Changed several teachers during our time here. Each time there’s a teacher change, we had to get used to their teaching style again and makes progress slow. Avoid if you want a long term teacher
Guoping Huang
My son has been taking piano lessons at the school for over two years. Ms. Molly is a fantastic teacher—professional, patient, and excellent with young students. She quickly identifies any issues and knows exactly how to address them. I would highly recommend this school.

Ms. Gao is a truly passionate and dedicated Chinese teacher. She has developed her own curriculum tailored specifically for children growing up in Canada, and my daughter absolutely love it. She even created an Chinese practice App tool, making learning both effective and engaging. My daughter especially enjoys her Chinese class. What we love most are the Lunar New Year showcase events she organizes—these performances bring the spring festival spirit alive and give overseas Chinese children a true taste of traditional culture. Both my son and daughter also take piano lessons with Ms. Rosy, who is an incredibly skilled and patient teacher. She has a solid foundation in music and always brings out the best in her students. The other music teachers here are also excellent, and the variety of instruments offered is impressive. We especially appreciate the regular performances held throughout the year—at Christmas, Lunar New Year, summer, and Halloween. Most importantly, all these showcases are completely free, giving every student the chance to perform without any pressure or extra cost. These events provide valuable opportunities for children to showcase their progress and build confidence on stage. This school feels less like an institution and more like a supportive community. We’re deeply grateful to Ms. Gao and Ms. Rosy for their dedication. This is a music school we wholeheartedly recommend!
