Kiki is a brilliant teacher. I was born blue baby and had no oxygen to my brain. I was in special education classes since kindergarten. Kiki was capable to teach me piano when I lost my memory, and most of my body functions due to an almost deadly car accident. She is a positive, gentle teacher. Kiki has developed for me a lesson plan specific for my special learning needs. Kiki has made a special color coded note book and this has helped me pass the class. -- by Annette Alaimo
 

Kiki is an effective teacher who is extremely patient and kind. My 15 year old son and 14 year old daughter have been students of Kiki for the past 10 years and still are current students.

Our son Theo (14)  and daughter Gabriela (11) have been Kiki's piano students for the last 4 years. They had been to few other teachers before they came to Kiki. Her piano teaching skills and mentoring skills are exceptional. She has become a part of our children's life and has greatly enhanced their growth, both in their piano, musical skills and social skills. She is very talented, friendly, motivating, understanding and also very disciplined in her approach to teaching. If we had more time in our day, We would have loved to take piano lessons from Kiki. -- by Nancy & Augustine Joseph

I was Kiki's student for seven years; my sister, for five. Throughout the years, Kiki always pushed me to be the best musician I could be with her selection of pieces, technical and expressive advice, and involvement with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music examination system, and she never hesitated to take me to inspiring concerts and recitals. I'm so grateful to have had Kiki as my piano teacher!" -- by Jessica Ng

Teacher Kiki is the most passionate piano teacher I ever have. She guided me to fall in love with music, enjoys playing piano instead of just learning for the sake of learning. I also learned that piano doesn't limit to classical music, there are no boundary in the world of music, let it be oldies, pop songs. Although I was not taught by her at the later stage of my piano lessons due to her move to oversea, her encouragements has keep me on track in pursuing my music dreams, and continue to enjoy playing music. She is the one that enlighten my world of music. -- by Ng Chin Yin

Teacher Kiki is the kind of teacher you would most likely keep in your life for a longggg time, even after you are no longer her student (more than a decade and counting in my case)! She's patient and firm, so you can't get away with not finishing your homework but you can be sure that you'd have learnt lots by the end of every hour! -- by Bernice Lim
