Kathy Lam
Introduction: I have been teaching piano for 10 years. I am experienced in teaching students three years old upwards, from elementary level to diploma. Lessons consist of notes reading, beats training, oral skills, listening skills, theory and exam preparation. Students can choose the elements they want to focus on. For kids, I use a more interactive approach to make every lesson interesting for them.
I can teach in English, Cantonese and Mandarin fluently. I am a certifications holder of world-famous music schools: Royal Schools of Music and Trinity Guild Hall.

Kathy is such an amazing teacher! My 6-year-old started with Kathy as a complete beginner and is now able to do short pieces on her own. Kathy is very patient with my kid. She explains the piano pieces and music theory very well and assigns homework every week. Kathy helps our daughter build a solid foundation in piano. My daughter enjoys piano lesson with Kathy a lot.

My 7-years-old daughter takes private piano lessons with miss Kathy L. She is very nice, and warm hearted, yet strict and firm. Ms. Kathy is a kind, patient, and experienced piano teacher, exactly what I need for my daughter!

Kathy has been teaching our 8 year old daughter piano lessons for 6 months. She's very gentle but firm, and my daughter really enjoys her piano lessons, as well as practicing during the week. This is the first time my daughter has had piano lessons and she has certainly improved a great deal since we started with Kathy. We purchased the Alfred's Basic Piano Library - Complete Level 1, Lesson Book & Theory Book. Kathy gives homework each week, and they work through at least one new song a week. Kathy is prompt, responsive and is super with kids. So pleased we found her. Wish she also teaches tennis, ice skating...

Kathy is a wonderful Teacher! I am 23 years of age and am learning the fundamentals of music theory and she explains it very well. She also gives me the opportunity to work on Classical as well as Pop music on the piano. Ever since I've been working with Kathy I can see that I am making outstanding improvements in my piano performance.

Kathy is a great teacher! I started taking lessons from her in June 2016 as a complete beginner and I can already play small pieces with sight reading. She is patient and very encouraging. She does a great job at keeping the lessons fun and challenging.
