Testimonials
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
-Albert Einstein
I have improved so much on piano and would not have achieved nearly as much without you. Thanks for always pushing me to do better... you have given me so much more confidence.
-K. Nakajima (ARCT)
I have learned a lot from you the past two years. You have taught me how to use tricks to master difficult techniques and how to stay calm and focused during performance. Thank you for making me a better piano player and person.
-J. Chang (ARCT)
David helped me develop the confidence to really express the music to the best of my ability. His insight into practice methods other than actual playing were extremely helpful and probably crucial to my success, especially in terms of being prepared for auditions and festivals. I also liked his holistic approach to studying the piano and still use some of the stretches and exercises I learned with him on a regular basis. The level of detail with which the pieces were covered made them even more fascinating to me and my ability to analyze the pieces effectively hugely improved, which in turn increased my enjoyment in learning them.
-T. Zachary (ARCT, LLCM, B. Mus.)
Thank you for continually challenging me to go beyond my limits and excel in making beautiful music. You truly are an inspiration to me. I have learnt so much from you in these past ten years.
-C. Cheung (ARCT, LLCM, LRSM, B. Mus.)
David is extremely well organized with his lessons. I like the fact that he covers all requirements (technique, ear, sight reading, repertoire) each week, and not neglecting any one component until near exam time. Knowledgeable in piano performance and pedagogical principles, he is good at diagnosing technical challenges and offers creative practice strategies. Always patient and encouraging, and with a good sense of humor, he works well with my children at the lessons. As well, he sets realistic and achievable goals for them during the week.
-S. Chan (parent)
Every lesson you have given me was full and I always had so much to learn from you. It is still hard to believe that I was accepted to all four competitive universities I have applied, and I believe that this could not possibly happen without you. I would like to be a piano teacher like you so that students are encouraged and enjoy music.
-C. Onoe (LLCM, B. Mus)
Thank you for teaching me so well. I am very glad that I have a good teacher. I love playing the piano!
-G. Chong (9 years old)
David is not only a talented musician but knows how to pass on his knowledge, which makes him a fantastic teacher. I really appreciate how he relates class piano to our other courses and teaches us how to teach ourselves.

David's teaching skills encourage and inspire me to do the best I can and from his example, when I begin to teach, I will know how to be a great teacher.
