Finding the right piano teacher can be stressful for parents and students. The teacher needs to be…read moreknowledgeable, approachable, firm but kind, and a great fit for the student. Our daughter had had several other teachers who were fine but not fantastic. Last year, we were fortunate to come across Joy Han. An acquaintance of ours spoke highly of her, so we contacted Joy to schedule a tryout. From the very beginning, Joy demonstrated care, knowledge, and passion for music that was a great fit for us. She has students with many different ability levels, and our daughter has thrived under her tutelage. Joy makes lessons fun and productive while making sure the kids push themselves to get better. Striking that delicate balance between firm and kind is an art, and Joy is an artist in that regard. If you would like to have your child (or even adult) student succeed in their piano growth, I recommend you contact Joy and see what I mean. She is great.

I have taken lessons from Joy Han for over ten years, and although it has been many years since I…read moreleft for college, I still remember and bask in thankfulness for Ms. Han. Whenever I enjoy and appreciate classical music--especially the piano pieces, I am always reminded of Ms. Han's incredible skills and her passionate heart for teaching us students. She runs with a relentless pursuit of excellence for all of her students. I learned to do my very best in learning theory, practicing at home, and in confidently performing at recitals, competitions and auditions. As for professionalism, Joy Han is the most professional one can be. She is always punctual and very organized. We always have a consistent lesson plan, with a scheduled homework plan. The smaller private setting also provides her the opportunity to build a teacher-student relationship--so she will remember how much progress you made by practicing at home. Ms. Han has also taught two of my younger brothers as well. They too reflect on our past days of piano lessons with Ms. Han and wouldn't have traded the experience with another teacher. We miss you Ms. Han! Thank you for imparting your passion and joy for music onto me, John, and Sam!

She has an enormous repertoire and knows how to pace the learning to keep kids motivated. My kids built confidence and developed discipline and understanding and appreciation of music to last their lifetime. Additionally, although Marsha is very popular, she makes scheduling and payment easy. She is reliable but flexible and understanding when emergencies arise, and she keeps her prices doable. We highly recommend enrolling your child in music with Marsha. She will be a talented and knowledgeable role model they will never forget in their lives!

In the last few months, my daughter's voice has evolved into something beautiful and "come into its own." Even her chorus teacher is complimenting her and telling me how great she sounds. Marsha has given her the tools she needs to sing at her best potential, and to help build her confidence. The proof is the pudding--my daughter is singing a solo tonight--the first she's ever gotten. Thanks, Marsha!

I really appreciate how patient Elena is to young kids. My son has enjoyed his lesson tremendously and has grown a lot since then. Elena has a great selection of songs that are not only age and level appropriate but also sound beautiful. She takes her time to teach him music theory, improve his technique and most importantly build up his love for music. We don't have to ask him practice piano at home, but he'd rather play piano to us because he's so excited to show us his new songs, or to show us his progress, which is a beautiful thing to see. He doesn't just learn piano at Elena, I can also see him learning how to be focused, patient, how to deal with frustration when he can't play certain part of a song well, how to not give up, how to keep showing up and practicing. I can't put into words how much we appreciate Elena for teaching him all of that. Thank you so much, Elena!
