About

About	Legato Music was founded in 2003 by Jeannette Chin as a small music business with just a handful of teachers at Taman Fortuna, Penampang. Driven by her passion and unwavering dedication, Jeannette nurtured students, trained teachers, and guided staff to excel, laying a strong foundation for what Legato Music has become today. In 2013, the center relocated to The Peak Suites to accommodate its growth and vision for expansion. Over the years, it has flourished into a vibrant music hub, supported by a dedicated team of around 20 members offering hundreds of weekly classes. Jeannette’s remarkable contributions to Legato Music remain at the heart of its success, and her vision continues to inspire its mission. In July 2022, the leadership baton was passed to a team of five accomplished and passionate individuals—Raymond Goh (Principal), Joanne Vun, Jude Limus, Kienz Wong, and Samuel Siaw. Having been among Jeannette’s most trusted team members and teachers, they bring a wealth of experience and a shared commitment to upholding her legacy. Together, they are dedicated to furthering Legato Music’s mission, fostering creativity, and nurturing future generations of musicians. Under their leadership, Legato Music is poised to continue thriving as a beacon of musical excellence and creative education in Kota Kinabalu, inspiring students and the community for years to come. At the beginning of 2025, Legato Music reached an exciting milestone with its expansion to Likas Square. The new space offers a larger unit, a beautifully designed recital hall, and additional classrooms equipped with enhanced facilities. This expansion reflects our commitment to providing an inspiring environment where students can grow, thrive, and take their musical journey to the next level. Legato Music is a dynamic hub for music and creative arts education in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality education, training, and performance opportunities to students of all ages and skill levels.
