Here some testimonials by her student and a parent -
Cabelle, mother of 5 year old student, Megan:
"Ms Tan is the best piano teacher I have come across so far. Handling young children requires lots of patience and love and Ms Tan has it all. She is able to handle the temperament of my 5 years old child who at times can be mischevious. She is firm and effectively provide scaffolding for her to excel.
Her professional studio has 2 pianos showing her dedication towards music. She will use one piano to demonstrate while my child uses the other piano.
Ms Tan, thank you for teaching Megan and all the best to you in your music career.
Regards, Cabelle"
Ben, adult student:
"Ms. Tan is definitely a good Piano teacher as she is skillful, knowledgeable about the Piano and patient enough towards her students.
I was one of her adult students. Initially, I hesitated to start for a lesson due to my age. Yet Ms. Tan encouraged me by giving positive remarks and favorable suggestions after knowing my concerns.
With her sincere encouragements and words, I decided to give it a try under her teaching. Indeed, she didn’t disappoint me with her expertise. All her teaching methods / approaches are very positive and encouraging.
One more remarkable attribute about Ms. Tan is that she is there for a teaching passion not for a profit. Students / Parents of a child can be assured of her teaching ethical as no “sales-talk” is involved along the lessons. She could be the professional in teaching trade.
Lastly, I would definitely recommend her as the Piano Teacher whenever someone is looking for a Professional (Piano Teacher).
Sincerely, Ben Khoo"
