I attended the group violin class and really enjoyed it so I continued with individual classes. Xin Jie is a patient, thoughtful teacher, ready to adapt to your learning pace, with well-structured lessons. Highly recommend for all ages!

Had cello classes with Xin Ying and she was friendly and patient! Corrected mistakes such as posture and bow hold promptly and consistently, even though I kept forgetting. Thank you!
