Testimonial from a parent

My kids started their lessons with Tak in 2013 and since then, they have improved and learned so much! Through their lessons with Tak, I’ve been impressed by their development of skills, and the numerous performance opportunities provided. They’ve also built the confidence through the positive instruction and have built a great relationship with not only their instrument, but with Tak as well. He has a large knowledge on music and takes time to learn more about my children and put their best interests forward. He also teaches with enthusiasm to make my kids genuinely want to play the violin. Tak is also very flexible in terms lessons: he takes a lot of time to focus on things the kids need to work on and continuously provides feedback to improve their skill level and musicality. He is super kind and genuine, but also fair in terms of criticism and I think that is what truly has allowed my children to excel. For example, both my children have attended Kiwanis Music Festivals and every year, Tak makes them feel comfortable and confident playing their pieces. Additionally, for exams, Tak gives detailed instruction in order to properly prepare for a successful exam. Tak has taken my kids from identifying strings to learning complex pieces and he is truly one of the most hard-working and dedicated teachers out there and I am so glad to have him as my kids’ teacher!
