Cynthia Hsiang Music Teacher

Cynthia is a true music teacher through and through. I researched for awhile to find someone who was patient enough with a new learner, speaks good English, knowledgeable and also someone genuinely an easy going person.
She and her husband offer private and groups lessons for classical Chinese instruments and the piano. I’ve come here for about a year for my zither (gu zheng or koto in Japanese) lessons — at her house. She can come to you, but with extra charge I believe.
I’d definitely recommend her, she’s very patient, sweet, kind and ALWAYS ALWAYS encouraging.
She provides you books and materials (she composes her own music as well) and always have an extra zither set up for you if you don’t want to bring yours. It’s heavy!
Her husband teaches the butterfly harp and the erhu too, I believe. When they feel you are good enough, you can perform in their concerts.
Age ranges from small kids (lots of piano learners) to retired persons!
They charge about $ 50/​hr but I guarantee you learn a lot and well worth your time.
She’s working on her music PhD and is teaching at PCC as well, so she keeps well abreast of all things musical!
