About
Manning Music Centre, established in 1985 as Tampines' first music school and retail store, focuses on the joy of music-making rather than just grades or competitions. Owned by Gideon Lo, who grew up next door to the founder and was inspired by his sister's lessons, the centre fosters lifelong friendships and musical passions across generations. They offer personalized lessons in piano, guitar, drums, strings, ukulele, and other instruments for beginners to advanced students, including at community clubs islandwide. Lessons emphasize stress-free learning, tailored pacing, supportive teachers, and building confidence with extra help as needed. Many alumni have become accomplished musicians and teachers, highlighting the centre's community bonds and heart-centered approach. Beyond lessons, they sell musical instruments and create a family-like environment where music flows from one generation to the next.
