Everything about piano

Racel C.

I like that my children get an emotional musicality and artistic flair to their playing and an appreciation for how music “feels” instead of just playing notes perfectly.

Olga's Piano lessons

Cici is by far our favorite piano teacher. My twin boys were 6 years old when they started private lessons with Cici. She is very professional and has always come in prepared with lesson plans. Cici keeps the lessons interesting and engaging; she also tailors teaching to each boy as they have different strength and weakness. My kids have learned a lot more with her compared to with other teachers (because of her relocation, we had to switch to other teachers). The best part of working with Cici is her well-organized recitals. You can tell she puts so much effort into it to make the students and parents a enjoyable and rewarding experience. My boys love playing piano because of her, and as parents we greatly appreciate her!

Shawn has been a phenomenal piano instructor for my 2 children over many years. His weekly lessons are personable and engaging. He tailors the lessons for each child's personality, skill, and musical interest. He managed to keep the kids (now high-schoolers) engaged even through the virtual lessons via video calls during the pandemic. He was originally recommended to our family by my co-worker whose kids took lessons from him, and he has exceeded all our expectations!
