Over nearly thirty eventful years, Allegro Music & Arts has expanded to include a sister branch, called Allegro Music Kiara, in the diverse community of Solaris Mont Kiara. It is dedicated to providing specialist musical training that propels its students into musicians who are fully equipped for exciting futures, both on and off stage.
Here, students get to enjoy the intimacy of a slightly smaller centre, compared to the branch in Ampang, but with equally impressive resources of a junior music department for specialist education. The interiors are designed to meet the needs of all learners with stellar facilities that are second to none. There are spaces for learning, practice and performance, all equipped with well-maintained instruments and materials.
At Allegro Music Kiara, we are united by a common passion for music. We are driven by a collective ambition to create a world-class teaching and learning environment that nurtures individual creative growth. -- Esther Law, Founder and Principal of Allegro Music & Arts
