Where Every Musical Journey Begins with Passion, Encouragement, and the Right GuidanceÂ
Hello, I'm Leah!
I'm an experienced and passionate cello teacher offering personalised cello lessons at West Mall, Bukit Batok.
Since 2019, I've had the joy of teaching students of different ages, abilities, and musical backgrounds — from young children discovering the cello for the first time to adults fulfilling their dream of learning this beautiful instrument.
As an ABRSM-qualified cellist and holder of an ARSM Diploma in Cello Performance, I believe that every student is unique, with different strengths, aspirations, and learning paces. That's why I tailor my lessons to suit each individual's needs, creating a supportive, patient, and encouraging learning environment where students can develop their skills and grow in confidence.
Having experienced my own musical journey, I understand that learning the cello is about much more than mastering an instrument. It is about developing patience, discipline, perseverance, creativity, and the confidence to express oneself through music.
My teaching focuses on building a strong technical foundation, developing musical understanding, and nurturing expressive artistry. I'm proud that several of my students have achieved Distinction in their ABRSM cello examinations, reflecting their dedication, hard work, and musical growth. Beyond examination success, I also encourage my students to experience the joy and fulfilment of performing and sharing their music with others.
For parents, I believe that every child's musical journey begins with curiosity, encouragement, and the right guidance. My goal is to provide a nurturing environment where your child feels comfortable learning, motivated to improve, and inspired to develop a genuine love for music.
For adult learners, whether you're picking up the cello for the first time or returning to an instrument you once loved, it's never too late to begin your musical journey. I'll be happy to guide you at a pace that suits your abilities, interests, and personal goals.
At Leah He Cello Studio, my greatest satisfaction comes not only from seeing students achieve their musical goals, but also from watching them grow in confidence, discover their potential, and find joy in every step of their learning journey.
Whether you're a parent looking for the right cello teacher for your child or an adult ready to explore the beauty of cello music, I'd love to be part of your musical journey.
Let's discover the joy of playing the cello together!
Warmly,
Leah
No Prior Experience Needed: Your child doesn't need any prior musical background to begin their cello journey. I support both students and parents, equipping you with effective, stress-free ways to support home practice without the nagging.
Transparent Progress Tracking: I provide regular, detailed updates so you stay in the loop on your child’s technical development and exam readiness.
Parent Observation Welcome: You are always welcome to sit in on lessons, giving you a transparent view of your child's learning journey and classroom environment.
Progress Video Updates: Upon request, I can provide video recordings of your child's lessons or milestones so you can track their growth and celebrate their progress firsthand.
Exclusive 1-to-1 Attention: Every lesson is conducted on a strictly one-on-one basis, ensuring your child receives 100% of my focus, customized pacing, and personalized guidance.
Individualized Repertoire: Every student learns at a different pace and responds to different styles of music. I carefully curate pieces that match your child's personality and technical needs, ensuring they stay inspired, challenged, and deeply in love with playing.
Beyond the Instrument: Lessons go beyond just mastering physical cello posture. I integrate foundational music theory, sight-reading, and ear training naturally into our lessons, building a well-rounded musician rather than just an exam-taker.
Nurturing Stage Poise: Through student showcases and collaborative events (like our joint violin and cello concerts), your child is gently coached to overcome stage fright and transform performance anxiety into genuine self-expression and poise.
I’m so proud of my students’ achievements. Their results speak for themselves.Â

I felt so proud that my student got first prize for The 13th Hong Kong International Performance Arts Festival and Music CompetitionÂ
Organizing a concert is a lot of work. However, I believe every student deserves the chance to shine on stage, helping them grow and build confidence with every performance. By exposing students to live performance, I empower them to transform their hard work into unshakeable confidence.
Long before the bright lights and the applause, the real music happens behind closed doors. Every note played in an empty practice room—through frustration, repetition, and quiet breakthroughs—is an investment in the moment of performance. Rehearsal is where we doubt, discover, and ultimately grow. When an aspiring musician steps onto the stage, they aren't just showing off a song; they are revealing the weeks of quiet dedication, discipline, and heart that made that performance possible.Â
Rehearsal is never dullÂ
Performing is essential for students to step out of their comfort zones and build lasting confidence.
My students all rose to the occasion and performed like pros. Those few magical minutes on stage are the true culmination of weeks of practice and perseveranceÂ
My teacher, Hanlie flew all the way from S.Africa to render support by being the pianist for my students.Â
The moment of truth.Â
“My turn to shine.”Â
Combined performance.Â
A memorable evening for the violin and cello team.Â
My teacher, Hanlie and students. They made me proud.Â
