FISHERMAN MUSIC SCHOOL

While choosing the name of our School, we came across many words that sounded both 'beautiful' and 'inspiring'. However, we have chosen to abandon the usage of these names, as they do not reflect accurately the philosophy of our teaching.

"I am different from all the men that I have seen, if I am not better, at least I am different."

- Jean Jacques Rousseau

This quote from one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century best echoes our sentiments.

As a consequence, we have decided not to use any of the 'high brow' and 'aristocratic' sounding names that have come to be expected of music schools in Singapore. We aspire to be more than just a commercial music school.

In naming our School 'FISHERMAN', we have in fact chosen a different approach to music education (and education in general in Singapore today). As much as we prefer to avoid labels, we have nicknamed our philosophy of teaching as 'The Fisherman Philosophy' so as to facilitate its introduction and discussion.
