Introduction: I have over 24 years of piano playing experience and over 11 years of piano teaching experience. I have a Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Piano Performance and Pedagogy from the University of North Texas. I also have a Master's in Piano Performance from Eastman School of Music and a Performance Diploma from SMU. I also have taught at Tarleton State University as an adjunct Piano Professor for the semester. I have been trained in the Suzuki Piano Method for over 5 years. I can teach organized and systematic lessons for students in any level. Many of my students have attended North Suzuki Festival in Dallas and received awards. My students participate in annual recitals and have won the international piano competitions and played in Carnegie Hall in New York. Also, my students won many local piano competitions. Some of my accomplishments are winning prizes in multiple collegiate/ international level competitions (Los Angeles/Liszt, Memphis and Colorado, etc) around the country as well as performing in Carnegie Hall in New York City. I am also a member of the North Texas Music Association and I regularly have my students attend festivals and competitions so they are motivated. If you and/or your kids are interested in learning the piano, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Honestly, she's the best. I've made significant progress over the last few months I've been learning from her. She's very enthusiastic. She's really into positive reinforcement. When you learn a song with the left hand, you get a sticker, when you learn a song with the right hand, you get a sticker, when you can play with both hands, you get a third sticker. I'm 32 and for some reason, that even works for me. She hosts end of year recitals which I think would be really great for children. She's pretty flexible with the schedule as long as you tell her early on before your scheduled lesson. Her lessons are structured for sight reading, technique, theory and classical training, as well as pop songs. She will let you pick a pop song and play it if you're on that technique level, but she's honest with you if you aren't there yet. She's a great teacher, honestly. Look her up on YouTube. I felt bad that she has to listen to me play Mary Had A Little Lamb when she's basically a piano savant.

Su is very helpful and responsive from the beginning. My son likes the way she teaches piano. She knows how to make him focus and get excited during the lesson. She also pays attention to my son’ sitting and hand position while he plays the piano, which I think is very important
