MK Sounds Heavenly Music Academy, Mont Kiara started off by providing professional private music lessons to children and adults in the comfort of a home setting in Sungai Long (named Sounds of Heaven Music Academy). Unlike traditional home studios, the learning environment here is pristine. It is clean, cozy and spacious. There are dedicated rooms for individual or group classes, as well as specially designed seating areas and an instrument display fixture. The Academy has then expanded to include a new location, bringing coaching and performance experiences to the community in Mont Kiara.
Meet Ms. Wong, the principal. She has a Master of Music and over a decade of experience working with students of all abilities, including those with special needs. She makes Sounds of Heaven Music Academy unique with her personalised approach to learning music. She goes to the effort of understanding each student’s needs, then tailors lessons accordingly and helps students reach their musical goals. Regardless of whether students are working towards a professional music career or playing for pleasure, Ms. Wong is devoted to give them the guidance they need to get there. Her passion in teaching and success are reflected in her students’ results, achievements and awards, as well as recurring word-of-mouth recommendations. Together with the team of highly qualified teachers at Mont Kiara, their expertise leads to many shared tools to make playing music easier and more enjoyable for every student.
The Academy offers Piano, Violin, Viola, Guitar, Ukulele, Flute, Trumpet, Oboe, Saxophone, Cello, Double Bass, Vocal and Early Childhood Music lessons for young beginners to advanced instrumentalists. As with all other skills, they should be cultivated at a young age. The Early Childhood Music programme is a good music foundation for children starting from 6 months up to 4 years of age. It builds on children’s early development through a wide variety of musical, sensorial, art and interactive activities, which then paves the way for smooth advancement into formal music education.
Each student is matched to a teacher with a teaching style that suits the child in order to retain his or her interest in music. In between lessons, teachers encourage good practice habits through their Practice Programme. Students will receive guidance and timely feedback either online or face-to-face. This structured routine helps students make sufficient progress to ensure they are prepared for examinations and public performances.
Here, students don’t just learn to play music, they also pick up the theory behind it and play live in front of an audience. There is a strong emphasis in offering students plenty of performance opportunities at public and professional venues. Students regularly perform solo and with ensembles in concerts at least every 3 months. For the musically gifted ones, Ms. Wong will further support them to grow their talents and participate in competitions, locally or abroad. They will also have the chance to attend music master classes guided by a professor. All these performance opportunities are good learning platforms for students to build their confidence and playing ability, ones that they may not get elsewhere. The Academy has a proven track record of competition winners and outstanding examination achievers.
MK Sounds Heavenly Music Academy programmes are also available in various international schools including Stella Maris International School, Edenbridge Learning Centre, KPJ and Genesis Education Center. And for those who are aspiring to be music teachers, the comprehensive Diploma in Music Teaching programme will equip you with relevant modules to build a sound foundation in both music teaching skills and musicianship. Recently, the Academy was appointed as the official Malaysian representative of the International Music and Arts Association (IMAA) and will be responsible for upcoming examination registrations and candidate trainings.
Parents can trust that children will get high quality, personal one-on-one instruction at MK Sounds Heavenly Music Academy. Being owned and operated by musicians and instructors who are dedicated to their profession, and most importantly, to their students, your child’s musical journey here is bound to be a positive one.
