Mr. Hon is an exceptional piano teacher. I’ve studied under a couple of instructors, and he is by far the most outstanding. His patience, deep musical knowledge, and ability to adapt his teaching style to my pace and level of understanding make each lesson both productive and enjoyable. I truly look forward to continuing my lessons with him and growing as a pianist under his guidance. :)
We have the absolute luck and privilege to have Dr. Francis Hon DMA as our teenager’s piano instructor. Francis is patient, thorough, consistent, engaging and passionate about music and teaching piano. Learning an instrument is such a commitment, thus having a teacher like Francis is vital to maintaining motivation, focus and witnessing continued progress. We look forward to many more lessons and highly recommended his expertise!
Francis has been amazing for my 9yo son's growth in musicality. We initially contacted him simply because we live nearby and because another music school (which will remain unnamed) disappointed us. But we quickly learned how much care he puts into his personalized lessons. He's also very communicative and punctual when it comes to scheduling, always a wonderful soft skill to have alongside the actual talent and patience required to help his students. We're so lucky to have met Francis!
