TESTIMONIALS
Shao is a very talented music teacher and patience to students. My daughter is a very picky kind of person. She changed so many music teachers until we met Shao. Shao is very responsive and accommodative which are really met our needs. The music recital was great and I was impressed to see how good all his students were in performing. I can see his passionate in teaching and all of his students like stars on the stage! Good job to Shao and all his students!
My son and I started learning with Shao since about four months ago. Shao is very passionate and knowledgeable in violin teaching. He observes my son’s interest and adapts his teaching in a way that can engage my son more. That is very helpful for young children. He also introduced many fun practice exercises my son and I enjoy doing together. Happy to keep learning with Shao.
My son began violin lessons with Mr. Shao at age 6. With a strong music and violin background, Mr. Shao's patient teaching style is tailored for young learners. As my son's first instructor, he emphasizes fundamental violin skills, instilling a solid foundation for instrument handling. Mr. Shao goes beyond technicalities; he inspires a deep understanding of the instrument and the joy of musical expression. Under his guidance, my son not only learns to play but discovers the meaning of music, enjoying the process of self-expression through the violin. Thanks to Mr. Shao, my son has entered a captivating world of music, guided by a dedicated and inspiring teacher.
