He is very kind and patient, and our son always looks forward to his piano classes. He helped our son complete two RCM levels, and we're so grateful for his guidance. Mr. Felix listens to the kids, encourages them to be creative, and teaches them based on their interests. At the same time, he gives them a gentle push when needed to keep them motivated and on track with their RCM goals. He is also great at keeping parents updated, with clear communication, planning, and instructions, so we always know what to expect. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better piano teacher for our son. Also, the front desk staff are amazing! They are always friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We highly recommend We Play Music to anyone looking for a great music school.

My son absolutely looks up to him as the "GOAT" and has started taking his drumming so much more seriously because of his mentorship. What makes Mr. Joseph truly stand out is how exceptionally well he prepares students for the big stages. Whether it's practicing for individual recitals or keeping up with the intense precision needed for drumline, his teaching style is spot-on. He knows exactly how to motivate kids, build their confidence, and teach excellent technique. We are so grateful for his dedication over the years!

We found Jennie from hearing my daughter's classmate play piano. The classmate played so well for…read moresuch 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.

I am incredibly grateful for my time at Opus and with Teacher Ethan; playing piano with him remains one of my most cherished memories, and I miss it deeply. I have never encountered a piano teacher who cares for his students the way Teacher Ethan does. He doesn't focus solely on outcomes or performance, but teaches with a holistic approach and extraordinary generosity of time and heart. He has cultivated a lifelong appreciation for music not only in me and my family, but in countless other students, teachers, and classical music enthusiasts. Teacher Ethan is compassionate, gracious, and deeply committed to his students at every stage of life. He meets students exactly where they are and teaches with creativity and intention, ensuring they truly understand the music they are approaching. He has a remarkable ability to turn my "I can't" into "I can." On top of it all, he is incredibly funny, and his classroom is always filled with joy. Because of my time with Teacher Ethan and Opus, piano transformed from a small hobby into a way of life. I would not have won numerous piano competitions or earned a full scholarship to attend university without his guidance. I truly cannot imagine my life without the years I spent learning under his teaching. In all honesty, I would give anything to sit in his classroom again and learn piano with him once more. Thank you, Opus 119 and Teacher Ethan, for the profound and lasting impact you have left on me and my family.

I studied with Director Ethan Dong, who has truly been like a second parent to me. He is one of the most caring, supportive, and knowledgeable teachers I know. He treats his students like his own and is always there for us. He showed up for me at every competition and every concert, offering constant encouragement and guidance. Under his mentorship, I had the opportunity to perform on stages across the United States and was inspired to pursue a piano performance degree at a conservatory. The level of dedication he gives his students is unparalleled. My lessons with him were incredibly fun, yet thoughtful and challenging. He consistently pushed me to reach my fullest potential and believed in me even during times when I felt lost. I am grateful for my time at Opus 119 and will always cherish the education and memories I gained there. Thank you for all that you've done for me, Teacher Ethan!
