Regina’s Music Studio

Ms Regina is a great teacher to my son who knew nothing in piano. She communicates to his way of understanding. She has rules that is good to build a foundation. She understand he quality of learning rather than quantity of learning. Most of all she understands that he has a challenge academic homework so she sets realistic expectations. She has impress me (a mom who have played piano 20yrs).

My son, who is 6 years old, started piano lesson with Ms. Andrea 2 months ago, and he enjoys it so much! Andrea is energetic, and her teaching style is flexible to match my son’s personality. Highly recommended!

My 5 yrs old son (4 when he started taking lessons from Ms. Regina, also a great teacher) has been taking lessons from Ms. Andrea for about half a year now and she has been awesome! My son can be a handful but she has been very patient and has great interaction with my kid. I believe that a great teacher is someone that is flexible and modifies their teaching styles to match the character of their students, and she does exactly that.

My daughter (5 this yr) has been learning piano with Teacher Regina for almost half a year. I am glad that we found her as she teaches my daughter in English and Cantonese as well. It’s really difficult to find a Cantonese spoken teacher anywhere. Teacher Regina has a busy schedule, we did come across some problem in the beginning as we didn’t allowed much time to ask any question. Gladly, Regina did manage to fix the issue and she has given us lots of motivation with her passion for music.
I’m personally on the straighter side as a mother and Regina does set a high expectation with my daughter’s work and practices. And the sense of these stress does become motivation and encouragement. So I think it’s okay as I can’t stand teacher that doesn’t care much about the students’ progress.
Her location is very convenient and never had a problem with parking.

Ms. Regina is a fantastic teacher and my 6 year old daughter loves her lessons. She is making progress continuously and we are very excited to see her learn so much!

My daughter has been taking classes with Regina for over a month now and just in that month my daughter has learned so much more than she did in a full year with another instructor we had. AND my daughter enjoys playing piano now! All around, a great experience with Regina!

Miss Regina is the real deal. My five year old daughter has been taking half hour lessons with her for six months. Her mother and I are both musicians and we were both looking for a teacher who is compassionate and also very structured in her approach. Regina’s commitment and organization was so evident during her Fall studio recital. Featuring over 20 different students aged 4 – 14 each playing 2 pieces perfectly suited to their level without a piece repeated throughout, the recital was a great benchmark for my daughter to feel good about the hard work she’s put in and hear all the other dedicated young musicians do their thing. Right on Regina! Thank you.

She is wonderful with my son. She is good at directing him with different methods and encouraging him. He enjoys going to her class and learning new things.

Ms Regina has been teaching my daughter for a few months now, following a bit of searching in the San Gabriel. My goal was to find someone to teach the language of music to my daughter, balancing fun and discipline. Opposite the mundane and dreaded piano lessons i experienced in my own youth… I have to say I am thoroughly pleased to have found this instructor. Here are my impressions:
The South Pasadena studio is tidy, bright, and professional in appearance. The layout is simple– a couch for the parent and a grand piano as the focal point. And sufficient open space, free of distractions and clutter.
There is a second instructor Ms Andrea who has covered during schedule changes, whom i thought was also very good. Ms Regina is my daughter’s main teacher. She is organized and serious about her craft. She is formally educated in music and it shows in the instructions she relays to her students. From our first meeting, she provided guidelines for success, and expectations for attendance and practice. No-​nonsense. Don’t let her youthful appearance mislead you, if you are not committed your may want a different teacher. You cannot miss classes. Her approach is firm, but also patient, which has been good for motivating my 5 year old, who’s mind tends to wander. Kind of like her dad.
My favorite thing is she regularly organizes recitals, one of which recently took place at the South Pas library. It gave the kids an opportunity to showcase what they learned in front of an audience. Ms Regina accompanied the nervous little ones and some of her pupils are scary good. It was a nice, fun event for the kids and parents. A great confidence builder.
Business communications about scheduling and payment are handled professionally. Fees are fair. Overall a good package and a wonderful find of a music studio for little people.

After 19 lessons with Regina we had to leave the studio, due to the absence policy.
However I still believe Regina is knowledgeable in her craft. I also appreciated so much that she took time to help us find a piano.
My son learned a lot.

My 9 year old daughter needed a teacher to take her to the next level in piano, and after looking on Unilocal,I found Ms. Regina and decided to find out more. I’m so glad I did!
From the beginning, Ms. Regina was available and easy to contact. When my daughter and I met her for the first time, I knew she was a great fit for my daughter. She is so encouraging yet knows exactly how much to push to help my daughter improve and become a well-​rounded pianist.
My daughter has totally responded to Ms. Regina’s teaching. I know this sounds too good to be true, but she’s so inspired and motivated to practice because of Ms. Regina!
Thank you so much for working with my daughter!

My son finally had his first recital! Love miss Regina! She not only has tremendous knowledge on her field but also so much heart to her students. She is genuine and no non-​sense. I know my son is in good hands. I’m looking forward to having miss Andrea as my son sub teacher during miss Regina’s absence.

I have a lot of good things to say about Ms. Regina.
1) Ms. Regina makes piano so interesting to my almost six-​year old daughter. My daughter wasn’t 100% sure if she wanted to start learning piano, but after 15 minutes with Ms. Regina, she couldn’t wait to learn! And Ms. Regina makes each lesson productive and interesting, so even though sometimes my daughter gets upset at home practices, after each lesson, my daughter is totally renewed and ready for the weeks ahead!
2) Ms. Regina definitely knows how to teach a child! She caters to each child’s different learning habits, and knows how to break down difficult things. I can tell she has a lot of experience in working with children.
3) Ms. Regina has a warm and caring personality and is strict and professional at the same time. I like that she told us at the first lesson to really practice every day at a fixed time. This is so helpful. She is a good role model for my daughter.
4) Some logistics: parking is super easy; studio has a grand piano and is bright and distraction-​less; monthly invoicing with lesson times listed helps busy parents to stay organized; and who doesn’t appreciate prompt email replies!
Not sure if I covered everything I wanted to share, but in summary, we cannot be happier to have Ms. Regina as the piano teacher! We look forward to the musical journey ahead.

We have been bringing my 3 year old daughter to Regina for music lessons for a month now and it has been a wonderful experience. Regina is wonderful with such a young student and my daughter absolutely loves the lessons (she talks about them all week and can’t wait to come in Sunday morning). I would highly recommend Regina to anyone looking for someone to help start their young child on the path to truly appreciating music.

You will not meet anyone who is more passionate about music and teaching music to the next generation of musicians than Regina. She is knowledgeable and the educational background to prove it. She’s a kind and caring teacher, but knows what it takes to get the most out of each student. If you really want to learn how to play the piano correctly and are willing to put the time and effort that it requires, Regina is the perfect teacher for you!

Regina is an amazing piano teacher for kids and teens alike. Regina is very good at connecting to her students. She sets high expectations for them and she’s responsive to their needs. My teen daughter who needs someone to push her has found her match with Regina who pushes gently and firmly. She runs a very professional organized studio with clear policies and competitive tuition prices. Her studio is warm and welcoming and clean. She’s conveniently located in South Pasadena with easy parking out front. I highly recommend Regina’s Music Studio to anyone with a child who might be shy or nervous and just starting out as a piano student. Regina is nurturing and kind while being fun and personable.

Regina is definitely passionate about what she does. She love helping others and she herself is an amazing musician.

If you want to learn piano with a patient, insightful, and immensely talented teacher… study here.

Greetings fellow attendees and reviewers of Regina’s wonderful studio! Regina here has put her whole heart, soul and love of music into making her studio and wonderful homey environment a living dream of hers. With every lesson she is packed with energy and just eager for her students to learn as much as they can with all the help they can get. She is extremely patient when it came to a slow learner like me, especially in helping me reviving my left hand bass chords while playing on her radiantly tuned Steinway mahogany piano that made even the most incoherent offbeat piano strikes portray some sort of easy flowing rhythm.
When it came to the pricing, extra reasonable without a doubt. I needed extra lessons to work on my left chords so I definitely took advantage of the deals displayed on the front page. Her studio appointment times are also excellent since they fit into my variable schedule with ease.
Furthermore, with every lesson taken through her studio, I am always left with the impact on how Regina goes the extra mile to see if everything learned throughout the previous lesson sticks in my head and so far so good, I feel like I have dug myself into an an upper level university piano course considering the workload but definitely worth it with the results I have been seeing. Without a doubt, not only are people getting quality teaching here at Regina’s music studio, but also lives being changed forever through motivation and energy flow take place here like there is no tomorrow.

I will start off by saying that I didn’t have a life long dream to play the piano. It’s always something I had some interest in but as I got older it seemed less important. I’m not near my midlife crisis (Yet) but I’m no spring chicken either. From experience it’s always been easier to learn music and new languages as a child. With my constant focus towards work and paying my bills, I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to play though I decided I give it a try.
It was more of a chance encounter that I met Regina. It was at work and she happened to mention her profession. I think we’ve been brainwashed into seeing teachers and instructors as older individuals. While she’s still young, you sense an intensity immediately after meeting her. I don’t know how she is during her free time but when you’re there in the lesson, she’s all business.
I’m only a few lessons in so far I’ve learned how disciplined one needs to be to do this. I’m know this discipline will help other aspects of my life. Just like everything else, it takes practice. She expects you to practice the lessons and there’s homework as well. It’s a long road but I know it’ll be worth it. I don’t think I’ll turn in a fabulous baker boy (I caught it on the tele the other night) but I’ll know much more than I did before.
