Manning Music Centre Pte Ltd

Manning Music Centre has been teaching and inspiring musicians of all ages in Tampines since 1985. Our current owner, Gideon Lo, grew up next door to the founder, and watching his sister become one of Manning’s first students sparked his own love for music. Today he carries the founder’s dream forward. We are a music school and instrument shop at Block 201D Tampines St 21 #02-1145, Singapore 524201.

Our message is simple: you can learn to play an instrument in 8 weeks, with no prior experience needed. Our teachers are dedicated, patient and professional. Many of our students have grown from young learners into accomplished musicians and respected music teachers, and the friendships formed at the centre have lasted for years.
