Despite the various levels his students are in and teaching methods they need, Ive observed that hes excellent at keeping track of their individual development on the courses, and is really hands-on with all of his students. Each session is maximized well which makes for faster progress. To all parents out there, if youre looking to get your child into a fun and rewarding musical experience that they can have as a hobby, I definitely recommend piano lessons with Mr. Ko!… > From Boyce, 5 out of 5 > Have been with Dr. Ko for 5 years (on and off remotely, and in-person) and yet my son Brian still look forward to every lesson. Dr. Ko is a kind and caring teacher who focuses on techniques but also teaches ways to present during performances whether it be body language or letting your fingers rest before lifting them up. He has been supportive of my son’s journey as a musician. For example, he has helped my son to pass his audition for the music elective programme in his school and has given him many opportunities to perform in public. Hope to stay with Dr. Ko for many more years to come. > From Alex, 5 out of 5 > I started my piano journey with Dr. Ko four months back and he has been a great teacher and a mentor in this journey. He is extremely systematic in his approach and very patient with his students. He has not only helped me to improve my solo playing style but as well understand the basics and concepts of piano. Ko has a warm personality, a lot of passion and wants to genuinely see you progress becoming a well rounded pianist. He is always available to answer your queries and I would recommend him to anyone who is either beginner, intermediate or advanced player. :) > From Eduardo, 5 out of 5 > My son 8 years old son, Vincent recently joined Dr. Ko’s Studio. He thoroughly enjoys his classes with Dr. Ko. He shares that Dr. Ko is warm, encouraging and humorous in his classes. With me he communicates well, and told me clearly his goals for my son such as increasing the range of my son’s repertoire and preparing him for exams. I found Dr. Ko approach and structure very helpful in ensuring that time at his lessons are well spent. Will definitely recommend him as a piano teacher to young children. > From Joanne, 5 out of 5 > You make piano lessons so much fun and interesting. Dr. Ko makes sure that his students are engaged throughout the whole lesson. My son has been enjoying his piano lessons with Dr. Ko. He takes the time to get to know his student, works with his interests and incorporates her teaching skills and strategies into the lesson. This has really gotten my son wanting to continue piano lessons with Dr. Ko. Thank you, Ko, for listening to your customers and for being so accommodating. More power to you! > From Devon, 5 out of 5 > My 8 year old son receives wonderful piano instruction from Dr. Ko. He has been attending lessons for a year and has made tremendous progress. I am grateful that Dr. Ko teaches technique, theory and also incorporates proper posture. None of my sons previous teachers taught posture and I believe that is has helped my child excel at piano. Dr. Ko has also helped instill a love of playing in my son. He knows what he is capable of and pushes him to his level of achievement. > From Lydia, 5 out of 5 > Ive had many piano tutors (I’m adult student) in the past and could never feel seem to progress far. Dr. Ko Has however brought back the joy of piano learning. He’s very experienced and has the ability to adapt according to my needs. His teaching methods are unconventional but certainly the most effective for me. The way he articulates and provides analogies on piano techniques makes it all so much easier for me to comprehend. I love Dre Ko’s teaching and you will too. > From Michelle, 5 out of 5 > Thanks to Lesson.com, I decided to try out with Dr. Ko for piano lessons. Within a couple of lessons I felt that I wanted to continue with him in the long run as he is very patient and does not get frustrated even if you keep on repeating the same mistake, instead he will guide you until you get it right. Under his tutelage I attain a distinction Grade 5 (ABRSM) in a couple of lessons. I have decided to have my piano lessons with him all the way. :) > From Joshua, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://teachme.to/listings/piano/piano-with-dr-chuan-li-ko): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/30ff10c3-ae84-426d-b68c-bf2fc89b99b4): Read open times, get an exact quote, and book for a student. - [Agent instructions](https://api.teachme.to/agent/v1/llms.txt): Read this before calling the API.
