DEDICATED STAFF MEMBERS
All teachers at JKPA are trained for many years and continually in the unique JKPA teaching methodology. Selected by Ms Josephine Koh, a minimum qualification of a diploma or a degree in music is required. Experienced teachers work hand-in-hand with young talented teaching assistants. Most often, performing pianists are trained personally by the principal herself. Our quality of teaching is never compromised, with maintenance of standards often supported by committed parents who work closely with our staff members. Year after year, excellent results are our hallmark and pride at JKPA.
Miss Chua is an experienced and senior educator at JKPA who specializes in teaching advanced grades and first level Diploma students.
