Band-first. Performance-driven. Built for musicians who want to actually play — not just practise.
Arrows Music was built on a simple belief: the best way to learn music is to play it — with others, in a band, in front of an audience. We moved away from the isolation of one-on-one lessons and towards something that mirrors how music actually works in the real world.
Based in Singapore, we work with students of all ages and levels who are serious about growing as musicians — not just passing exams, but falling in love with music for life.
"Music is best learnt alongside others"
"We started with a drum kit and a belief.— Arrows Music, Singapore
Turns out, that's all you need."
From rudiments to groove — rock, jazz, pop and beyond. Build your foundation and become a versatile, stage-ready drummer.

Real students. Real moments. Real music.
"We don't just teach music. We build musicians who know how to play together, perform under pressure, and love what they do."
— The Arrows MethodEvery instrument is taught in the context of ensemble playing. You learn to listen, lock in, and contribute to a band — from day one.
Regular showcases are built into the program. Playing for an audience isn't an add-on — it's essential to the learning journey.
We play music students actually love. And we hold them to professional standards — timing, dynamics, feel, presence.
Arrows is a place where musicians grow together. The friendships and band bonds built here often last well beyond lessons.
Zi built Arrows Music on a simple conviction: that music is best learnt alongside others. A working drummer, bandleader, and educator with over a decade of professional performance experience, he brings the stage into every lesson — because that's the only standard that matters.
"Places like his are a rare gem in Singapore. Zi has a special way of connecting with the child to establish trust and makes learning something new or challenging fun and rewarding. Thankful to have discovered him and his awesome studio in the heart of Keong Siak."
My son Liam started drum lessons 4 months ago with no prior experience, and he has already completed Grade 2 within one term. Teacher Zi is a wonderful teacher — very patient, encouraging, and great with kids. Liam always looks forward to his drum classes.
Teacher Zi is very knowledgeable and amazing in teaching both kids and adults. He is engaging, energetic and knows how to interact with kids. My son and I both enjoy his class a lot. Highly recommended.
Teacher Z quickly established rapport with my 4 year old and creatively used his interests (dinosaurs) to teach. My son is able to sit through 45 mins of class, reading drum notation, and learning Coldplay "Yellow" just 10 lessons in!
Teacher Zi is patient, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about music. The facility is well-equipped with quality drum kits, soundproofed rooms, and everything you need to practise comfortably. Highly recommend for anyone looking to dive into drumming.
He's an incredibly motivating teacher — tailoring the lessons to suit my progress and needs. As a working adult, I really appreciate his flexibility in scheduling. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn drums!
Only been learning for 3 weeks and I have already picked up so much. He makes lessons interesting with cool techniques from his career as a very successful and talented drummer. Arrows has high spec equipment and an extremely welcoming environment!
"Words can't properly describe how good of a teacher Zi is. You've got to experience it yourself :)"
— Martina · A year ago"My son has been having drum lessons with Zi for more than 10 years. Safe to say that Zi is one of the best drummers in Singapore."
— Songbo Shi · A year ago"I would highly recommend Arrows and Hazizi. Proximity to CBD, great stress reliever, better guidance, structure and tips than anywhere else. Would recommend!"
— Anonymous · A year ago"My grandson enrolled for just 3 weeks from the UK. I was incredibly impressed with how enthused he was. Absolutely first class!"
