Introduction
I worked very well with both children and adults. I always give the best to my students. My goal is to help my student to improve their skills of playing piano and express themselves on their playing. I graduated from California State Fullerton in piano pedagogy . I got perfect training and opportunities in the school. Beside teaching piano, I teaches vocal as well. I've been trained by professional vocalist in my hometown and got many trophies too. In my lesson, beside the major instrument that your child is learning, I will combine music theory into the lesson to make sure they understand the language. I like to teach and explain the right way. It always fells good when the student understand what I taught them and expressed it back to the audience. That's when I know my student did it and I made it. It makes myself happy and excited which I want to give more to my students. I am very passionate about my job and very patient and love working with my students.

Woooww!! I'm amazed at her patience for my four year old. He never focuses on anything and she got him to sit down and learn how to play the piano. She made sure it was his level of understanding. She got him to play with both hands on his first day. She made sure he was having fun and comfortable. (30min class) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Details: Younger than 6 years old • No, the student cannot read music • No formal training • What the teacher recommends • No, the student does not have either • 60 minutes • I travel to the piano teacher

I am a business professional and have the upmost respect for business owners. With that being said, the respect should be mutual. My wife and I have a busy schedule as do most parents with 3 kids and full time employment. My son is in love with the piano and was taking lessons for about 1 year. The previous piano teacher was a sweetheart, punctual and truly cared about my son’s music journey. Unfortunaltey, my wife and I felt that we needed to take my son’s lessons to another level. Paulina evaluated my son and said he was very smart, and may even have a photographic memory. My son was excited about his upcoming lessons and even practiced a music sheet Paulina left for him while he waited for the following week 1st lesson. Paulina was not an inexpensive hire at $90.00 an hour, but we felt she would be worth it based off her reviews. In fact, the scheduled date was Wednesday’s even though that was not the most convenient date and time for us. We agreed because she had a scheduled lesson with a student on that date the next city over. After all, this was her business and it has to make sense for her as a business owner. After a week of practicing, my son was ready and excited for his 1st lesson. Oh so we thought, because Paulina had to cancel for the following week. My son was a bit disappointed, but he’s a good kid and just said “that’s okay, Inwill just practice more until next week”. That appointment was scheduled and on the day of the lesson, after coordinating our schedule, she wanted to reschedule again. Thad zero out of two scheduled attempts. At $90 an hour, that is extremely unprofessional and inconsiderate. I was professional and replied back that will will be searching for someone else. So after a month of searching and 2 weeks of canceled lessons, my wife and I are back to the drawing board. What a waste of time and effort. I even cancelled the previous instructors that we met with, because we thought Paulina was a professional instructor and business owner. She may be a good piano teacher, not that we would know, but she could definitely take some lessons her self on how to operate a business and learn how to treat people. Hire her if you want your kid to sit around twittering his thumbs waiting for the absentee instructor to show up.

Details: 10 - 13 years old • Yes, the student can read music • No formal training; some self-taught experience • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has a piano • 30 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

    I like to hear feedbacks from the parents. Because it gives me the opportunity to know the parents and the student and I can learn from it too.
