MUSIC LESSONS IN HONG KONG
IPA Music connects students in Hong Kong and around the world to professional teachers who are working in their field. Unlike many music studios and tutoring centers, we only recommend internationally trained artists who have worked for years in their fields, and all of our teachers have Masters or Doctorate degrees.
Finally, our terms make sure the bulk of student tuition stays in the teachers pockets by allowing teachers to work from their own homes and private studios. We believe in keeping expensive private centers out of the learning process.

CLASSICAL VOICE
We hold five different degrees in voice and have taken lessons directly from teachers who trace their heritage back to the Italian Bel Canto masters. Our operatic career spans four languages and three continents, with over 300 shows between the two of us. Our goal is to empower you to sing with your very best voice in a healthy and sustainable fashion, while reaching deep into your soul to express the poetry of days gone by. From beginning singers to seasoned professionals who just want to check in, our teachers can help you find your optimum vocal technique.
MUSIC THEATRE
After years of studying with one of the premiere belt specialists in the United States, we have learned how to use style to adjust traditional classical voice techniques to even the most extreme belt in Music Theatre. In addition to vocal technique, we can help guide you through acting and stagecraft. Whether you crave the golden age of the old classics or the newest shows on Broadway, we can help guide you.
POP AND CONTEMPORARY MUSIC
Loving that belt sound? The same principles that apply to singing in modern Music Theatre will carry you into the ability to have a long, healthy career singing a variety of different pop genres. Bring in your favorite artists and styles and we'll help you learn to find your own voice and sing with health and ease without losing the style that keeps you dancing each time you put your headphones in.
PERSONAL GROWTH AND MUSICIANSHIP
Most of our students aren't looking at a full career in music. There have been numerous studies to show how studying music is beneficial to human development. We firmly believe that music performance builds character, leadership skills, discipline, enhances public speaking, and generally builds the leaders of tomorrow. Additionally, music has the ability to heal broken souls. We create a curriculum with the student that will help them maximize their potential while enjoying the music they love.
ABRSM
Courses are available for Classical Voice and new Music Theatre curriculum
IPA's teachers are active performers, meaning about once a term we are traveling internationally for performances. Taking from a teacher with an active performing career means taking from a teacher who is constantly learning and connecting to what is going on in music today. It also means plugging in to a network of other international performers, teachers, and Universities.
