“She tailors each lesson to match my pace and goals, always encouraging me to improve while making the process enjoyable and rewarding.”

“When it comes to violin learning, it's important to have a teacher who can correct your mistakes again and again until it's fixed. Ceci does that.”

“I never have to remind her to practice — she picks up her violin on her own! If you're looking for a violin teacher who is skilled, kind, and truly dedicated to her students' growth, I highly recommend Beti. She's made a huge impact on our musical journey, and we’re so grateful!”

“Even though I started my violin lessons as an adult, she has helped me make lots of progress over the years and feel comfortable and confident in my playing. I highly recommend taking lessons from Dr. Choi!!”

“My daughter has been taking piano and violin lessons from Paul. The piano lessons since age 9 for almost 2 years now, and the violin lessons for a few months now to augment the strings music instruction at her school. He was referred by a family in our neighborhood, and he was open to trial lessons before completely signing on. He goes into music appreciation and history along with his teaching. We have also enjoyed a few recitals of his students along the way - there are three of these each year in student homes, and the anticipation of an upcoming recital is good motivation for the student to practice. For one of these recitals, Paul wrote the sheet music for a popular song that my daughter chose, since there wasn't one readily available. So he goes out of his way to customize the teaching. My daughter has progressed well, and enjoys the experience. I definitely recommend Paul. ”

“I've also had the privilege of sitting in on advanced/professional players taking violin lessons from Leon. He seamlessly transitions from topics of artistic expression to elemental techniques to musicology in the same discussion relevant to the lesson topic. In any endeavor, it's not easy coming across a master teacher. You will be in good hands, whether you are an adult starter, a child, a beginner, or an advanced player preparing for auditions, or even a professional player looking for a confidential second set of ears. Leon is also very flexible with appointments. I personally have most of my lessons during weekday day times (as I work weeknights), and some weekends. He's also accommodated emergency lessons and instrument repairs on occasions! Attached photo is of me rehearsing on the stage of the Davies Symphony Hall, and also few other adventures that opened up thanks to learning music!”
