Hear from my students and parents

“Mitsuko is simply one of the best piano teachers I could asked for. She is very patient, calm and encouraging. When my daughter started the class with Ms. Mitsuko 9 months ago, she was just 5 years old and it was so difficult to teach such small kid to focus and sit there learning for 30 mins. But Mitsuko successfully made the class fun and interesting. Her charming personality, patience and teaching method guided my little one through the most difficult period of getting into the piano world – now she falls in love with piano and practice happily everyday! Ms. Mitsuko is also very efficient with her time and a lot of topics covered in half an hour session. She also holds recitals from time to time and participates school recitals, so that children can polish their playing skills and get the experience of playing for an audience. If you want your child to learn from a patient, fun and encouraging teacher, you will like Ms. Mitsuko !” Phuong Au (Piano Mom)

“Mitsuko has been teaching my daughter for over 6 months. She is my daughter's first piano teacher. My daughter really likes her as she is very patient and nice. She always provides positive reinforcement and encouragement even when my daughter does not play as well as she should at times. Mitsuko understands each student's ability and tunes the lesson based on that. She also provides good instructions to parents when children practice at home. Both my daughter and I thoroughly enjoy working with Mitsuko. I highly recommend her as an instructor to anyone.” Daniel Kan (Piano Dad)

“We have been with Ms. Mitsuko about 6 months and we enjoy every Sat piano lesson. She is always patience and smile while teach my 6 years old son. I can see he is growing each month. He now can play stable and read simple notes on his own. I am very happy with Ms. Mitsuko.” Karen Nguyen (Piano Mom)
