I took piano as a child and have had a relationship with music my whole life, but have lost what piano-related muscle memory I once may have had. She was able to adjust and give me what seem like the right set of challenges and exercises to help me grow. She was able to find a convenient spot in the schedule for me and the price is right. She has periodic recitals as well, so there are opportunities to perform, which is a very good thing, particularly for younger students.

Lingling strives to know her students well. She tirelessly demonstrates, corrects, and identifies problem areas until students come close to perfecting the techniques. While her disciplinary approach has laid a solid foundation, Lingling's enthusiasm for violin has helped nurturing my daughter's life-long love for music, which is Lingling's ultimate goal. She is an excellent teacher who teaches from the bottom of her heart, and I know, my daughter knows that. We are grateful to have Lingling as our violin teacher.

From the beginning, she focuses on musicality -- dynamics and personal expression, in addition to technical skills. From her example and guidance, students learn the qualities of beautiful violin music. Our son has been taking lessons with Lingling for the past three years. He started in the summer before middle school, and thanks to Lingling's skilled instruction he was able to play in the school orchestra that fall, despite being new to the instrument. He enjoys taking lessons with Lingling very much, and her approach to teaching has inspired him to continue his violin studies beyond school orchestra for personal fulfillment and fun. He says Lingling is an awesome teacher!

I can strongly recommend Denise as a violin teacher from the perspective of an adult student. I…read morestarted taking violin lessons in my late 50's, and I can be quite picky about whom I trust as teachers. Denise wasn't my first violin instructor, but she is by far the most knowledgeable and creative one I have ever met. She has been my teacher for the past 3.5 years. For each of her students, she customizes the lessons so that they develop under firm but positive guidance. She helps students of all levels meet their goals and also to set new ones. I would ask endless questions, and Denise would answer them thoughtfully, often drawing on her deep understanding of music theory, violin techniques, composers' styles and music history. So I learned way, way more than just how to play the fiddle with her! Denise is passionate about helping students reach their potential and to teach them *to play music,* not just to play notes.

My 13-year old daughter has been taking lessons with Dr. Chevalier for over a month now, and I've…read morebeen sitting in. I am over-the-moon happy with our decision to study with her! As a classically-trained musician since my childhood, I've seen many music teachers, both for myself and for my daughter, and Dr. Chevalier is one of the best, perhaps the best. Here's what I love about her teaching: * She focuses on musicality. Dr. Chevalier is always pushing my daughter to listen actively, to hear more nuance in others' performances, and to develop the ability to express subtle musical ideas. * She focuses on music that motivates the student. My daughter expressed her love for the Bruch violin concerto, which is far beyond her current skill. Rather than tell her so, Dr. Chevalier is encouraging her to work on the first page, to build those skills she needs, and she's also introducing other more basic music to work on, connecting them musically to parts of the Bruch to motivate working on them. * She has high standards, and she's patient. Dr. Chevalier doesn't give up when my daughter doesn't quickly get the idea she's presenting, but she also stays patient, trying to communicate subtle ideas in multiple ways to get them across. * She's kind. My daughter is quite sensitive, and she can be find negative feedback demotivating. Dr. Chevalier told me early on that she never says anything negative to her students and I thought she must be exaggerating. But so far, it's true. She's only been super kind to my daughter. * She's thoughtful and clever. Here's an example: to motivate her students to practice, she has them post practice logs on the wall of her studio. Her students look at each others' logs, and they do compare, giving each motivation to impress the rest. I'm so grateful we found Dr. Chevalier and I'm looking forward to years more of my daughter studying with her!

With Alex, my kids are more motivated, practicing on their own without being told and more adventurous in trying out new pieces they hear from the radio/YouTube/etc. My son is now happy playing Joplin and other classical pieces. My daughter is now excited to play for family and friends. The difference I've found with Alex, compared to the previous teacher is that he is patient and adapts to the kids' individual styles. He's supportive of what interests them and as a result, it fosters my kids' self-motivation to play and practice. When that happens, they not only learn faster, but they are happy and enjoying themselves in the process. Alex is able to teach them music theory/concepts and the mechanics of playing sheet music in a way that inspires them. I see a big difference in how they are playing now. I see they are more confident in their abilities and they are having fun when they play. We definitely recommend him! Thanks Alex!

Most importantly, our son enjoys his lessons, looks forward to them every week and has progressed significantly since working with Alex. We highly recommend lessons with Alex!

Our daughter can read music and play with expression, and Rani has even figured out a way to get her to practice with the metronome voluntarily and without complaining (any musician will recognize this major pedagogical accomplishment...)!
