Find out what makes our school unique and why you should give us a try.

Every student is different and we pride ourselves on being able to tailor lessons to fit the needs and goals of each and every one. Other music schools in Hong Kong tend to focus solely on coaching students through grade exams, with some even insisting on it to join the school. We believe that, if a teacher is doing their job correctly then students should be able to pass an appropriate level grade exam - if they choose to - without it taking months of specific preparation. Our goal is to teach you the skills and techniques you need to understand music and play confidently. You can then decide which styles or genres you want to explore in more detail.

All our students are given the opportunity to perform every month at one of Hong Kong’s best live music venues - The Wanch. There are no auditions and no fees for students to join one of these performances. All students are encouraged to join but no-one is forced or pressured to do so. Being able to ‘practice’ performing regularly helps build students’ skills, motivates them to learn and builds confidence, not only in music but in daily life too.

When you have a private drum lesson at Aspire you will be playing your own, ‘real’ (acoustic) drum kit for the whole lesson. You will not be sharing a kit with the teacher or another student, and you will not be learning on an electric drum kit. In group lessons we use a combination of electric and acoustic drum kits and the students rotate between them from week to week so they become familiar with both.

Aspire students are encouraged to choose their own repertoire of favourite songs or songs they’d love to be able to play. Our teachers then plan lessons with these songs in mind, tailoring specific exercises and teaching the techniques required to successfully play them. Where songs are too high a level for the student, our teachers will either simplify and then build the song slowly or suggest a ‘learning ladder’ of similar songs building the student’s skills before tackling the goal song.

Sing pain free with no breaks or sudden changes throughout your range and enjoy singing with dynamics, range and expression. Find your natural, unique voice with clarity and presence and gain the control and flexibility to sustain and sing with agility.

Our teaching method has been used by singing greats including: Stevie Wonder, Micheal Jackson, Kelly Clarkson and Adam Lambert to name but a few.

Many vocal teachers seem to focus a lot of lesson time on learning to breathe “properly”. At Aspire we teach you more than just breathing, we learn how to make the correct vocal cord adjustments in order to blend your low, middle and high registers.

Some people do seem to pick things up faster than others or have a more natural talent but it doesn’t mean you can’t learn to become a better singer. Through carefully planned and targeted exercises, we build and discover every part of your voice. You’ll be singing with more confidence in no time!

Learning how to 'mix' your voice is the most essential part of singing! In you lessons at Aspire you’ll learn to blend your lower and upper range to create a mix voice, giving your middle range the power of your lower register with the lightness and freedom of your upper range.
