“My 6 year old son has been taking piano lessons with Meng since he was 4.  She has a great way of making the lessons fun so Charlie retains the knowledge well and is very proud each time he learns something new or successfully completed a new piece of music.”

“Our older son has been taking lessons from Meng for over 6 years.  She is very knowledgeable and accommodating to our busy lifestyle.  Not only does she teach the necessary skills and technique to play, she adds relevant musical historical tidbits along with developing confidence for him to push farther. Meng’s dedication, and teaching skills are reflected in his passion for playing the piano.”

“I fell in love with listening to piano music through friends and neighbors who played. It was a lifelong dream to learn how to play piano. Although my husband and I bought a piano so our children could take lessons, I put it off until I was 65 years old, rather late to begin! Fortunately for me, when I signed up, the teacher was Meng Zhou, who was a doctoral student at Eastman at the time. Over the past six years she’s taught me to play in virtually every key and many styles, from children’s songs (for my grandkids) to classics by Bach and Chopin. You can’t imagine how happy I am to finally be able to read the bass clef and to play with both hands! Dr. Zhou is not just knowledgeable and skillful, but very patient, encouraging and adaptive. She knows when to introduce a new piece, to add music theory to the lesson, to suggest a special practice approach, or to encourage me to add dynamics. I look forward to every lesson and would highly recommend her for a teacher. And you should hear how beautifully she plays!!!”

Her positive teaching style and in-depth knowledge of music and piano playing allows her students to grow in confidence and knowledge of the piano while providing a strong musical background to their learning. Our daughter has received compliments from her classroom music teacher on her fingering and ability to quickly read music. We simply could not be more pleased.”
