TESTIMONIALS

"Rachel Cho's teaching is fantastic because it is clear to understand and she

makes sure everything is correct before the end of the lesson. She encourages

students to perform in public and build skills like getting over stage fright. She

tries to make students feel that they have the chance to be a great musicians

and a performers. In two semesters she has taken my piano playing to a new

level. She recognized my strengths and was able to build on it. Now I am

becoming a really good jazz pianist and I owe it to Mrs. Cho. She is a fantastic

pianist and teacher and I can't say enough about her. I'm just glad to have had

the opportunity to learn from her."

"My name is Ashla Glass-Johnson, and I have had the privilege of learning from

one of the best, most talented jazz pianists/musicians in the industry, Mrs.

Rachel Cho. In 2 semesters this lady has taken me to another level of skills. I still

have a long way to go, but with her strong teaching abilities it won't be long. I

am a more mutuel musician and started playing piano 2 years ago. I now have

been able to get jobs playing in the industry, and am very excited about my

future as a gospel/jazz musician/singer. She recognized my gift as a singer, and

always shows many different techniques for enhancing and building my

musicianship in total to allow me to do both sing and play. I love her methods of

teaching, and her truthfulness of my progress. She is awesome!"

"My children have been taking piano lessons from Rachel Cho for 4 years. I was

so inspired by her instructional style that I decided to also take up piano lessons

from her. She taught me a whole new way of understanding music that I wished

I had learned 30 years ago. She is wonderful with the children and keeps the

process of learning fun and fresh. Although she teaches classical style piano

lessons, she also emphasizes music composition, memorization of their musical

repertoire, ear training of popular music and stage manners.

She has a very natural ability to gauge when to push the children to try harder and

when to change up the learning style to meet their emotional needs at the time. My

children have learned so much from her and she has made learning how to play

the piano such a positive experience."

"Rachel Cho is an amazing pianist and instructor. She encouraged me to play

the music I loved but also stretched me beyond my comfort zone. I was

astounded at the progress I made in only a few months of working with her. I

was experienced in classical piano, but she took me to the next level. Plus, she

gave me a very firm footing in jazz and composition, two areas where I really

wanted to grow. A lesson with Rachel is always time well spent." -Michelle C.-

"When my daughter asked me if she could begin piano lessons again after a 3

years break, I was hesitant and unsure. She was not always eager to practice

and I was concerned about re-investing in an activity that was going to be done

half-heartedly. How surprised and elated I am with her remarkable progress after

only two years of lessons with Rachel. I knew from our very first visit that we had

found the right teacher for our daughter. She was flexible in her approach and

willing to listen to our daughters' likes and dislikes which meant she was playing

pieces that truly resonated with her musical taste. Listening to her play, you

would think she has been a pianist all her life. Thank you Rachel for

harmoniously putting my daughter on her musical path and for allowing her to

express her creativity through the piano."

"Mrs. Rachel Cho is one of the most accomplished piano teachers and it is such

a privilege to be able to train under her. My son and I both take piano lessons

from Mrs. Cho and we have continued to progress and develop our skills under

her careful guidance. But the most wonderful aspect of our teacher is the joy,

kindness and patience she brings to each lesson. Neither of us would ever wish

to miss a lesson."

" Ms. Rachel has been an amazing teacher for my 7 years old son since he was

6 years old. She has a special way with young ones. She made learning the

piano fun by going beyond teaching theory. My son looked forward to learning

to play songs he personally selected and learned through ear training. We highly

recommned Ms. Rachel. "
