Clients’ Testimonials

Meng has been my son’s piano teacher for almost four years. Her passion for music is encapsulated in her weekly lessons, that motivated my son to strive for perfection! We have also become close friends over the years.

My younger brother has also started to learn to play piano from Meng this year. I observed the difference in style of teaching that Meng apply to him from that to my son, as he’s much more patient and mature.

My family are so grateful to know Meng, and to continue enjoying the beauty of music with her.
