Testimonials
“Barbie, you changed my life. Since using your techniques, our family life is calmer and happier. Your class has positively rocked my world and it has changed my relationship with my young pianist in a happier way!”
“The members of the Alameda Branch of the MTAC were treated
to a wonderful presentation by guest speaker Barbie Wong, who
discussed the topic “Engaging Parents for Student Success.”
Barbie, who is a polished public speaker with a beautiful lilting voice,
addressed the issue of the profound impact a family can have on the
musical development and growth of their child, and the necessity of
the piano teacher to understand the family dynamics and hopefully to
interject new ideas in a non-intrusive manner that maximize the
possibility of creating a supportive, nurturing, enriching family
atmosphere.”
“I left this weekend feeling so inspired by everything I learned from you and can’t wait to apply these techniques with my own students and kids. I’m so grateful for all the work you continue to do in supporting music teachers and parents.”
“Barbie, thanks to you, I feel empowered and have fresh ideas to help my kid with their musical journey!”
“So professional, warm, with lots of super helpful suggestions on how to help kids start and continue their musical journey.”
“As a Suzuki teacher, I’ve heard and read a lot about raising musical kids. Even so, I came away with so much from Barbie’s course. She focused in on important points, giving real-world examples and bringing fresh perspectives. The course helped me remain calm through difficult practice sessions and keep the big picture in mind. I have also seen wonderful results in the students whose parents have attended these courses. The consistency and quality of their practice sessions have given them a real boost in confidence and ability.”
