At the age of 14, she became the youngest student in the history of the National University of Singapore to enter the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music at the National University of Singapore[4] as a National Arts Council scholar, where she studied with Dr Thomas Hecht and was placed on dean's list every semester. Abigail graduated from Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music in 2010 at the age of 18 as the top student of her cohort with first class honours and winning the Lee Kuan Yew Gold Medal.
In September 2010, Sin embarked on her postgraduate degree at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where she studied under the tutelage of Joan Havill,[5] returning to Singapore in 2012 to resume her studies with Professor Hecht. In May 2014 she completed a graduate diploma in piano performance.
