About
I possess superior expertise and technical proficiency compared to the typical piano teacher, yet I do not seek compensation at the same rate as a university professor. Additionally, I do not limit lesson time and am happy to extend sessions as necessary.

I take great pleasure in imparting the gift of music, which possesses a vitality that is truly remarkable. It is my honor to serve as a conduit for this light to shine upon those around me. The art of creating and transmitting musical expression is a miraculous experience, one that never fails to capture my deepest awe and admiration.

After 14+ years of private lessons, I arrived at Fred's studio missing the structure that came with regular piano lessons. Despite my experience, I longed for the motivation and encouragement that a weekly lesson brings. Thankfully, Fred has reignited my passion for the instrument by providing the structure I craved. His approach focuses on exploring the composer's intentions and performing with feeling and expression, rather than wasting time with basic principles. At times, I feel anxious when I haven't practiced before a lesson and consider cancelling. However, I always leave feeling grateful that I didn't, as Fred consistently teaches me something new and reignites my enthusiasm for the next week.

Fred Song is an exceptional piano instructor with a wealth of knowledge in classical piano. With over two decades of experience, he began playing at the tender age of six. His teaching techniques help reduce any discomfort that could arise from playing and build up your endurance over time, ensuring you're injury-free. Using his teachings, you'll learn to use your entire body as opposed to just your fingers. Fred covers a variety of techniques such as single and double rotation, to mention a few. Fred is an ardent instructor who deeply appreciates his students' success. He charges only $30 for every lesson, which is remarkable, considering his level of expertise. He also goes the extra mile to teach at his students' homes, enabling them to learn on their personal pianos. You would be hard-pressed to find a more patient, skilled, and committed piano instructor than Fred Song!

Although I had not taken piano lessons for quite a while, Fred's wonderful teaching skills made me feel at ease and quickly get back into the groove. He has an excellent ability to instruct at any level of expertise and incorporates music theory into his lessons, providing an understanding of the inner workings of music in addition to learning how to play. With his contagious passion for music, you too will undoubtedly become enthusiastic about it. I would highly advocate taking lessons from him if you are interested.

After just a few sessions with him, my daughter's piano playing has improved significantly. I was worried because she had given up playing for a whole year and her previous lessons were monotonous. However, Mr. Song has made learning enjoyable for her, resulting in a fun and educational experience.

My 8-year-old granddaughter is taught by Fred. Every week, she eagerly anticipates her lessons and adores him. Fred has established an excellent relationship with her, and she is enthusiastic about completing the tasks. I wish my piano instructors had shown the same level of enthusiasm!
