We found Jennie from hearing my daughter's classmate play piano. The classmate played so well for such a young kid, and my husband asked the kid's mom how long he's been playing. Hubby was shocked to learn he'd only been at it for a year. So of course we asked for the piano teacher's information. Jennie has been a wonderful experience for my daughter, now one of her students for 4 years. Her teaching style is flexible, and she offers in-person lessons at her own home, but has also given my daughters lessons remotely via Zoom as needed/requested. My daughter is also incentive-motivated and Jennie learns her students well enough to have little stickers or stationery of favorite designs/characters ready as rewards for milestones achieved. In addition to just playing pieces, the musical education also extends to music theory, and there are annual Certificate of Merit exams with MTAC (Music Teachers' Association of America), as well as biannual recitals, so students get the benefit of performance and "official" testing/accreditation. On a personal level, it's clear that Jennie has the patience of a saint because my sensitive kid has never had a complaint, even on weeks she knows she didn't invest the time into her practice at home. Jennie is warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and sincere. We feel so lucky to have stumbled on her piano studio to help create a more rounded childhood experience for our daughter. read more

Jennie is a wonderful person and teacher. She is so patient and passionate about teaching piano. If you are lucky enough to be able to have her as a teacher and get to go to the recitals, you will be so impressed by her students that have been with her for years. They play the piano so beautifully. She is what got them there. read more

Miss Jennie has been teaching our kids piano for almost three years, and we absolutely love her. She is patient, encouraging, and professional. Our kids have grown so much, both in skill and confidence. Miss Jennie holds two recitals each year and also prepares them for the annual Certificate of Merit test, which give the kids something to work toward and be proud of. We feel very lucky to have her as their teacher and highly recommend her! read more

I took piano lessons with Ms. Jennie for 10 years and had a wonderful experience! She is very patient and encouraging, adapting to the experience level and learning pace of each student. I started lessons as a beginner, but I know other students who came in with some music background and did well. I participated in the Certificate of Merit (CM) program, so most of my curriculum was playing pieces from the different periods (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Contemporary). I was able to build ear training, sight reading skills and a strong foundation in music theory. There are also semi-yearly recitals for students and their families to show their progress and improvements. If you are looking for affordable piano lessons and are in the Lake Forest/South OC area, I would definitely recommend reaching out to Ms. Jennie! read more

We found Jennie about 7 months into my daughter's piano journey, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have her as our piano instructor. My daughter has really enjoyed Jennie's piano lessons. You can see how patient and kind she is, and her skills really show when she teaches. Her classes are consistently productive, and I can see my daughter building a strong piano foundation. Jennie takes the time to explain techniques thoroughly and motivates her students with a sticker chart system. She is not only a fantastic teacher, but I've also appreciated getting to know her personally as well. I definitely recommend Jennie! read more

My son took Jennie 's piano lessons for 8 years. Jennie was patient with my son and made sure her teaching style would fit him. During the 8 years, my son' piano technical skills and piano theory had greatly improved. My son was successfully accepted by the school advanced orchestra playing piano in his 8th grade . Jennie had also offered a semi-yearly piano recital and all the students enjoyed it. Most of Jennie's students were referred by students' parents. I highly recommend Jennie for your piano teacher! read more

My daughter took lessons from Jennie for 7 years (from 5th to 12th grade). I can tell how much my daughter enjoyed this lesson by quitting all other activities, such as violin and tennis, and continuing to take piano lessons until she graduated from her senior year. It is Jennie who made my daughter love piano like this. Jennie is my daughter's good teacher, good friend, and good advisor. I highly recommend Jennie for your piano teacher. read more
