Teaching kids is never easy. Thani has been so patient and kind when teaching my kiddos. He is very observant and caters to each child’s strengths and builds on that. Both my boys have progressed significantly working with Thani. They had no experience playing any instruments and to now know how to read notes, create their own music and genuinely love music, has been so awesome to witness. We are so thrilled that we have the opportunity to work with Thani and are really excited to see the continued progress my kids are and will be making.

Cindy has been working with me for 2 years now, and as an adult I'm enjoying lessons so much more! She's excellent with theory and very patient. She also gave lessons to my grand daughters, who liked her very much!

“Thank you for teaching my children!
Galyna is a very knowledgeable and dedicated teacher. She is fully committed to help her students gain a deeper understanding of the theory and the technical skills necessary to achieve their full potential as pianists. Galyna patiently and masterfully instructs my two children during class. She sets high standards for her students and constantly pushes them to strive higher. She is articulate and organized, and her passion for piano shows in the way she engages her students. Those who wish to pursue music, particularly piano, should benefit the most from her knowledge and experience. Without hesitation, I will recommend Galyna to parents who are searching for a well-trained professional piano teacher to develop their child’s musical abilities.”

Mr. Dang was the piano teacher for both my kids and they learnt piano from him for at least 10 years each and they loved it. Although school and other activities did not permit them to continue but Mr. Dang's teaching has had a long lasting effect on them. They still play and it is surprising to see how quickly they learn new musical-pieces/songs.
That is where Mr. Dang's teaching comes in - absolutely a brilliant teacher, always encouraging and excellent with kids of all age. Mr. Dang has immense patience, a good listener and a splendid person to talk to. The kids used to look forward to the piano class. Mr. Dang himself is a very accomplished pianist and he has the very talented art of imparting his knowledge to his students.
My brief stays during their classes with Mr. Dang encouraged me to become a student of him for a brief period of time, but with no fault of his, I had to quit (fat fingers).
The point is Mr. Dang encourages people to learn at their own comfortable pace, there is no pressure and he always finds ways to bring about a positive feeling no matter the student's learning ability.
Without any hesitation I will recommend Mr. Dang and if the kids or even I, ever go back to piano it would be to none other than our favorite pianist - Mr. Dang.
Mr. Dang thanks for your time, patience, excellent guidance. and also continuous enthusiasm. Kids could not have been where they are today, not just as pianists, but as good human beings, without your positive influence.
many thanks and regards

His flexibility in scheduling as well as in what material we’d focus on each week was fantastic. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable of the Guitar. After just a handful of lessons I felt much more confident playing the guitar then I did on my first lesson.
