Mickey Mok
Exceptional Piano Teacher
“I cannot recommend Suki enough! Her serious commitment, patience, and artistic approach have transformed my daughter’s musical journey. Thanks to her guidance, my daughter achieved high scores in her Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) exams. Suki is not just a teacher; she is a mentor who shapes young musicians’ lives.”

“We were so happy to have found Suki during a teacher transition period. Suki allows students to proceed at the right pace for them, but also encourages them to gradually try more difficult pieces while easing the way through by gently pointing out the correct or better way of approaching a piece. Under Suki's guidance my older child has improved tremendously and my younger child is getting started with a solid foundation. Thanks Suki!”

“Suki is a pianist of an extraordinary talent and has been an amazing teacher for my 3 children for the last 6 years. She has experience, determination and patience to work with kids as young as 4, teach them notes and theory as well as piano performance at the highest level. Suki tailors the repertoire to the interests and abilities of the child and challenges children to work hard to improve their technical performance, work on dynamics as well as musical expression in general. With Suki, my children have risen from not knowing how to read the music to taking top prizes in international piano competitions and performing at the Winners Recitals in Carnegie Hall in New York. My children absolutely love playing piano and are always looking forward to the lessons with Suki - we are very grateful for the lifelong music passion Suki shared with our family!”

“Highly recommend this great teacher! Very talented and encouraging, with the right balance of patience and discipline. My son’s skills has progressed a lot and more importantly, has enjoyed playing the piano even more.”
Brinda Dutta
“Suki managed the impossible - with her inspiring teaching and kind demeanor, she changed my kids’ minds - from wanting to drop piano to playing and practicing with a passion again! They have both improved so much and look forward to every lesson, every new piece and every recital. We couldn’t be more grateful to Suki for bringing our kids back to their love for classical music.”

“As someone with two master’s degrees in vocal performance, I know how difficult it can be to entrust your child’s musical education to someone else—especially when you have spent a lifetime in the arts yourself.
When my daughter first began piano, I wasn’t overly strict about selecting her teacher. At that stage, I had no idea whether she would even enjoy the instrument. But as soon as I saw her natural ear for music and her joy in playing, I knew she needed someone exceptional—someone who could guide her through the years ahead, challenging her and shaping not only her musicianship but her character. Finding Suki through a personal recommendation was a godsend.
Suki is, in every way, what I believe a great teacher should be: a master of her craft, an accomplished performer, and someone who has lived the life of a serious student. She brings discipline, independence, and an unwavering sense of supportive achievement to each lesson. Her biannual recitals are not just performances—they are celebrations of her students’ growth and a testament to the care and dedication she pours into their success.
Suki is a demanding teacher, and I believe that is exactly what young artists need to understand that creativity must be paired with focus, repetition, and perseverance. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any young student who wishes to pursue music seriously—or simply to anyone who wants to experience the life-shaping benefits of an education rooted in both artistry and discipline.”
