Testimonials

When I first came to Rhapsody Piano Studio 6 years ago, I was pretty much an amateur, in fact I could hardly read music! And through Ms. Lin’s lessons, I’ve not only progressed greatly but have developed a real passion for piano and practice.

What I’ve noticed about Ms. Lin’s teaching style is she adapts it to fit each student’s unique needs. With me, she’s had a very patient approach which has allowed me to naturally develop my own love for playing the piano (so much so that I feel like it’s become a part of my personality!). She also isn’t afraid of connecting at a personal level and many a time she’s actively listened to my own problems.

I have loved studying at Rhapsody Piano Studio since day one. If you’re looking for teachers who blend both musical expertise and personal skills, I highly recommend studying here!

My 7 year old daughter Riley has been taking piano lessons from Mr. Warren near the beginning of 2016. When I was looking for a piano teacher for her I was hoping to find someone who would teach her more than just music. I was fortunate enough to find Mr. Warren and he has not only met but exceeded my expectations of what it means to be a piano teacher. In addition to being Riley’s teacher, he is also her mentor, supporter and a male role model. On our initial phone call, I had shared that I am divorced from Riley's father and that I wanted her to have piano as an outlet. I had expressed how Riley needed some help opening up and as an extremely shy little girl she was lacking in confidence. Mr. Warren has been such a blessing for us as he has continued to encourage and challenge Riley. He is very receptive and open to suggestions/feedback and makes piano lessons fun. I am extremely grateful for what Mr. Warren has done and is continuing to do for my daughter. He has been such a positive influence on her. He is not just there to teach her how to play the piano... Mr. Warren genuinely cares!! Thank you for all that you do for her!! Riley and I appreciate you!!

My three children have been taking piano lessons from Mr. Lee since 2013. Since switching teachers I have seen a drastic improvement in their playing, practice and experience. What's amazing to me is how I don't have to push my children to practice or even remind them. I also appreciate that he gives them clear, simple instructions so they know what to practice, when to practice, and how to practice. Thank you Mr. Lee for teaching them how to love and enjoy music!

My two sons have been taking piano lessons from Mr. Warren since 2010. I really appreciate how Mr. Warren monitors and adjusts his teaching to meet each of their abilities and needs. My kids are motivated to work hard at practice and look forward to piano lesson day!

After being inspired by Ms. Lin's virtuosic compelling performance, I approached her because I wanted to enhance my piano playing.

Ms. Lin helped me by catering to my specific needs as an amateur piano student, in which she supported me by understanding my ultimate passion for music.

The result was a gratifying experience because I now have an improved and effective piano practice technique that I never once had. More than that, I can manage skills that were never once acquired before, such as sight reading piano music in an effective manner.

One specific item I liked and enjoyed about Ms. Lin's teaching was her unique approach in utilizing a variety of technique for students. She is a promising teacher who never limits piano playing to one style.

I found the experience rewarding and heartwarming - as a student and as a friend.

I would recommend Ms. Lin to anyone who wants to begin a joyous piano journey. Whether you're an amateur piano student just like me, or a serious pianist in the making, Ms. Lin will be the one and only piano teacher and friend you'll remember a lifetime.

When I first transferred to Ms. Lin, I was an amateur pianist- and I'm still learning- who learned by raw practice with no technique or finesse. But since then, I feel like Ms. Lin helped me quite a bit in improving my memorization skills, my technique, as well as playing musically. She is a great listener and often tunes her teaching style to fit each student (as I have observed between my brother and I), and many times over, Ms. Lin has been willing to work with me, even when I became frustrated with the lessons or a particular piece of music.

Ms. Lin knows how to push her students to their limits and encourages all of us to work hard. She doesn't let us make excuses for ourselves and is determined to shape us into better pianists, even when something is particularly hard to master. Ms. Lin isn't just a teacher, but also someone who deeply connects to each one of her students, often resulting in a great friendship between teacher and student.

Ms. Lin works well with many types of people and I think her patience is one of her greatest assets. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to learn piano as a hobby or future career.

Ms. Lin has a unique and patient teaching style that she can cater to any type of learner. I really enjoy taking lessons and have improved my piano skills a lot. After four or so years of lessons, I am now a CM advanced level student.

My daughter is 6 years old and she has been taking piano lessons since December 2016. Mr.Warren is my daughter's piano teacher. He is a kind person and really care for his students. Especially, he motivates my daughter and makes piano lessons more fun than stressful. My daughter has started piano lessons with Mr.Warren for only 6 months but she improves a lot and she enjoys practicing and playing piano at home without forcing. My daughter had her first recital last month and that was so awesome. Mr.Warren makes my kid become a star and I feel so proud of her. My daughter and I are so lucky to have Mr.Warren as her piano teacher. I remember during the first week of the piano class, I was struggling to find a piano for my daughter, Mr.Warren did offer to help me find a piano for my daughter. He was looking on amazon and sent me the link so it made easier for me to buy a piano because I have no experience about any kind of instruments. In addition, if I have any questions and I email or text him, I always get the fastest response from him. So even I do not have time to take my daughter to his class and sit in the class to wait for the lesson but I always know how my daughter is doing in his class because Mr.Warren has a good in touch with parents of the students. He is such a awesome piano teacher!!!!

When I was a kid, piano was something I always wish I could have learned. So being able to play piano as an adult has been an amazing experience and I am grateful to study with Warren.

I’ve been taking piano lessons for a whole year and Warren has made the learning process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I look forward to practicing and not once has it felt like “work.” That’s not to say it hasn’t been challenging, but he has great resources (his own YouTube videos) which make playing a whole lot easier. And the music books he teaches are engaging and entertaining.

Not only have our lessons been fun, but he’s been very understanding when it comes to my schedule. When I began my Master’s Degree program I considered stopping piano lessons, but Warren has found ways to keep the lessons enjoyable with the limited time I sometimes have.

Warren is an exceptional instructor who makes sure all my needs are fulfilled. Not only have I learned a lot about playing piano, he’s also been able to give me a lot of tips for studying and time management.

I’m looking forward to this next year of piano lessons, thank you so much!
