Ever since our young son started private lessons with Mr. Domenico, his technical and interpretive skills on the piano have improved immensely. Mr. Domenico is an ideal teacher for young children. He is patient and kind but firm and disciplined in his teaching style. He has instilled a drive in my son to perfect his skills. My son recently passed his RCM examination with ease achieving an honours with distinction grade. We are grateful to Mr. Domenico for making this possible.

The instructors at Showcase Academy are not only kind and passionate, but also extremely experienced in their respective fields. This is definitely the place to go no matter private or group lessons. The school is clean, run well and offers free trial lessons to anyone who needs convincing.
Raised the tuition after re-registration, without notice us when we re-register and paid the re-register fee. We re-registered in July 2017, academy called us that tuition fee raised starting the new school year from September 2017. The first year of our learning in this academyin 2015, we needed to bring our own Harp to the location the teacher requested and the time the teacher requested. When the teacher cancel the class, no refund but only make up class, and the make up class cannot carry over to the next month, can only use it in school holidays. During few times of recitals, or rehearsals, the teacher never show up. Overall experience is unbelievable worst. Not recommended at all!
I have been to about 4 music academies and Showcase Academy is my favorite. The staff are all courteous, friendly, prompt and professional. What I like the most about this academy is that it has many music rooms with new pianos that are regularly tuned. This is extremely important for me because as a developing musician, I want to practice and study on quality instruments to make the most out of every lesson. Since a young child up till now, I have always had very sensitive hearing and touch so when a piano is out of tune or is poorly maintained, I would not be able to study or play on it. If the keys are wobbly or too sharp or flat, I would involuntarily twitch each time I touch it. Imagine scratching your nails on a chalkboard. That's how I respond to a poorly maintained piano. Because of this sensitivity to sound and touch, I oftentimes end up playing on just my own piano and seldom play on an unknown one. For this reason, overtime, I developed a lot of anxiety if I had to perform on an instrument that I have not had the time to rehearse (or approve) with first. I remember that I used to bail out on all my recitals and exams because I was scared of not knowing how to cope with this sensitivity. Thanks to Showcase Academy and its variety of well-maintained, quality pianos, I have overcome this fear. This academy offered me the opportunity to explore and trust different pianos and brands. Showcase Academy helped me build musical confidence and competence. And with greater musical confidence and competence, I am even able to play on any, bad or good piano now. :) This in turn, has helped me achieve First Class Honours with Distinction in all of my RCM exams! If you're looking for an academy that cares about your musical learning needs, this is the place!
A big thank you to our teacher Mr. Dulu, who helps my daughter passed RCM Gr.10 exam at the age of 11. He teaches not only piano but music. Our daughter got First class honors with distinction. We also thank you to Jenaya and her staffs from Showcase Academy. They try their efforts to meet our musical learning needs.
