*Eason Enterprises was awarded the Singapore Excellence Awards 2013/2014.*
A small beginning with a big belief.
Eason Music began in 1978 with a simple hope: that Chinese music could have a place in everyday life. It started with our founder, Mr Tan Chin Siong, who believed that music should be shared, understood and enjoyed — no matter your background or age.
What followed was a journey shaped by people, relationships and a deep love for traditional instruments.
Our Journey
- 1978 — Eason Enterprises was founded. Mr Tan travelled through Shanghai, Beijing, Suzhou, Wuhan and Guangzhou to learn from reputable makers and bring quality instruments to Singapore.
- 1980s — Chinese music was still niche. Mr Tan spent countless hours teaching, explaining and repairing instruments for students, schools and enthusiasts who were just beginning to discover them.
- 1990s — Interest in Chinese orchestra grew in schools. We began supporting teachers and music committees through instrument setup, repair, guidance and ensemble formation. Many school CCAs took root during this time.
- 2000s — Eason’s work expanded beyond Singapore — exporting instruments, helping overseas learners, and supporting musicians locally with workshops, performances and educational outreach.
- 2010s — Mr Tan’s son, Sung Wah, joined the family business, growing our online presence and opening up learning opportunities for students from all over the world.
- Today — We teach, repair, perform and support communities across Singapore and beyond. Our mission remains the same: to keep culture alive, one learner and one performance at a time.
Through every change, one thing has stayed constant: we believe music is personal and relationships matter. We continue to walk this journey with learners, teachers, parents, musicians and friends who value the beauty of Chinese musical heritage.
We’re grateful for every person who has been part of our story — and we look forward to growing with you.
