Hello! My name is Sharon. I am a classically trained Bay Area piano teacher and active member of MTAC. At UC Davis, I earned my undergraduate degree in music and Spanish. Then, I completed my Master of Arts in Teaching at Santa Clara University. For over a decade, I have had the pleasure of working with students of all ages and abilities. I am experienced in preparing students for recital performances and musical examinations (including ABRSM, AP Music Theory, Certificate of Merit, and RCM). I believe in helping students develop a strong musical foundation. There are no shortcuts. This will take time, but it is worth the effort because the skills and knowledge acquired can then be applied to any piece of music that students want to learn. To build on this foundation, my students have choices in which supplemental pieces (outside of the lesson books) they wish to work on. This could include anything from TV themes/film scores to classical/jazz piano to contemporary music to Broadway hits. The more students enjoy their lessons and the music they're learning, the more they will learn, study, practice, and progress. If you have any questions about my musical education, teaching philosophy, or professional experience, please feel free to send me a message at any time. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Students (Parents for younger students) will need to register for a free MusicTeacherNotes account. If you are a current student of mine at Sharon Kwok Piano Studio and haven't registered your MusicTeacherNotes account, please click the orange button below. You will use the studio code (KQU7M) to connect your family account to my teacher account.
MusicTeacherNotes is free for students. They have an upgradable option available, called the Gold Plan, but upgrading is not required. I can manage our music lessons whether you use their free account or their Gold account.
MusicTeacherNotes helps music teachers manage their students and helps students learn music faster. By empowering parents and students to get much more out of private music lessons, learning music becomes a better experience for everyone.
