Our Founder
JOHN CHAI
Continuing A Living Legacy
The seed to start KMC began in the 1940s. After observing budding Musicians on stage and at Concert Halls, KMC’s Founder, Mr. John Chai, who was blessed with a “perfect pitch” was spotted & groomed by a professional Musician & Priest. Young John Chai, graduated from a Home Pianist to Church Organist at age 8 and learnt to read notes and understand music scores. His enthusiasm and drive to master music led him to “get acquainted with people from the music industry” and the deep desire to nurture others with similar innate talents, led to the setting up of a Music School, thanks to the enthusiastic support from his beloved wife, Theresa Loo.
Today, Mr. John Chai’s loved ones, most of whom are Qualified Professionals in Music Related Fields, continue his legacy, maintaining and raising the high standards he set to New Heights Of Excellence…
