I've been taking lessons with Ms. April Chung for a couple months. I had not played the piano since high school, and was hoping to pick up the old habit. Lessons with Ms. Chung has been pleasant, efficient, and very informative. I am very impressed (or shall we say surprised?) in how fast my techniques improved over the short period of time. I was able to put together a solid Chopin piece in good shape over a few weeks. I especially admire April's tips for self-practicing, and her balanced focus on both basic skills and musical expressiveness. I highly recommend anyone, with different experience and age, to work with Ms. Chung and learn to enjoy playing the piano.

My 7 years daughter started her piano lesson 3months ago. She loves to go to her studio, playing the grand piano. Not only this, she learns musician's history, listening training, music theory, and of course, playing the piano. Because of this method, my daughter got motivated to learn and loves Ms. April's lesson. While I was watching my daughter's lesson, I got interested to her lesson. Finally, I also started Ms. April's lesson. She gives me inspiration, because of that I really enjoy playing the piano. She is the best piano teacher for both of us!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Young kids- I combine piano playing with theory ( music board games, rhythm games for little kids) and music appreciation in each lesson. The music appreciation part takes about 5 to 10 minutes each time- (For 4-6 year old children I sing/dance/conduct while I play some well-known music. For 7 years up I tell fun true musician stories to introduce well-known composers and music!)
