Students at JKPA attend Group Music
Theory classes, taking the ABRSM Grades 6,7 and 8 examinations. The coverage is most comprehensive: harmony, counterpoint, melodic composition,
aural perception, music history, knowledge of musical forms and terms and composers. The approach combines individual attention
for each student in tutorial style and capitalizes on group dynamics when
facilitating discussions. Students
develop interests and achieve outstanding results through clear understanding
of concepts, learning in a multimedia setting and engaging in work. Many students at JKPA are top scorers and
music prize awardees in MEP schools namely in RGS, RI, ACSI, MGS, NYGH,

music examinations. We offer the best
theory courses in Singapore, taught solely by the music author of the Practice
in Music Theory series, and several other books - Ms Josephine Koh.
