The Academy
Our Academy is inspired by the basic analogy of “Music & You Shape Us”. It basically means ‘Music’ and ‘You’ has shaped what we are now!
Since 2014, we have been operating on a simple setup which is on Private-learning concept. Over the years, we have grown into two home studios catering for students from two housing communities in Puchong.
