Student Testimonials

Jacquie Okoh has been a wonderful piano teacher for both our sons! Studying with Jacquie for the past 8 years has been a very helpful journey for our children in the world of music learning and she has helped our children develop into talented pianists. She is not only kind, caring, extremely accommodating, and very patient, but she truly inspires her students to enjoy and love music and set their goals and aspirations very high. She has a well rounded approach and includes theory lessons, performance classes, recitals, and competitions as part of her yearly curriculum.  This has helped our children achieve high ranks in their piano exams and contests and also helped one of them to be the state piano contest winner for two years so far. Our kids just love her and we would highly  recommend Jacquie to anyone interested in learning piano.  
Thanks,
Sridevi and Sridhar

Goodbye is a word you never want to say. Good luck with your move, Jacqueline Okoh! Thank you so much for all you have done for Kylie and Alexa. You are very special to them. ~Karen

When I first started taking lessons from Mrs. Okoh, she took the time to learn about what level I was for piano. She is very patient with teaching new material and keeps in mind what type of music you like to play, but also what she thinks is necessary for you to become a better student. Mrs. Okoh entered me into state competitions and dedicated time to help me do well. If she had time after a lesson, she would let me stay later just so that you she could help me. She let me see what I was really capable of by challenging me with songs that I never thought that I would be able to play. She helped me gain confidence in my talent as a pianist. When I played the piano for my school’s choir, she let me bring in the music that I was going to play and taught me how I could improve it to show off the best of my abilities. My favorite thing about Mrs. Okoh was that she considered what we do outside of lessons so that we wouldn’t be stressed out. If I ever had too much music to learn during a busy time during the school year, she would let me focus on the schoolwork and let me lay off of some of the music that I was learning. Mrs. Okoh was the nicest teacher I could ask for and she opened all sorts of opportunities for me as a musician.

We have had the pleasure of having Mrs. Jacquie Okoh teach piano to all four of our daughters over the last 15 years. Throughout that time we have attended her recitals so we have also been able to see the work of her other students. Mrs. Okoh is everything one would want in a piano teacher. She is an exceptional pianist herself and is completely capable of taking a student to music major bound level of work, but she also seems comfortable working with beginners and kids who are not destined for advanced level work but can still benefit from having music performance in their lives. She encourages the kids to practice regularly, but she is flexible with students who have other activities in their schedules. She is a kind, reliable person who truly cares about the kids and their piano development, as well as whatever else is going on in their lives. ~Anne 

"We love Jacquie. Her caring of people, her passion about kids and her love of music made her the perfect teacher for my daughter." ~Changjian

We will miss you, Mrs. Okoh! Thank you for all that you did at church as Choir Director for 20 years and especially as Piano Instructor Extraordinaire! Your commitment and encouragement helped foster many kids' musical success. ~Maria
