My daughter, Tracy, after having taken lessons for several years under another teacher, became bored with piano and wanted to quit. Then we found Maria, who was able to inspire Tracy by allowing her to play modern pieces (like Green Day!) that peaked her piano interest again. She even manages to practice several times a week, which parents out there know is quite a feat! We would highly recommend Maria as a piano teacher.

It is with tremendous excitement and enthusiasm that I highly recommend Maria Soong as a piano teacher. Maria taught piano to my daughter from age 12 to 14 as well as to my son from age 8 to age 10. Prior to finding Maria, we had other piano teachers who were adequate however unable to excite the children about music the way Maria did. It was apparent from the start that of all the teachers they had, Maria was by far the favorite. The children practiced more and actually looked forward to their piano lessons. Maria is extraordinarily organized, efficient, punctual and all around buttoned-up, yet she is all of those things with an extremely relaxed personal style.

I so much enjoy my piano lessons with Maria. She is positive and encouraging and does a great job of keeping the material interesting and challenging. I can really see improvement and I'm having a lot of fun!

Maria is a wonderful piano teacher. She has been teaching my daughter, Danielle, (12 yrs old) and son, Dylan (9 years old) for the past two years. Maria paces the lessons to suit the student's personality and progress. She is very patient and pleasant. The kids love learning with her (even if they do not like to practice...) and look forward to their lessons. I highly recommend her to you.

Maria is a great piano teacher, able to play towards a student's strengths and still work on their needs. She is talented, patient, and knowledgeable, everything a piano teacher should be. Maria is dedicated to helping her students become better piano players and have fun in the process because Maria is passionate about the piano and wants to share her passion with others.
