Phnom Penh Strings Academy offers home lessons for your child, allowing you to save time and money by not commuting to music school. Making the choice to start music lessons is exciting but can also be intimidating. Finding a highly competent and consistent music teacher who is also a good match for your child is not easy.
Every teacher entering your child’s life, in music as in the academic environment more generally, is a role model who helps shape the person they become – this is something we take very seriously, which is why we are highly selective in choosing our teachers.
We are here to help our students develop a new passion, become more self-confident, and ultimately succeed in music and in life. Learning a new instrument can be the start of a lifelong passion that your child can share with others for years to come.
Through personal triumphs and challenges, having music as an outlet is something we consider invaluable. To help your child achieve these goals, we want to involve you in the learning process.
