Established in 2018, Tone Color Academy was the first, if not the only private academy in Equine Park to date that offers a variety of performing arts classes - all under one roof. Conveniently situated in the Zeva Boulevard development in Seri Kembangan, Tone Color Academy offers music, arts and crafts, speech and drama and dance classes for preschoolers aged 4 - 6, teens and young adults aged 13 and above.
As a music graduate, I've been a freelancer for so many years, travelling and teaching music in many areas in the city. Throughout my years as a freelance music teacher, I had the opportunity to get to know other freelancers travelling and teaching other forms of creative activity in other areas. I've learnt that most of us share the same passion for what we do. And that was when the idea came to me; to open a one-stop performing arts centre and teach all things arts.explained Ms Chris Lai, one of two directors of Tone Color Academy apart from Ms Tako
Tone Color Academy believes in preserving arts and culture for posterity and in understanding that life itself is essentially what constitutes art. Recognising this, the academy aims to make the learning of various branches of creative activity more accessible and affordable; and to ensure that parents are aware that apart from science-based subjects, art classes are also able to help kids learn and develop important characteristics that they will need as adults.
Instructors at Tone Color Academy are highly qualified and hold a minimum of two years' working experience. They were hired primarily based on a combination of their reputation and accomplishments as a teacher, formal academic credentials and teaching experience. While solid qualification is needed, the directors also stress the importance of being versatile; in which the academy prefers an instructor that teaches with love - one that can excel in a whole range of subjects; and is able to take leadership in a variety of educational contexts.

The directors ensure that both their instructors and students feel "at home" at the academy, not an alienated place to spend their day. They believe that when both feel "at home," they tend to be more engaged; take learning and teaching into their own hands, and feel a sense of agency and pride in their work.
Tone Color Academy features modern and spacious facilities that can accommodate private instruction as well as group and ensemble training. Studios and performance hall at the academy have been designed in consultation with numerous educators and experienced musicians and instructors to provide a truly exceptional learning environment for their students.
