My daughter has been with Ms. Ella since she started private lessons at age 5. It's been ten years…read moreand quite a journey. Ms. Ella genuinely cares about her students. She teaches more than finger movements or notes. Ms. Ella keeps my daughter's interest in piano by selecting pieces to her level yet challenges her. She teaches my daugher about learning, about discipline, about enjoying music and playing. She takes notes for each lesson and every recital, always noting details on how to encourage and improve how my daughter plays. My daughter just passed level 8 CM test. We continue to take weekly lessons from Ms. Ella and enjoy every lesson.

Dr. Liu is a fantastic piano teacher! She's a great teacher for any age or level of piano student…read moreand has curriculum designed for everyone. She even has a doctorate, masters, and bachelors in music and piano performance. There are a lot of opportunities for her students to perform (studio recitals, community outreach concerts, etc.) that she organizes.

She's also an incredible performer; sometimes she performs around Orange County. Highly recommend her if you're looking for a piano teacher for yourself or your child!

She genuinely cares about her students, and shows an invested interest. My daughter is a beginner at piano, and I have been taking her to Dr. Liu for weekly lessons. I like how her lesson plans are detailed out, and just right for the level of my daughter. She is great with kids, and very nice. I had my share of strict piano teachers growing up (as well as traumas lol)...so do believe me that any parent & child would be lucky to have Dr. Liu as their teacher. Highly recommended if you're looking for private piano lessons in the OC area if you want to excel at the instrument!

My boy started with Tritone in the after-school ukulele classes. It was great & he learned a lot…read more They met 2x/week in small groups. He liked learning with his friends. As he got older, he 'graduated' to guitar. His instructor even worked with us to help select a guitar that would best fit my son. Once Covid hit, we thought his lessons would be over. The instructors were so great though, they were quick to get kids on zoom lessons! He had about a 30-minute private lesson for the same price. I've done the research - they charge less than other places for one-on-one private lessons. My son has stayed on with the private zoom lessons (vs going back to after school group lessons) because it's convenient since he's in other after-school activities. His teacher, MR. TODD, is phenomenal! He's so flexible & super easy to work with. Whenever my boy has other plans or extracurricular activities change, he's so good about accommodating us. I've listened in/ watched my boy's lessons in the past; I've witnessed how good Todd is about redirecting him if he gets distracted or is being hard on himself if he feels he isn't playing well. Todd is patient & encouraging. Oh, even though he's got private lessons, he still gets to join in on the "Jingle Jam" shows during the holidays - this has become a holiday tradition for our family. It's so fun to watch all the kids! Thank you, Mr. Todd!!

He's really progressed this last year and it's amazing how quickly he picked it up. He takes lessons once a week and that's perfect to not overwhelm him or get bored. I'm hoping to also get him into year round band since it's been such a positive experience for my older son.

More importantly, Dave is a great person and a caring teacher. I'm a teacher at a local Middle School - Dave was invited/volunteered to teach some classes during our Career Days Program where we bring a variety of professionals into the public school classroom. (see attached pictures). He presented to about 120 students, in addition to teachers, parents, other community members and city officials. All of them were impressed with his patient, calm demeanor and strong communication skills. In addition to personally observing his teaching skills, I have attended some of his live performances - his groups are always a hit with spectators, businesses and other venues that book him. To sum up: An award winning musician, with top notch teaching skills, real world experience in the industry, and he cares about supporting his community - That's as good as it gets in my book - 5 stars!

I started lessons with her to ramp up on theory and complete the Certificate of Merit program, which under her direction, I did. Growing up, piano was just about reading and playing the notes. Today, I really appreciate the focus Lusine puts on technique and interpretation. This is something ingrained in her younger students, too -- they play even simple melodies with real feeling and flair. I have never felt closer and more connected to the music I play than now. I have Lusine to thank for that!
