His passion and dedication clearly define him as a renowned performer. Aside knowing Hoang as a piano instructor, we are also honored to have experience Hoang’s numerous solo performances. He consistently challenges his students by involving them in recitals, level tests, or simply performing for community services.

He teaches a wide array of musical genres to keep the student’s interest and focus.

He instills a sense of dedication and confidence in our daughters’ piano training but always maintains the lessons to be fun and exciting.
