Melissa Y. says, "We have been absolutely thrilled with the piano lessons our twin 7-year-old girls have been receiving from Samantha over the past 9 months. Samantha has a remarkable ability to engage them by incorporating their music preferences into the lessons, whether it's by letting them choose some of their songs or by introducing them to simplified versions of more complex tunes. This personalized approach has not only kept the lessons fun and exciting but also ensured that they remain highly motivated and eager to learn. Samantha's patience and positivity shine through in every interaction. Her feedback is encouraging and supportive, which has been fantastic for building our girls' confidence and skills at the piano. She has also done the extra step of sending videos of how the songs should be played for additional help during home practice. Thanks to her guidance, we've seen significant progress in their playing abilities and musical understanding. We feel fortunate to have found such a dedicated teacher for our daughters." Read more

Laura is an amazing teacher. I'm 20 years old and have been on and off with the piano for years. Being as I compose and play by ear, she has done an excellent job at perfecting my piano skills, as well as sparking new appreciation with music as a whole. The results have been night and day, and my compositions and understanding of music theory has never been better. She will do her absolute best to make sure you get to where you want to be whether it's to get better at chord theory, technique, or melody training. No matter what kind of learner you are, she can adjust and make sure you understand / properly utilize the concepts and strategies needed for you to get better at playing Piano the way you want to play. I highly suggest that if you're like me and you're wanting to get past that skill barrier, Laura will help you to become the piano player that you always wanted to be.

I feel incredibly blessed to have had Nora's musical influence through out my life. Nora is deeply committed to instilling a deep understanding of music through historical context, music theory as well as the expression of music through her students' connection with music. From Nora's experiences growing up in Russia, her understanding of European history and her natural curiosity for historical culture, her life experiences culminates in the practice room to bring meaning to the music that were written in times of Bach, Beethoven, Schummann, Prokofiev, to the comtemporary. I remember it to be a colorful depiction of what life was like back then, the social revolutionary movements and it's effects on music. She is then able to translate that into the musical notes on the page from form and structure to music progressions to chromatic development to style of playing and articulations. But the most important lesson I learn from her is how to express emotions through music as this is what connects us to the sounds that is being created. Although I have won awards from competitions during Nora teachings, I cannot tell you where those certificates lie but what stays with me in the last 20 years is the love of music, the trained ears for appreciating classical music, the spirit of beauty in the world by valuing music and last but not least the ability to express myself in a deeply satisfying way without using words.

Orange Music Studio was definitely one of the highlights of my high school career! I took lessons from Gala Yaroshevsky for roughly two years and she was one of the most passionate and influential teachers I've had in my life. She has the ability to go far beyond just teaching the notes and techniques and makes music such an immersive, enjoyable, and unique experience for her students. She guided me through the Advanced level of the Certificate of Merit and both the Flute Choirs and Philharmonic Orchestra of the San Jose Youth Symphony. It would not have been the same with anyone else!

I really like her teaching style and that she lets me play piano for fun and enjoyment, not for perfection. If I wanted perfection, she could also help me with that. But I’m really glad she is fun to play with and has helped me with my goals of enjoying playing the piano.

“Dr. Seong has been one of my most influential teachers I’ve had in my piano instruction and playing. She reinforced my foundation of understanding and truly brought out expressivity in my playing that I had never considered myself capable of performing. Patient, kind, and nurturing, Dr. Seong helped to foster my love of piano playing and her expert guidance is inspiring. I grew leaps and bounds in the time that I took lessons with Dr. Seong, and still refer back to things she taught me in our lessons years later.”
