Piano Lessons with Jingjing

Amazing piano teacher. Jing Jing is so patient and makes piano lessons a complete joy for my 7 year old son. I can’t possibly say enough about her. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

Jingjing has been a valuable piano teacher to both my 6 year old daughter and me. My daughter was somewhat reluctant at first to learn piano, since the discipline required to learn music was new to her. Jingjing was very patient with her, while at the same time providing her with both the structure and encouragement she needed to advance. Her warmth and innate ability to connect with kids have made piano lessons a joy for my daughter, and after about 8 months she is looking forward to playing in a recital!
As for myself, I’d played several instruments in the past and was interested in learning piano and some guitar in order to have some fun and even start a band. Jingjing has tailored my piano lessons to fit my interest in several styles of music, and in a short amount of time has taught me theory, techniques, and habits I need to play my favorite music. She chooses pieces for me to practice that are tailored to help me in areas I need to improve on, and has even given me some lessons on my new guitar! She makes learning and playing music a joy for both kids and adults and I would recommend her to someone at any level of musical experience or ability.

Jingjing is a fabulous teacher. My daughter has been studying with her since 7^th grade, and in 3 years went from a beginning student to playing Mozart Sonatas and Ravel. She really knows how to inspire and keep her students moving to the next level, and is great fun. I recommend her to anyone.

I have found the perfect piano teacher! My son started taking lessons when he was about 5 with a traditional, classical teacher. He progressed very fast but by the end of the year it was a chore for him to play. We eventually stopped taking lessons and I was at a loss. I wanted him to take classes and explore and grow his love for music, but I didn’t want to sacrifice form and technique for fun. So what’s a parent to do? I wanted it all or nothing. So, we went a couple years with nothing. And then I stumbled across an ad for Jingjing. She asked what we were looking to do in the lessons and told us she could mold the class into what we wanted it to be. My main objective was for him to learn and be challenged, expand his love for the piano, and have fun. I don’t have an agenda — there isn’t a concert that he needs to know a song for. I just want the lesson to flow and she’s happy to accommodate that. However, if I did have an agenda and timeline I wanted to meet, I feel she would accommodate that as well.
My son is now 9, is beyond inquisitive, and quite a bit fidgety. None of this seems to faze her. He asks non-​stop questions about the strings and mechanics of the piano. She actually opened up the top of the piano to show him the strings and explained what happens between hitting the key and hearing the sound. For my son, this was HUGE! She follows his lead, answers his questions and then, without him even realizing, redirects him back to the lesson. Miraculous! He really enjoys classical music but Jingjing is open to playing whatever style they prefer. On his second class he asked her if she could teach him Moonlight Sonata and she smiled and agreed. There was no doubt or hesitation — just belief that he could. She watches his technique, points out nuances in the music, challenges him, applauds him, encourages him to write his own songs and has him practicing! I can’t possibly explain what a great teacher she is and how perfect she is for my son.

Jingjing is incredibly talented and lovely to work with… she has gotten my 6-​year old daughter excited to play the piano… and to practice on her own! She can engage children in ways I’ve never experienced with piano teachers before… I feel very lucky to have found Jingjing!!!
