Really bad experience. I was proud of my daughter to have a chnace study here 3 years ago when she was in. However, now I regret send my daughter there. 3-years study very little progress, and more importantly destroyed her passion on studying piano. Many studies just wast of time and seems not responsible. They impressed me like they are For business more than for education.

I don’t understand where the hype comes from. Maybe it was a good school in the past, I’m not sure, but now it feels money-oriented, ego-driven, with shallow teaching and a culture of competition rather than growth.
I’ve seen other comments saying the same thing — that it kills passion for music — and I experienced that too. I don’t know how to explain it, but the experience affected me deeply.
Some teachers seem inexperienced, some teaching feels very shallow, and some staff have poor ethics and treat students badly. Instead of feeling encouraged and growing as a musician, I felt stressed and overwhelmed.
In my experience, this environment does not support musical development — it damages motivation and passion for music.
So no don’t go - plus it’s exiensiveveithbshalliw education.
To me, the school seems focused more on image and money than education quality. 23 out of 100 for quality

I experienced a lot of discrimination and a lack of respect. Feedback from students does not seem to be taken seriously, and at times the institution feels more focused on money than on the quality of education. The actual quality does not match the expectations that are presented. There also seems to be a culture of ego rather than genuine professionalism, which is disappointing.
While some professors are competent and maintain a decent academic standard, the overall professionalism of the institution is lacking.

I regret to say the Keyboard Department failed to meet basic expectations. Teachers are frequently distracted by their own outside projects, leaving students feeling neglected and unsupported. The atmosphere is more taxing than nurturing. Look elsewhere for a dedicated and constructive musical education.
