" I have been studying piano with Angela for more than 2 years. I like her very much because she is very kind and patient. She asks for lot of work but she can still be nice to her students. She makes me love music. I won many competitions since I became Angela’s student. She has taught me lots of new technical skills and musical theories while teaching me piano. This January, I am going to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York for the second time. I already went there last year. I can wear a beautiful dress on the enormous stage. I feel very happy because I am proud of myself. Angela is a very good teacher."

成为 Dr. Angela Chan和 Dr. Wonny Song的学生已有一年半的时间，很幸运能够成为他们的学生。在Lambda学到了很多，不光在音乐表现上，也体现在生活的方方面面。很感谢在短短一年内就参加了很多比赛并且多次获得良好的名次，也有幸在去年被邀请到美国卡内基音乐厅演出。看似不可思议的背后都是数万个小时的有效练习，Dr. Angela Chan 独特的教学方法就是这样的理念，使学生在短时间内从无到有，从业余到专业。普遍认为，学习音乐仅仅学习“音乐”这一门学科。而和 Dr. Angela Chan和 Dr. Wonny Song学习的一年半里，他们鼓励我去学习不同的学科，从而在其他学科中获取音乐的灵感，让我真正领悟到“音乐是生活中的一部分，它与情感，大自然，哲学，文学，科学都紧紧联系在一起。练琴也不再是完成任务，是一种痛并快乐着的享受。” 相信在接下去的几年学习中，会有更大的进步。”

Dr. Angela Chan is an outstanding teacher inspired by her brilliant work and super high quality. With her dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism, she put my daughter Ziqi Fu in the mood to enjoy her piano classes in a very motivated and dynamic way. On top of the musical techniques teaching, she invited Dr. Wonny Song, Co-Director of Lambda School, to extend the help to my daughter to build the knowledge in the musical expressiveness. My families really feel proud, happy and honored to know Dr. Angela and Dr. Wonny to work with them for my daughter, they are the GREAT TEACHERS. I can’t recommend Dr. Angela and Dr. Wonny highly enough!

My little one Miya, who is 6 years old, just got a first place honor from Crescendo international music competition 2017. She even got full marks this time. We are so excited about the results. Miya has been having class with Dr. Angela Chan for only 5 months and the girl is like having wings. I truly appreciate for Angela's style of teaching. She has a bucket of patience, knows how to talk to kids and makes the class enjoyable. She is really into details and perfection. Miya is attached to her from the very beginning. Thanks for her help, then the girl can have chance playing in NY Carnegie hall!

I have been studying piano performance with Dr. Angela Chan for many years, and recently, my son Lawrence Au has also become one of Dr. Chan’s piano students at Lambda. We both enjoy working with Dr. Chan very much, and I think that we both truly benefit from Dr. Chan’s teaching.
After having completed my undergraduate studies in music and working as a piano teacher, I came to the first piano lesson with Dr. Chan with many unsolved technical problems on my piano playing, and I was amazed by her way of teaching that I had never experienced before. She not only has very deep insight of how body movements related to piano playing in both technical and musical aspects, but also is good at clearly elaborating it in creative ways to her students. My studying with Dr. Chan has fundamentally improved my pianistic skills and musical expressiveness. Besides, her passion for music, her enthusiasm for teaching and her sincere care for students have been also deeply influencing and inspiring my own teaching. Later, in order to help extending the scope of my artistic vision, she also introduced me to Dr. Wonny Song, the co-director of Lambda School, to take masterclasses with him. Again, his teaching has profoundly inspired me in both piano playing and teaching. I am very grateful to both Dr. Angela Chan and Dr. Wonny Song for their generosity in sharing their valuable musical knowledge to me.

This year, I started to bring my son Lawrence to Lambda to study with Dr. Chan. From the perspective of a parent, I can truly feel how much effort and dedication Dr. Chan has put to help my son and her other students, from observing how she teaches and helps preparing students to competitions. I think that besides learning piano performance and piano pedagogy from Dr. Chan, I am also learning how to be a dedicated teacher from her.

I strongly recommend Lambda School for those who wish to pursue serious study of music.
