    Strong fundamentals and insightful music interpretation that will elevate your playing.

    All my students will receive a custom-tailored plan in which we will discuss goals and potential projects. The students will also receive well-annotated scores for the music they are learning after each lesson. Recording can be provided as well and students can always refer back to the video if they have any questions. Students can also contact me twice between lessons in case they encounter new problems or need clarification in their practice. Each student will be given thorough training in techniques so they can tackle all the difficult repertoire, and learn how to interpret music from different styles, such as Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and 20th Century. Most importantly, all the vigorous work will be done in a very caring, positive, and honest environment.

    About Benjamin W

    My name is Dr. Benjamin W. and I am here to help you become a better pianist! I have 10 + years of teaching experience and have taught different types of students. I understand every student is unique and the teaching method will also have to change to ensure the success of each student. Teaching for so many years has allowed me to be an expert in determining what each student needs and how to best bring out the inner musician from each of them. I am an advocate for positive learning. Students thrive the most when they learn in an encouraging environment. I will help you achieve excellence with patience, care, and positive reinforcement. When you study with me, you will not only attain strong fundamentals in technique, gain an insightful understanding of music, and you will also develop life skills such as goal setting, problem-solving, time management, motivation, purposeful practice, and many more. My students have consistently performed well and achieved high honors in piano exams, music festivals, and competitions. I think the result speaks for itself. Sign up for a trial lesson and let me help you to get to the next level!

    Finding a great piano teacher has proven to our family to be a really hard thing to do. Dr. W. has been the only teacher my daughter has been satisfied with over the 10 years she has been learning piano. He not only makes a really hard piece easy to learn but also fun. I watched my daughter go from not enjoying playing the piano to loving it. Of the two years she has been studying piano with Dr. W. she has improved significantly more than with any other teacher she has had in the past. Her music went from sounding mechanical and robotic to music with musicality. Dr. W. not only guides a student step by step to how to play the song but also tips and tricks to among practicing more effective and easy. Two years ago when Dr. W. moved my daughter studied with other teachers and none of them could make her feel like she could play the songs. She slowly became less interested in playing the piano, so during the summer we decided to visit Dr. W. and have her take a two week class from him. After those two weeks the transformation was unreal. All her previous problems that she had with other teachers that have been trying to help her for a year were resolved in those two weeks. Her piece had voice again not just notes on a page. We can’t say it enough times but Dr. W. is the best teacher we have ever had, and we 10/10 recommend him.

    Dr. Wong was amazing. My two young girls always looked forward to his piano lessons. He made it fun and cool. As a trained classical pianist myself, I know for a fact that he is using very advance techniques and breaking it down for a 5 year old to understand. He ensures that my kids don't grow up to have terrible bad habits which usually hinders their progress. It is extremely important to know that Dr. Wong is absolutely worth it no matter how far the distance is even if you don't expect your kid to be a world class pianist, he makes piano cool!
