Ken is a very experienced musician and performer and really teaches what it’s all about, he uses his own material and everything you do has a specific purpose. And because Ken teaches independently of some book, or guide he can always adjust his lessons to what you need or are struggling.

Ms. Pan is a superb piano teacher. She teaches the student from the ground up. It’s not just about playing but it’s also learning the theory of piano. Ms. Pan goes above and beyond to work with her students, getting to know them and involving the family. She has helped my son build a solid foundation to really develop his piano skills. After one year of instruction, he is way ahead of his peers who have been taking piano for years. Ms. Pan has made my very shy teen into a confident, strong piano player and music lover! I definitely recommend Ms. Pan to anyone looking to learn piano.
