He is a true Professional when it comes to teaching Piano. His knowledge and passion for the Piano shows every Lesson. Thank you Brian. 5 stars!!

Linh Lanh: Anahid is an excellent piano instructors. Probably one of the best piano teachers I have taken. I have played piano for 10 and everyday coming to Anahid 's class, I still am learning new variations and techniques which enable me to move forward. She is comfortable working with students at any level and is fun to spend time with. I highly suggest Anahid to any student who interested in learning or sharpening their piano skills.

Nikole Zhang: I have been taking piano lessons from Anahid since Oct 2018. I came to her with a clear goal of getting admission into university piano performance program, and Anahid has been a great help since the very first lesson. She is very experienced in RCM programs and was guiding me through the audition requirements and helped me selected the audition repertoires. I feel very lucky that I found her to be my teacher. Every lesson was a fruitful session with a great deal of fun.Being an adult student with some piano training when I was a teen, I was able to play to a certain level but not confident with my technical skills and analytical skills. Anahid, being a professional pianist herself, can spot the problems immediately and efficiently help me correct and improve on it. Her mechanism in piano playing really helped me advance my skills as well as my expressiveness in performance. Her deep love to music and her passion into teaching truly benefits students who study under her.To me, Anahid is much more than a piano teacher. She is a dear friend to talk to, a guidance in music, and a mentor who offers great pep talk.

Samia Kadari: Anahid is a very nice person with a really big heart. She is very interactive with my children, sweet and an amazing teacher.Thank you for all you do for your students!

reema pittie: Teaching adults is more difficult than children and require some skills that Anahid has in abundance. She is patient and provides a lot of direction when teaching the basics but let's you have fun with simple and tricky songs at the same time. Each class is a mix of the above two and before long you have confidence while being challenged.

Shreya Sinha: Anahid is an excellent instructor and is very talented. I am a beginner adult and started taking lessons with her this past year. I have very little musical knowledge/experience, but I always had an interest since childhood. Her methods of teaching are very effective. She not only teaches the content but also is attentive and provides key feedback in terms of technique. I walk away from each class learning something new. Also being a beginner adult, I truly appreciate her patience and kind personality. She also takes the time to get to know her students, which is very nice. I am excited to continue my lessons this year and look forward to working with Anahid!

Andrew Vodopia: I have been taking lessons with Anahid for about half a year. I am an adult learner who had some basic experience when I started with her and in a relatively short period of time I feel much more confident in my playing. She has helped me to refine my practice technique and understand how to play the music expressed by the notes, rather than just the notes themselves.Anahid teaches with a friendly and encouraging style, while also challenging her students to push themselves. With her help I am preparing for an RCM exam this summer and learning more and more complicated pieces. And in the mark of a truly good teacher, I always leave lessons with her able to actually hear how I have improved over the course of the lesson.Anahid is a great teacher and I can confidently recommend her to anyone looking to learn piano.

Chris Wang: Anahid is one of the best piano teacher I've ever studied with. She is very passion about her job, and enjoy teaching very much. Throughout almost 4 years study with her, I enjoyed every moment.I am an adult student with some basic skills when I started study with Anahid. She understood my background very well and every new piece she gave me is very personalized to train one of the piano playing skills. Because I am a huge fun of classical music, she also considered my opinion on music selection. She often send me a list of music and ask me which one I want to work next. The way she trained me was also very academic. The pieces I worked on were diversify, from baroque to impression, from Bach to Beethoven to Greg. She kept a good balance between "fun" and "academic style", which made all her lessons both enjoyable, and effective.When study a new piece of music, Anahid never satisfied with just a play through. This to her is just the first step. We often discuss the music theory behind each piece, as well as the history and the composer. She also gave me a lot room for my interpretation. When I played on the semi-annual performances she held for all her student each year, I was confident that I was performing, not just play the right notes. I often saw Anahid teaches younger student. Her attitude was both encourage and discipline. The satisfaction and proud on the parents' face were the best approval. It is very sad that I have to move to San Francisco and end my piano journey with her.A good piano teacher is not about how fast he or she can play Liszt's etudes, but what the student can learned from the teacher. A piano lesson shouldn't just about teaching how to play the right note, but about how to enjoy the music while playing. Anahid belongs to few great teachers that reach those high standards.

Jane Ahmon: Anahid has been teaching our son, Matthew, piano for the past several years. She is a wonderful teacher and has been "instrumental" in inspiring a love of music and piano in our son. Anahid has that rare quality of pushing children to try their best to fulfill their potential, yet doing so in a way that doesn't overwhelm them or cause them to be discouraged. Matthew has gone from just learning how to play a few years ago, to competing in an international piano competition and performing at Carnegie Hall last year! She is an exceptional teacher and has been amazing to work with. She really knows how to relate to our son in an encouraging--yet disciplined--and playful and loving way.

Tamara Hoover: My seven year old daughter has been working with Anahid for the past 3+ years. To say that Anahid is amazing, wouldn't come close. My daughter was deaf until the age of four. However, she let us clearly know that she wanted to play the piano. Unfortunately, no other teacher would even consider taking a four year old deaf girl. We had even tried three or four other teachers, but they just couldn't handle our daughter. Anahid did. As the years went on, our daughter was also diagnosed with ADHD. But did that stop Anahid? No. She continued with her saint-like level of professionalism. Recently, my daughter passed the first test of the Royal Conservatory of Music with First Class Honours. I know next year, she'll be able to pass the second test with Anahid as her teacher. Thank you. We couldn't have done it without you.

John: Highly recommend this place -- Meng has been an amazing teacher so far! I've been able to make progress at a faster than I thought I would. The emphasis on technique has been very valuable.

Laura Stillo: for a well-rounded curriculum. Additionally, she is kind and patient. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning piano for the first time, or picking it up again as an adult.

Anish Anand: Really great instructor, she helped push me to do my best in each lesson and I would recommend this to anyone!!

Huiqi Fan: Just finished my almost 2 yrs piano lessons and I can’t say more than thank you! I am leaving NYC so I can’t continue my lesson with Meng, but I did learn a lot from the 2 yrs lesson as a beginner, she always altered the lesson plans based on my situation, and the lesson is comprehensive with a lot of techniques, I can def feel my progress!! She is so encouraging and passionate. This is one of the best decisions I made during the pandemic, piano really helps me to fulfill my life better. Highly recommend her class, thank you!!

Sang Jun Lee: My daughter is 5 years old.She learns more while taking piano lessons.Ms Meng can teach very easily with games, quizzes and music note.Her teaching style is creative.I am happy that my daughter is learning the piano for the first time with interest in it.

googo151: Positive:Communication,ProfessionalismI've had many music teachers and know a thing or two, about great teaching quality, practice and communication. Meng is a first rate piano & music teacher. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn piano. I will most definitely be studying with her for a long while.

Annie Hart: Meng is an amazing teacher! I've taken 4 lessons with her so far, 3 in person a few years ago and 1 on Zoom during the pandemic and all times I have learned so much! She is a great teacher for people who want to learn correct technique quickly. She gets straight to the point and really pays attention to all aspects of my playing. I feel like her lessons are a great value for the price and leave me with a lot to practice and absorb after the lesson. I have heard my abilities and sound improve dramatically.

Alex McGourty: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityI cannot recommend lessons from Meng enough! Unlike teachers I’ve had at other instruments, Meng always has a plan for lesson and has a plan for my growth as a pianist. She knows perfectly well what I need at each step of my learning and I’m amazed at how my playing has improved in just a few months. Highly recommend!

William Howard: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Qualitymeng has a gift for being able to communicate complex musical ideas clearly, ideas that when applied to my playing really work she’s great.

Yao Yu: I'm an adult beginner and I have been taking lessons with Meng for half a year now, and will wholeheartedly recommend her as a piano teacher with no reservations.Because of Covid-19, all of our lessons so far have been through Zoom meetings. Even so, I am thoroughly impressed by how well Meng picks up the details in my playing, and how clearly she communicates even the finest points about piano techniques and musicality through demonstrations and analogies. Aside from techniques, she also incorporates music theory, sight reading, and ear training into the lessons for a comprehensive curriculum that I don't feel constrained at all by the online format.I've really enjoyed the learning experience and can feel myself improve with every lesson. Aside from her expertise in piano, Meng is a great teacher because she cares a lot about music and her students. She comes to each class well-prepared with a thoughtful lesson plan, patiently helps me identify problems and find the right remedy for it. Even though she sets high standards that seem intimidating to me at first, she is always very encouraging and has more confidence in my abilities than myself sometimes. I can see how she works hard to help students realize the potential that they did not even know they had.

Romulo Padilla: Meng is amazing. Everything is very clean and sanitized to ensure safety. She is fantastic at scaling up or down on the difficulty of the lessons to match my skill progression. Meng is also very attentive during the lesson allowing us to quickly cover many topics. Since I started I’ve noticed remarkable improvement in my technique and sight reading. I highly recommend her lessons.

mercedes lopes: when there for a 35$ trial and she is amazing and gentle she explains thing in such an easy manner can't wait to start my piano lesson with her she a amazing.

Nikisha Lee: Meng is amazing!! We interviewed four teachers in total and Meng stayed at the top of the list from the first encounter. My two children love being taught by her and are progressing quite well. We all look forward to each lesson. My son, who was not confident at all, was a bit hesitant about taking lessons but agreed to commit to at least one year. Meng has made him so comfortable that he practices without any reminders from me! My daughter had studied piano a few years back with a different teacher, but due to various circumstances could not continue. Three years had passed and we really didn't know her level. Meng was able to pinpoint her level quickly and challenge her while at the same time boost her confidence. We are truly thankful 🙏.

Ivanna Cheban: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueFirst lesson in 20 years. Meng is such joy to work with! Super attentive and works with your end goal in mind. I just wanted to refresh my childhood skills and play a music piece. She’s wonderful! Look forward to working with her more.

Marcelle de Soares: We did a trial piano lesson with Ms. Yang and my daughter enjoyed it very much and was looking forward to taking another lesson with her. My experience so far has been excellent, as Ms. Yang responds quickly to inquiries and is very professional.

Ran Bao: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueMs. Yang is a very professional and patient teacher. My five year old boy loves to learn from her. After giving class, the teacher always communicates with parent how to help kid practice at home.

Francesc Fernandez: Ms. Yang has been my piano instructor for the last year. I am having private piano lessons with Meng on a weekly basis. Being a student of hers has been a wonderful and one of the most rewarding experiences from which I have learned so many great techniques which I include in my pieces.Meng goes out of her way to teach me, not only piano performance but also music theory and composers that helped me to understand and perform better. I highly recommend Meng as an instructor for professional and/or beginners! She is amazing!
