"Still remember the first time I came to your studio. At that time, I thought that playing piano was nothing but playing right notes. But you taught me so much more than that. You taught me to make a good foundation, and enjoy the music I play. If you didn't teach me these things, I would not have been very happy about music... Thank you for helping me to conquer my nervousness and use different ways to build up my confidence. When you move to California, it won't be the same without you. I will miss you when I am playing piano. I hope we can keep in touch." - Natalie L.

Through every students of yours, I truly realized the beauty of playing piano and why you must stress on the details, the posture, and the dynamics even for kids like M. from the very beginning of learning piano...We came to you last year at this time not knowing anything about learning piano.
