About
I am an experienced piano teacher for years. Music major at Taiwan theological college, teaching at Yamaha Music School and at the college. I went to study piano at University of Minnesota under Ms Judith Bailey. I am a life time pianist for church services. I was a teachers trainer for YAMAHA music school and now teaching private lessons at my studio with my husband, who is also a very experienced piano teacher, study Piano at University of Mennisota.
Over the past years, the most enjoyable thing is: seeing our students being succesful in the music field of education, i.e., some are professors in different colleges, music teachers from K to grade 12, church music directors and pianists.
Now more than 10 years here in Las Vegas, we have seen many different people coming from all over the world. It is so much fun to have many students from many different ethnic backgrounds. At each annual Christmas student recital, you see their skiiful performances and their parents prepare all sorts of ethnic food and goodies! Music and food are the most fun things in life!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first visit is very important. We will meet you or your kids to get acquaint with them to see what are their interests, their music orientation and talent. We will let them sit on the piano to feel the instrument, if they are new. And then we will have them or parents fill out the registration form and sign-in Sheet. The sign-in sheet is for them to sign the date of lesson when they come for lessons. The payment system: You pay at the first lesson of every four lessons, i.e., $50 per lesson, you pay $200 at the first lesson for 4 lessons.
And then we will set up the weekly schdule for lessons.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Mrs. Janie Lai has a BA degree of Music from Taiwan Theological College and the YAMAHA music training in Japan, US, and Taiwan. She was also a trainer for new teachers who are coming to teach Yamaha. She has been Church pianist and organist throughout her life. She has been teaching piano since college years, and never stop since then. Her grown -up students are all over places, some piano professors, some church musicians, some private teachers, etc..
Mr. Peter Lai has learned piano since Junior high school. He was the pianist for the shool evening chapel worship throughout his High school years. He started to teach piano in college to earn tuition and living expenses for both music and Philosophy degrees in Taiwan. He also went to University of Minesota majoring in Piano and then Luther Seminary to be a minister of Lutheran Church. Piano skill was very useful for being a Pastor. But he never stop playing and teaching. Piano is the most important thing in his life. Now he is in love with teaching piano and love all students who come and learn piano at the Lai Piano Studio.
