Dear Ms. Liu, Thank you so much for all the years you have been teaching me. You taught me so much, not only about piano, but also discipline, hard work ethic, perseverance, and performance. I've really enjoyed playing and even it got difficult, I'm so glad I kept going.

Thank you for your leadership and in helping Irene achieve her best in music. As a parent, it is so rewarding to see her work very hard and succeed. I was very proud of her piano accomplishments with her first recital and really enjoyed attending.

We couldn’t be more grateful to have you as Amelia’s piano teacher! Your patience and encouragement have been a blessing to us! Even though Amelia didn’t do perfectly in her recital songs, we are still very proud of her performance.

My daughter, Hannah, who is now 11, has been taking lessons from Sherry Liu since she was 7. I am amazed at the progress Hannah has made during this four-year period. I have been very impressed with her instruction in technique and artistry. Through Ms. Liu's teaching, Hannah has learned to pay attention to dynamics and to utilize various techniques that make the music more artistic. Ms. Liu has provided a good balance of theory, technique, artistry, and, very important for an 11-year-old, fun. She has instilled in Hannah a love for piano and the desire to do her best. Ms. Liu knows how to encourage Hannah without being demanding, while still insisting on her best efforts. When Hannah started her lessons, Ms. Liu quickly discovered she was playing by ear rather than reading music and addressed it immediately. Ms. Liu's technical instruction and manner of teaching can only be described as superb. She has been a wonderful role model for Hannah.

I have been studying piano with Ms. Liu for 4 years. My epxerience has been very fun even with the continued dichotomy between Ms. Liu and I. She wants me to play slowly and correctly while I enjoy playing quickly and taking "artistic license" with the notes. I will miss my lessons once I go away to boarding school, but I am sure to continue piano playing , and it will be a life-long hobby of mine.

My son, Steven, began taking lessons from Ms. Liu a year ago, when he was 4 1/2 years old. Since Steven started at a young age, it was important to me that he was learning in an environment which was fun and not stressful. Ms. Liu works at Steven's level and provides encouragement and positive reinforcement. When he has to repeat a piece a few weeks in a row, she reminds him that some pieces are harder than others and that it is okay to repeat the hard pieces. While she gently reminds him to pay attention to certain details, she always tells him when he is doing a good job. When he is playing well, he is rewarded by getting to play duets or new pieces. Ms. Liu has a good sense of what parents and students want to accomplish by taking piano lessons. For my son, I mostly want him to be able to enjoy and appreciate music. Ms. Liu picks fun pieces which are appropriate for his level, so that my son looks forward to practicing. Steven's experiences with Ms. Liu have been excellent.
