Our Music Studio
5.0★★★★★241 Google reviews
Our Music Studio in Tanglin Mall runs as a music and movement enrichment centre built around building musical foundations in young children, from babies as young as four months through to age six. The reviews here focus on its parent-and-child classes rather than dedicated one-on-one guitar instruction, so it's a general early-music program rather than a guitar specialist.
What people praise
- Perfect 5.0 rating with zero negative reviews in the sample
- Teachers, especially one instructor named Huzzy, singled out repeatedly for warmth
- Spacious, welcoming studio described by multiple parents
- Responsive front-desk and WhatsApp support called out
Worth knowing

Our take: The top-rated school on this list on paper, but be clear on what you're signing up for, this reads as an early-childhood music program first. Worth calling ahead to confirm guitar-specific lesson availability for older kids.

Claim this spot › How we rank them
The scorecard runs on live Google data only. Rating is the current Google average for each school. Volume measures how many customers left a review, ranked against every other music school in the pool. Confidence weighs that rating by how many reviews back it, so a 4.9 across hundreds of reviews outranks the same score on a much smaller base. Recency tracks how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.
How much do guitar lessons cost in Singapore? (2026)
Pricing depends heavily on lesson format, group versus one-on-one, the student’s level, and whether the school provides a loaner instrument. We don’t have a trustworthy, cited price list to publish here, so ask each school directly for their current package rates and any trial-lesson pricing.
Where to find them across Singapore
These schools cluster around the Central and North-East regions, Cristofori’s two branches sit in Bishan and Toa Payoh, Aureus runs studios at Ang Mo Kio and Thomson Plaza, and Our Music Studio is based in Tanglin Mall near Orchard. If you’re searching for guitar lessons near me from the Bishan, Toa Payoh or Thomson areas, most of this list is within a short MRT ride.
What to ask before you sign up
- Are lessons one-on-one or group, and can I try one before committing?
- Does the school provide a loaner guitar, or do I need my own?
- What happens if my regular teacher leaves or changes?
- Is there a minimum package length, and what’s the cancellation policy?
- Do students get a chance to perform, such as a recital or showcase?
- What age groups and skill levels does the teacher specialize in?
Frequently asked questions
Which guitar school in Singapore has the best rating?
Our Music Studio holds a perfect 5.0 rating, though on a smaller review base than Cristofori’s Bishan branch, which sits at 4.9 across the deepest review count on this list.
Which school has the most reviews?
Cristofori Music School at Bishan Junction 8 has by far the largest public review base of any school here, at 652 reviews, and it also sells and services guitars in-store.
Are these rankings paid?
No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.
How did you choose these five?
We compared music schools in Singapore with a real Google track record for guitar and general instrument instruction, then ranked them by rating, review volume, confidence and how recently people are still reviewing.
How often is this list updated?
The ratings and review counts here were verified in July 2026. We refresh the data as Google reviews change, so positions can shift over time.
The bottom line
Cristofori’s Bishan branch is the safe default, a large, well-reviewed school that also sells and repairs the instrument itself. If you’re enrolling a young child and want a structured, multi-year track, either Aureus branch is a solid, well-established alternative.
