Jasmin Music Studio Brunei has gained recognition among students and parents for quality music education because of the following:
1. An exam-oriented institution JMS Brunei is an exam-oriented institution which focuses on students obtaining excellent ABRSM exam results, whether theory or practical. The majority of students in JMS opt for graded exams, while a number of them take lessons for leisure.
2. A holistic approach to learning Unlike some music lessons elsewhere, JMS emphasizes a holistic approach to teaching and learning by integrating musical literacy, technical skills and stylistic awareness. The school’s priority on quality teaching is underscored by how only a maximum of two students are taught in one class. This allows the teachers of JMS to give personal attention to the student.
Don't just take it from us. Here are testimonials from our students and their parents:

"If you're looking for the best music school in Brunei, it would definitely be Jasmin Music Studio. Started at the tender age of 6 at Jasmin Music Studio, the music studio has benefited me in countless ways on my piano skills. With teacher Jasmin's keen eye for details in her student's performance, she was always able to correct my mistakes and pinpoint my improvement areas. Under her guidance, I was always able to pass ABRSM examinations with ease in both theory and practical examinations. She is a dedicated and hardworking teacher that I will always be grateful to for imparting me her piano skills :)"- Audrey
"Jasmin Music School is a professionally-run school with committed teachers, where you're made to feel part of 'the family'. There are students of all age groups who come to learn new instruments, with the main emphasis being piano and with the option, rather than expectation, of sitting for practical and theory examinations through the Royal School of Music. Students also get to showcase their talents in the bi-annual concert, which is always something to look forward to! Prices are very competitive and one advantage with enrolling here is the flexibility and opportunity to make up lessons for any reason. I would highly recommend Jasmin Music School for anyone who is thinking of taking up a new instrument." - Hillary Ford
"Teacher Jasmin has taught me so much for my 6-7 years studying piano with her. Back in the days, I often find myself eager to always learn difficult pieces that I bring back from home and teacher Jasmin was always there supporting and encouraging me which eventually made me very good in sight reading. I started learning at the age of 14 which is a bit late, but I tried to surpass everyone who started earlier than me and that's what JMS is good at - the continuous encouragement and teacher Jasmin’s ability to pinpoint your weaknesses and what exercises/pieces to give you to overcome it. I still remember the time when I was I Grade 6; I shocked teacher Jasmin in telling her that I wanted to do Grade 8, and she wasn’t sure if I could as Grade 6 to Grade 8 is a huge jump and a lot to cover. But she challenged me into doing it and eventually she supported me as she saw my passion and determination in tackling the challenge.
I started performing when I was 18 and I am still actively performing for weddings, private functions and gigs- which includes performing in front of Pengiran Anak Isteri Pengiran Anak Sarah. I was chosen to perform for “Brunei Young Musicians” concert twice where the audition pits you together to compete with other young and talented performers at a young age for the spot. I’m also an aspiring music producer in my humble mini home studio with experience in playing other few instruments. Truth be told, I couldn’t have done all this if not for the music foundation I’ve built along with Teacher Jasmin who has nurtured my talent and passion from when I was young."-Mohd Zulhilmi
"I have been taking classes at Jasmin Music Studio for almost 5 years. Teacher Jasmin is a kind, warmhearted piano teacher. Her passion in the art of the piano has been reflected upon to all her students. With her devotion, she has immersed herself in making sure that all her students do well in practical and theory exams, by pinpointing and correcting any apparent mistakes and taking the time to explain what improvements are needed to be made in order for you to grow as a young musician. Teacher Jasmin was also kind enough to give us free extra theory classes to further assure that we are exposed enough practice; which resulted in high success rates in terms of her student’s exam results. She makes sure that she works closely with her students by keeping in close contact with them and also adjusting her own schedules to replace any missed classes the students may have.
With her hardworking mindset, I have been able to improve in strides as a pianist. It has been an honour to work alongside her throughout my piano journey and I am very grateful for everything she has done for me. I highly recommend Jasmin Music Studio!"-Akiko Liyanage
"I have always loved music, particularly the piano. I am thankful for having the opportunity to learn to play the piano. I have been playing the piano for 6 years with Teacher Jasmine. Teacher Jasmine is a very loving and patient teacher who cares about her students. She had taught me a lot throughout the journey and had always kept me motivated." -Elisha Kang
"Music is a matter of personal passion, and to be able to impart and create students who are equally passionate and excel is no mean feat. Teacher Nur Jasmine has this talent to bring out the best in her students, whom she moulds with utter dedication. Students love her gentle and loving caress and have succeeded in achieving great heights."- Mr. Ramarao
"Miss Jasmine taught me theory during my time with her, as I was a violin student. She is a lovely and dedicated woman, always does what she thinks is best for her students. Honestly, I consider my time there as one of my best memories that I like to look back on now that I'm older. I guarantee a time in Miss Jasmin's music school won't just give you a fun and rewarding experience that is short-lived, but one that lasts a lifetime. Miss Jasmine does not only teach you to be good at music, but also to respect, love and have fun with it."-Fatin Shari
"Both of my children started learning the piano with Madam Jasmin at the age of 6. They continue to enjoy their piano lessons with Madam Jasmin who is both patient and approachable. My 12-year-old son and my 10-year-old daughter are now respectively completing ABRSM Grade 5 and Grade 3 piano.
Madam Jasmin was very encouraging and tutored my 12-year-old who has also achieved his ABRSM Grade 6 theory certificate. The excellent theory tuition the children are receiving is evident as my son has picked up the guitar as a second instrument without any difficulty in reading guitar sheet music.
Madam Jasmin is a dedicated teacher with genuine concern that her students do their very best. One month before any practical piano exam, she will set aside Sundays for mock piano exams so each candidate may have the opportunity of familiarizing themselves with exam technique each Sunday in the run-up to the exam. She does the same for theory exams, setting aside Sunday afternoons one month before the theory exam during which students attend each Sunday to complete past exam papers.
It isn’t all about exams. My children enjoy music and are now confident about their musical abilities. They also have vocal lessons at Jasmin Music Studio. They sing for pure enjoyment and are not required to take any exams. I am very pleased with the level of musical education my children are receiving and highly recommend Madam Jasmin who is a dedicated music teacher."- Sue Ong
"When I started working I knew I wanted to start piano again. I wasn't sure where to go but I was certain I wanted to go somewhere private instead of a music school. I liked the idea of a home-based school as it seemed warmer and more intimate. When I heard about Jasmin Music Studio, I immediately messaged Teacher Jasmin.
After my first visit, I felt comfortable and was excited to start my piano lessons. As an adult, I wanted a teacher who would push me and encourage me to improve but who also wouldn't be too demanding. Teacher Jasmin is an excellent, warm and friendly teacher, on top of having really clear instruction. She is really encouraging and patient, (every week I would come with different pieces to try and play) and she would always sit and help me work out and also teach me how to be more independent. Despite that, she never lets me slack off and will always ensure I get on with theory, as well as other parts of my piano playing that I struggle with, for instance, sight reading. With regards to exams, she was never forceful about wanting me to take them, and it was merely an option should I want it.
Eventually, I decided I wanted to have qualifications and decided to take exams which have added a whole new dimension to my piano playing. I have piano every Monday which is a huge reason why I never have any Monday blues! It's such a joy to be able to play the instrument, and she makes playing seem so easy and accessible. I'm so glad I found Jasmin Music Studio, Teacher Jasmin has been so encouraging and has helped me improve so much in just a year. Playing the piano has brought so much light and happiness into my life and I look forward to many more years being with Jasmin Music Studio."- Amirah Aji
"My eldest son, Daniel, started taking piano lessons from Teacher Jasmin in 2011 when he was only six years old. A reserved and shy boy, my husband and I wanted him to find something that he can be passionate about. Thus it was with great pleasure that we witnessed the gradual blossoming in his confidence under Teacher Jasmin's tutelage. Now, at age 12, not only can he read music fluently, he finds personal enjoyment in playing the piano. With Teacher Jasmin's patience and constant encouragement, Daniel has taken and excelled in his grading examinations. Without a doubt, she maintains a high standard of musical attainment and ensures that my son is well prepared for his exams. We would emphatically recommend Teacher Jasmin to prospective parents. In fact so happy are we with our son's progress that we have now enrolled his brother, Haikal, so that he too can benefit from Teacher Jasmin's teaching."-Suzie Tuah
"I studied practical piano and music theory under Teacher Jasmin for many years. She is patient and kind, and really inspires you to enjoy learning and playing music. Thanks to Teacher Jasmin, I have learnt to appreciate music in so many different ways. I couldn't be more grateful to her for being such a wonderful teacher and mentor all these years!"- Priya Ramarao-Milne
"It has been a dream for me to learn and be able to play the piano. As a student, it was difficult for me to realize my dream as I had to juggle between music and also my education. After 4 years of working, it finally hit me, what is stopping me from learning the piano. Jasmine music school was the perfect school for me due to their flexibility and their ability in understanding the students' need. I was already in my late 20s, my receptors towards learning new things are not as good as it was before, and the unpredictable nature of my job made things more complicated for me. Thankfully, JMS was patient enough with me, and they were able to apply enough pressure whilst applying a considerable amount of flexibility to me to further realize my dream. Thank you JMS, hopefully, I can reach the level that I am hoping for although I know there is such a long way to go still. You're the best, I will definitely send my kids to this wonderful school."- Asharuddin
"What strikes me as the best thing about Jasmin Music Studio is Teacher Jasmin's dedication to her students. For the last few years, I have been learning piano under her, and the effort she puts into ensuring that I, and indeed all her students, can play the piano to the best of our abilities is truly touching. My knowledge of technical skills is ever improving under her tutelage, and so is my love for piano. I have taken numerous practical and theory exams, passing all with ease by way of her sagacious guidance. Her dexterity and experience with piano and teaching is nothing short of amazing – I can recommend nowhere else better." -Rahmah Mackie
"Hi,my name is Rishona Ritika Nelson. I am a 4th grade piano student at JMS. Teacher Jasmin is an amazing piano teacher and mentor for anyone seeking piano lessons to enjoy and master it. She is highly experienced and very professional, which you can see in her lessons and in the results she creates in her students. One of my favourite things about Teacher Jasmin is that she will push you to do your utmost best with every piece, pay attention not only to technical details but also to the emotions and story that each piece conveys. I must also mention her high degree of compassion, flexibility and humour. She has a rare knack of imparting to a student the qualities of music appreciation, the joy of learning, the drive and desire to progress. The best part is that she does this kindly and patiently. She never lets me get away with shoddy or mistakes for which I am very grateful. I am very grateful for having a teacher like her." - Rishona Ritika Nelson
"Madam Jasmin has been my children's piano teacher from the time they were about 6 and has taken them through extremely successful theory exams till grade 5 and practical exams till grade 8. She has motivated and encouraged them and has always remained very patient. Her knowledge of the ABRSM exams is very extensive. Thank you Madam Jasmin!"- Santhi Roy Prabhakaran

"Jasmin was my piano teacher for 3 years before I returned to Australia. I was in my 50’s and wished to learn piano from scratch! I was immediately comfortable with her as she was warm and enthusiastic. She was a dedicated and conscientious teacher, clear and patient in her instruction. She always encouraged me to set high standards in my piano playing. She related well to her students who are from diverse nationalities, age groups and musical abilities/experience. I will remember Jasmin fondly for the kind and approachable way she taught me to play the piano!"-Lean Chew
