Founded and taught by sisters.
Bowed Strings began as a home-based studio founded by two sisters, and today teaches from a cosy Woodlands storefront, minutes from Marsiling MRT. Proudly Singaporean founded, the studio is led by sisters who play, perform and teach, alongside a small team of conservatory-trained instructors.
Xin Jie
Known to students as Ms Cheong. A performing violinist with orchestra and concertmaster experience, teaching with patience and a focus on musical, stylistic playing, not just the right notes.
Xin Ying
Leads the cello side of the studio with warmth and precision, guiding students on posture, bow hold and tone from the very first lesson through to exams.
Our wider team of violin and cello instructors, several conservatory-trained, so every student is matched with the right teacher.
A 5.0-rated studio.
Xin Jie has been the most patient teacher from the beginning till now. Her classes are the perfect pace for me. I do enjoy learning at my own pace, and Xin Jie never fails to help me through it.
I attended the group violin class and really enjoyed it so I continued with individual classes. Xin Jie is a patient, thoughtful teacher, ready to adapt to your learning pace, with well-structured lessons. Highly recommend for all ages!
Had cello classes with Xin Ying and she was friendly and patient! Corrected mistakes such as posture and bow hold promptly and consistently, even though I kept forgetting. Thank you!
Learning with Teacher Xin Jie has been a truly enjoyable journey. Every lesson feels lively and thoughtful, with meaningful discussions that make learning engaging and inspiring. She also teaches fun pieces beyond the books.
A cosy home for the strings.

Questions, answered.
What age can my child start?
Private violin and cello lessons are for ages 9 to adult, and we run kids and teens violin group classes for younger beginners. Complete beginners of any age are welcome.

Yes. Come down for a free trial with no obligation, and beginners receive a complimentary Bowed Strings booklet. Message us on WhatsApp to arrange a time.

Not right away. Students may use the studio's instruments in lessons until they are ready to buy their own, so you can start before you invest.

We teach classical, pop, jazz and improvisation. Improvisation and jazz work best from around Grade 3 and up, and we'll guide you to the right path at your first lesson.
Do you prepare students for exams?
Yes. We coach students through ABRSM and Trinity graded exams and performances, with structured lesson plans and in-house chamber and group sessions.
