PLAY BY EAR music school is the largest 2-storey Contemporary Piano Music College in
Singapore that provides specialised music education in piano Improvisation. We offer only
Pop Piano & Jazz Piano courses for adults in our school, and nothing else. We also sell
Digital Pianos and Pop&Jazz piano books/DVDs, and that's about it.
We are different because of the content we teach. We understand teaching and playing are
two separate things, especially when it comes to contemporary music playing. Students from
all walks of life with no musical background or even Classical Music grade 8 to diplomas and
degrees have come to learn from us. Our students range from casual music enthusiasts to
music teachers and even accomplished musicians. Our vision is to impart the concepts of
improvisation with an in-depth, proven teaching methodology developed over 8 years -
P.B.E.S. We love teaching. Its the passion that has driven us all these years to master the
art of teaching music improvisation. We love to be challenged.

Are you driving here?
There are several carparks around, however there isn't a 'proper' public
carpark in Bugis Village itself! The four main sheltered carparks are in Fu
Lu Shou, Bugis Parco Junction, Iuma and Raffles Hospital. Rochor Center
offers the cheapest parking rate without ERP, however the waiting time can
be very long. Raffles Hospital will be ideal if you need to escape from the
ERP. Fu Lu Shou will be the nearest carpark to Bugis Village, but do avoid
if you are coming on weekends in the afternoon after 12pm. Mid Link Plaza
will guarantee a parking space during the weekends but charges $4 per
entry. If you require valet parking, you may choose to park at
Intercontinental hotel charging aboutt $8 per hr. Bugis Parco Junction has
2 entrances to carpark, beware of one (next to Intercontinental) with steep
slope, not suitable for cars with very low suspensions.
