Tom Lee Music is one of Hong Kong's largest instrument and audio retailers, operating shops and an online store side by side. The range covers pianos and keyboards, orchestral instruments, guitars, drums, amplifiers, recording gear and sheet music, backed by its own music academy and a rental operation. For schools, churches and institutions, the advantage of a single supplier at this scale is that procurement, delivery, installation and after-sales can be handled through one contract, with technicians who know the equipment they installed. For individual buyers, the branch network makes it realistic to try an instrument before ordering, while the website supports the research: specifications, stock, promotions and delivery terms. Because the company has supplied Hong Kong's music education sector for decades, spare parts and servicing remain available for instruments sold years earlier, which is the part that matters once the warranty has expired.

FAQ
How do hobby classes differ from tutoring?
Hobby classes focus on skills or interests (music, sport, art, drama, crafts); tutoring focuses on academic subjects. Per EDB guidance, classes that purely teach skills, such as painting, dance or drama, fall outside the "school" definition in the Education Ordinance and do not need school registration.
At what age should a child start?
It depends on the activity: swimming often from 4, instruments around 5–6, team sports usually after 5; under 3 it is mostly parent-and-child classes. The real test is whether the child can follow instructions, stay focused for 20–30 minutes and enjoys it.
What should I check before enrolling?
① A trial lesson. ② Ratio (1:4 to 1:8 works well). ③ Coach qualifications (governing body or recognised certificates, competition experience). ④ Venue safety: exits, first aid, insurance. ⑤ How progress is assessed. ⑥ Absence and make-up class policy.
How do I compare fees?
Most charge monthly or per lesson, with extra costs for materials, equipment, uniform, exam or competition entries. Try a short block (4–8 lessons) before paying for a long package, and check the rules on absence, transfers and refunds.
