Mr. Bang Jing has been my daughter’s private lesson teacher for about 2 years and we feel she is so privileged to be Mr. Bang Jing’s student. He is a phenomenal composer who has great deal of patience with young students and their novice parents. His clear instructions and encouragements facilitate my daughter’s practice at home as well. Mr. Bang Jing is a great role model for students as a musician and composer!
