I have learned GuZheng from Dr. Jay Lai for several years. As I don't have any music background, her patience and gentle encouragement have helped me to grow confidence. When I am making mistakes or frustrated, she always makes things easier, gives me space to grow, and not pushing me. Also, her step-by-step guidance and teaching technique have helped me identify and fix my bad habits. She is an excellent teacher; she helps me to improve my skill and play the music with more comfort.

Ms. Jay has been teaching my daughter piano and ukulele for over six years, and we couldn't be more grateful for her dedication and talent as an instructor. Through her patience, encouragement, and creative approach, she has nurtured my daughter's love for music. Ms. Jay makes learning fun by incorporating songs my daughter enjoys and even fostering her creativity in composing music.When lessons transitioned from in-person to remote during COVID, my daughter never once wanted to stop--a true testament to Ms. Jay's ability to engage and inspire. Her passion for teaching and her skill in imparting both technical and musical knowledge have been invaluable. We feel incredibly fortunate to have Ms. Jay as our teacher and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and inspiring music instructor.
