist one day. I highly recommend Reeves as a piano teacher whether you are a complete beginner in music or someone who wants to rediscover your love for piano again!

Hi Reeves, testimonial for you

Reeves had been my 10-year old girl's piano teacher for more than 2 years now. An unconventional & innovative teacher with a true love for music. My girl gets inspired from watching Reeves' 'live' piano performance, he teaches with his heart & builds very good rapport with my girl, which is especially important when trying to impart his music knowledge & playing technique to a young child, who's easily distracted. His patience & warm, friendly & approachable demeanor work well with children. My girl progresses well under Reeves' kind guidance & good teaching & looks forward to his lesson every week. Something very special & noteworthy about Reeves: he loves music, he loves teaching music & he tries his very best to inculcate that true love in music in his students ️
