My two children and I took piano lessons with Ms. Joy from 2014 to 2019, when she relocated to Michigan. We had such a wonderful experience with her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone wishing to learn piano and pass on the love for piano to the next generations. She is a professional in high regard by her colleagues, frequently attends conferences and always implements new ideas in her teaching.
And she's a gem of a human being. Truly cares about her students. Under her guidance my kids progressed a lot and got praise in the Royal Conservatory examinations and in adjudicated events.

My daughter took piano lessons from Ms. Joy from ages 10 to 12 and absolutely loved her teaching style and enthusiasm with teaching piano. Ms. Joy is sweet, firm, and clear. Her lessons are well-planned and well-organized. She is great at having her students engaged in the process of learning, asking them questions, encouraging them to tell her what they think about the pieces they are practicing, and explaining what she would suggest to improve and why.
She is an active member of professional associations for piano teachers, and constantly updating her knowledge and teaching skills. She applies new teaching techniques (e.g., group lessons) and tools (e.g., smartphone apps) to motivate her students to enjoy practicing the piano. She is a wonderful teacher and mentor.
