As the Lunar New Year approaches, the air is filled with the promise of new beginnings. If your 2026 resolution involves learning a new skill or finding a peaceful escape from the city bustle, Heritage Strings & Arts at Marina Square is your sanctuary.
Located on Level 3, this boutique studio is more than just a music school; it is a cultural haven where modern lifestyle meets ancient tradition. Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned musician, here is why you should pick up the strings this January.
A Musical Start to the Year of the Horse
There is no better time to immerse yourself in Chinese culture than during the festive season. Heritage Strings & Arts specializes in the Guzheng (Chinese zither) and Guqin, offering structured lessons that bridge the gap between traditional heritage and contemporary music.
Their curriculum is designed to be relatable for modern students. Instead of just dry theory, you get to play melodious tunes that resonate with the "here-and-now." For those looking to start, their Private and Group Lessons offer a flexible schedule, ensuring you can fit a little zen into your busy work week.
Shop Premium Instruments: The Perfect Festive Gift
Are you looking for a show-stopping piece for your home this Chinese New Year? The studio retails an exquisite collection of instruments that double as art pieces.
- Wide Selection: They stock over 30 models of Guzhengs, ranging from entry-level "Starter" pieces to "Collectors' Grade" instruments made from premium sandalwood and rosewood.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Look out for their intricately carved designs featuring motifs like "Spring Blossoms" or "Peacocks"—perfect for ushering in prosperity and elegance to your living room.
- Accessories: You can also find high-quality nails, tapes, and covers to complete your setup.
Experience the "Tea & Tune" Lifestyle
Heritage Strings & Arts isn't just about the music; it's about the atmosphere. The studio provides a conducive, relaxing space where students can unwind. They often pair their appreciation of music with a selection of premium Chinese Tea, sourced from core production areas in China. It is the ultimate way to de-stress: strumming a gentle melody while sipping on a fragrant brew.
Events & Workshops
While their regular classes are the main draw, the studio is known for hosting Experiential Workshops. These one-off sessions are perfect for tourists or locals who want a "taster" experience without committing to a full term. Participants can learn the history of the instrument, how to wear the nails, and play a simple tune—all in under an hour.
Tip: Keep an eye on their social media pages for special "CNY Open House" or trial class announcements this festive season!
