Musicians In the Making

Candice is a fantastic piano teacher! I’m an adult student who played for 10 years as a kid, and she’s really helped me get back into it. She is good about tailoring a program to what my interests are (which definiltely keeps me engaged), at the right level (challenging but not impossible), while keeping me on task and focused on improving my skills as a pianist.
Always very patient, encouraging, and positive. After a session with her I’m always itching to practice more!
Technically strong and can give pointers on how to improve on various problems too.
Organized, timely, professional, and a pleasure to be around.
Couldn’t ask anything more from a piano teacher! Highly recommended

As someone who has a background in music and education, I have a very specific idea of what makes a good piano teacher. Candice Choi has exceeded all of my expectations. What impresses me the most is Ms. Choi’s thoughtful approach and philosophy towards teaching music. Firstly, she not only teaches her students music through theory and practice, but she also has them learning basic skills through creating their own compositions. This creates a space for creativity and expression, which I love. Secondly, she incorporates the idea of using ones music and talent to give back to the community. Once a year, she has her students perform at a nursing home so they can see that their music can positively impact others. Thirdly, every month, she organizes a performance class where she brings together peer musicians to create a community of learners. This not only provides a space for performance experience, but it also shows the students that you can create a community through your music. These three aspects of her teaching approach and philosophy not only impress me, but resonate deeply with my own beliefs around teaching children. Most importantly, it is obvious that Ms. Choi enjoys and appreciates children, thus allowing her to create a safe and fun learning environment.

Candice is such a patient, knowledgeable, passionate, and kind instructor. I recently started taking adult piano lessons with her, and she is simply amazing. I took a break from piano for about 10 years, and now I’ve started to play again. I’ve never been more motivated to learn a musical instrument. Candice uses different methods to cater to your level. She makes music fun!

I have been nothing but impressed with Ms. Choi. She is organized, professional and extremely good with her students. She has created an innovative way to teach piano that motivates children and young adults to learn quickly and easily.
In addition to our individual/​private weekly lessons, Ms. Choi offers group lessons once a month at her studio as part of the piano training experience for her students to become comfortable performing in a group setting. I highly recommend Ms. Choi.

Teacher Candice is a very good piano teacher. She is very funny and she has lots of patience to teaching the kids. Besides of the regular piano private lesson, she also invite kids to her house to have the group lesson once a month. Kids will have an individual performance that to strengthen kid’s confidence. My daughter loves teacher Candice to be her piano teacher.
