“Barbie Wong provides stimulating, thought-provoking guidance for parents navigating the journey of their children’s music lessons. With her personal experience as both a parent and music educator, Barbie offers parents and teachers expertise that is presented with kindness, humor and honesty. I enjoyed her well-organized and appealing presentations, and gained valuable tools for my teaching studio as well as the community music school I oversee.”

“From the first lesson, my daughter went from being a shy, hesitant student to a more confident girl who could further explore her imagination with music. Barbie gently nudged her out of her shell by giving her tangible but simple things to practice with positive reinforcement for consistency in practice. This built a solid foundation for other skills that translated, including homework and studying. Now my daughter has an instrument that she enjoys playing with her friends, her confidence has blossomed, and she has a skill and appreciation for music that she can enjoy for a lifetime.”

“So professional, warm, with lots of super helpful suggestions on how to help kids start and continue their musical journey.”

“Barbie is utterly devoted to her students and approaches her work with dedication and commitment. She encourages her students to do their best work – but also allows each student to work within their own unique capabilities and to develop their own love of music. She is a wonderful and talented musician and teacher – and we cannot recommend her highly enough.”
