Experienced tutor in Music theory in Fircrest, Christine offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

We sought piano lessons for our first child as she was entering kindergarten in 2012 and learned about the Suzuki method and that's when our paths crossed with Dr Christine Chan (our favorite Mrs Christine). Little did we know at the time the piano lessons for our child were going to teach us a new method of learning based on Dr Shinichi Suzuki's philosophy of teaching based on unconditional love. Mrs Christine embraces and integrates this method graciously in the piano lessons and enables the parents through the parent workshops which were instrumental in helping my child practice at home. Our second child joined as a student with Mrs. Christine in 2014. We experienced and observed our children grow and enjoy playing the piano, looking forward to lessons, and participating in recitals over the years. Our children were invited by Mrs Christine to play at the Holy Names University's Summer Institute with Caroline Fraser in front of a large group of Suzuki teachers. We have been blessed with the kind, encouraging and loving approach to Mrs Christine's teaching that every child can and equally as important that every parent can (this was instrumental in helping me help my kids learn a musical instrument). Mrs Christine has taught our family these simple lessons in embracing a child's learning that are well described in these quotes from Dr Suzuki, that "Knowledge is not skill. Knowledge plus ten thousand times is skill. What is man's ultimate direction in life? It is to look for love, truth, virtue, and beauty. Children learn to smile from their parents." And with Mrs Christine's unconditional love and teachings our children have become better learners and we have become better parents. With many thanks and deep gratitude.

Teacher Christine is a creative and patient teacher. She is always warm and welcoming, while also holding my daughter to a high standard for attitude and comprehension. She has so many different ways of explaining and demonstrating concepts, ways to get a child's body moving so they really feel and internalize the lessons. We are very happy to have found Teacher Christine.

Christine is a very good and very gentle teacher, very good for children, the curriculum is also very good, and often gives children some opportunities for interaction and performance, very great!

I am consistently impressed with Teacher Christine's positive energy and ability to find so many ways to explain and demonstrate concepts.
