A message to parents
We all agree that every child is different and all children have their own talents and should not compare them with others; however, it's always easier said than done. As a parent myself, I truly understand that all of us want our children to be able to excel.
It's not realistic to compare the weight of an elephant and an ant, because an ant is so much smaller than an elephant. Let me tell you, an ant is actually is much stronger than an elephant as it can withstand pressures up to 5,000 times the ant's weight.
In Dolce Music, we are not only believe each student is unique, we are also dedicated to work with our students to discover their own talents and archive their own goals in Music.
Together, let's make it happen!

"The summer prior to junior kindergarten, I decided to find a violin teacher for my daughter, Adelaide. At our local music school, Adelaide had her first violin session with Laband. I remember in that first session Laband saying: "violin is a serious instrument" and encouraged Adelaide to practice daily. She did. As Adelaide blossomed under Laband's patient and consistent guidance, she was able to prepare for her first recital one year later. However, at that recital, Adelaide exhibited severe stage fright. Therefore, I decided to also take violin lessons under Laband. Even though I came to violin as an experienced musician, I had never picked up a violin. Taking lessons not only gave me keen insight into how to guide Adelaide further, it also created a special connection between us as mother and daughter. I am happy to report that at the next recital Adelaide confidently performed violin in front of her peers. Laband has a special way of teaching young children. As we have continued under his guidance we are now working toward RCM examination with the goals of Adelaide obtaining a violin scholarship and myself joining my community orchestra."

"Laband is an excellent piano teacher. He has been teaching my boys online and he uses the proper technology to make sure they understand the music and are playing with proper technique. He is very dedicated to his students to help them grow in their music abilities and fosters love for the piano. I had interviewed many piano teachers and selected him. He is very accommodating and understanding and a wonderful teacher. He has a very strong work ethic and makes sure the students are progressing. We are very lucky to have him as a piano teacher."

"Laband is very passionate about music and his students. As a teenager, I developed a deep love for music, especially classical music, and shared this passion for different violin music with Laband. I can see his love for teaching and the joy and happiness, he infuses into each
of his violin lessons. I really appreciate him teaching me throughout my life and am very grateful to have developed both my violin skills and a deeper appreciation for music as a whole."
