Our Story

在 S&S Harmony 音樂教室,我們相信,音樂不只是才藝,更是一份陪伴孩子一生的禮物。它能培養專注力與自信,滋養情緒與品格,也在成長的每個階段,成為孩子心中溫柔而堅定的力量。

自 2022 年創立以來,我們始終用心打造一個溫馨、安全、充滿鼓勵的學習環境,讓孩子在沒有壓力的氛圍中,安心探索、勇敢嘗試。對我們而言,每一位學生都不只是來上課的孩子,而是值得被細心陪伴與耐心引導的小小音樂家。

這些年來,我們遇見過許多曾因基礎不穩而失去信心的孩子。也因此,我們更加堅持——學習音樂的第一步,一定要穩、要正確、要專業。我們慎選具備專業背景與豐富教學經驗的老師,不僅懂音樂,更懂孩子。因為真正好的老師,不只是會教,而是知道如何引導孩子建立扎實基礎、養成良好習慣,並在一次次的小小進步中,重新找回自信與成就感。

我們的教學理念融合專業與關愛,強調基本功的培養,也重視孩子內心的感受與成長。我們希望孩子不只是學會一首曲子,而是在學習的過程中,培養專注力、紀律感與表達能力,更重要的是,發自內心地喜歡音樂。

在這裡,學習不是壓力,而是快樂的累積;進步不是比較,而是屬於自己的一步一步成長。

讓孩子從一開始,就走在正確而溫暖的音樂道路上——自信、穩健,並且帶著笑容。
