Excellence is Our Mission

Josephine Koh Piano Academy (JKPA)  is a premier school for piano and theory lessons located at Binjai Park, in the Bukit Timah district of Singapore. Established since 1995, the artistic culture in JKPA emphasizes holistic development. It is our mission to ensure that all our students are developed into academically and artistically well-balanced individuals. Through the years, we take pride in developing students into confident pianists with wonderful stage presence and personalities.  Beyond excellence in music, many of our piano diploma graduates have become outstanding individuals in society, enriched by the disciplined study music, of which they continue to carry a long way into their adult and professional lives. ​

Our Aims & Goals

  • ​Our trained piano teachers are performance based with high academic standing.  As such our focus is to provide students with the best possible mental training and opportunities to develop their talents in music. 
  • All students are taught to strive to excel both in music theory and in piano performance.​
  • Graduates from our programmes would be proficient to engage in discussions on topics including harmony, counterpoint, musical history, composers and their works.
  • Our piano lessons and unique course programmes serve to impart the right values to nurture the young.
  • Our students are groomed to have aspirations, growing into responsible young adults, most of whom excel in the fields of medicine, law, music, engineering and education. 

The JKPA Method

  • Our Gifted Music Programme is performance focused and examination oriented, based on the ABRSM syllabi.
  • Evaluation of students' progress is made through series of performance classes, masterclasses and close working relationship between teachers and parents.
  • All students are strongly encouraged to participate in concerts, masterclasses and competitions.
  • Our model is unique in Singapore, developed and refined for almost 30 years, based on the ideologies and training methods used in top European conservatories.  Our standards and  expectations are high, yet caring and nurturing for all students.
