My kid has been learning piano at Ms. Masako's music studio and loves it. Initially we learnt from Ms. Masako in a group setting and she is one of the most patient and child friendly teachers I have met. She is very encouraging and appreciates the small steps kids take towards learning music. I have since moved to private coaching with Ms. Michelle, and she is also super patient, very knowledgeable and has been guiding my child towards steady progress of piano skills. Thank you for your help with learning music, please keep up the great work you are doing!

Our child has been learning music from Ms. Masako since he was 4 years old. He started with group lessons which got him interested and then moved on to individual lessons. It's been more than 4 years and he has learned so much from her. First, Ms Masako is a fantastic teacher setting our child on the right and customized path of learning. Second, she is wonderful with children, with just the right amount of focus and patience to handle them. Third, she has a very professional studio with high-quality instruments and some of the best teachers. Fourth, she conducts at least 3 concerts every year for the children, one large at a local venue, and two small ones in her studio itself.

The concerts have helped our child lose the fear of playing in front of people and he looks forward to it. Finally, she is extremely professional and great with her communication. We highly recommend her and her studio. Lockdown: A quick note that our classes have continued even during the coronavirus lockdown through online lessons, to which have she transitioned very smoothly.

Mrs. Masako and Mr. James are two teachers that have helped my children learn and grow with their instruments. They are calm, patient, and encouraging!

To: Masako's Music Studio I would like to take this time to let you know that we feel so lucky to have our daughter under the wonderful guidance, patience and dedication of Mrs. Masako as her piano teacher. Our daughter has been taking one-on-one private piano lessons with Mrs. Masako for more than 4 years now. She has grown so much in her piano and music skills and we are so proud of her efforts and progress.

During the shelter-in-place government order, we were able to convert our in-person classes to online classes from home for the safety of our community. So far it has been no problem at all and Mrs. Masako has been very accomodating with the transitions and changes. We are happy that our daughter is still able to continue with her piano lessons during this difficult time.

Thank you Mrs. Masako and her team for providing an excellent music educational service. I highly recommend her and her staff to everyone who is considering an outstanding music education for their children, friends and family. Thank you, Exchael Eva's Mom

Music instructed by Doctor of Education, University of ILLINOIS CHAMPAIGN. I am more than happy to play piano now. My son is also very serious about practicing since she knows how to motivate young beginners.
