Christine has been a fantastic teacher for my son. Over the past year that she has worked with him he has learn to love piano and violin. Christine has been very flexible with accommodating our schedule, and offers virtual lessons for those times that traveling is not reasonable. I highly recommend her to other parents and adults looking for a professional musician that offers an excellent educational experience.

Christine is an awesome teacher! She is very passionate about teaching and makes kid very comfortable during lessons. I have a very shy kid and initially she was very nervous about the lessons. But Christine gained their confidence and identified their strengths and weakness in initial few lessons. During lessons she pays attention on how the kid is playing the music and also on body composure.. Christine introduced NYSSMA evaluation to my kids and she trained her meticulously for a perfect score. My kids have evolved a lot under her guidance and I can see how much they have improved both in playing the instrument and sight reading under her guidance. I would definitely recommend her, she is great!

Christine is an amazing teacher! Shes incredibly patient with kids - finding the best approach to each child, getting them motivated and interested in music. She makes learning fun, yet productive with great kids accomplishments! We really like her teaching approach - the way she combines violin and piano and music theory is simple superb ! 👌

Christine is a great teacher. I stared learning the violin in September of 2019. She knows many tricks and quarks to help everyone. Her teaching is individualized to how you learn. She wants to see you succeed and have fun. You learn so much with just one year of being with her.

Christine does an excellent job teaching music, my son has been taking lessons for a year now and received an outstanding rating from NYSSMA for violin last month. She has been flexible with her schedule when we had conflicts and cares about her students. I highly recommend her classes.

Christine is professional as piano teacher. I am an adult student. While with her a little over a year now, I have gained both theoretical and practical skills in piano. Moreover, I accomplished around 300+ pieces, such as finger exercises, folk songs, and classical music. Looking forward to what I will achieve in this year.

I love going here each week. Christine has a great sense of humor, down to Earth, and she makes you feel welcomed. I dont play well and instead of feeling bad about it, we laugh. She is very knowledgeable and amazingly talented.

Christine is an extraordinary teacher, and I feel extremely fortunate to have her as a teacher. As an adult false-beginner who picked up many bad habits due to a lack of good instruction earlier in life, I wanted to start from scratch. Christine has provided a precise, detailed map for building up the skills that are needed. Moreover, as a practising physicist, I learn best when I have access to precise explanations (rationales) and freedom to explore. Christine has unfailingly provided rigorous, detailed explanations, as well as being flexible enough to allow me to explore my own enthusiasms whilst pulling me back when needed to ensure balanced coverage of the essentials. She has an unbelievable (to me!) capacity to precisely diagnose any shortfall in my playing. More broadly, Christine is unfailingly patient and encouraging. Her studio has vaulting ceilings and is equipped with a grand piano and uprights (and a cat). During the COVID era, lessons over the internet have been as effective as in person.

I have been playing with Christine for many year and have been doing NYSSMA for the same amount of years and have scored very well thanks to her help!!

Christine has been our Son’s violin and piano teacher for five years. It is extremely rare to have one teacher for both instruments, and she is a brilliant teacher. She is very encouraging and attentive, students who work under her will go far. She offers a beautiful studio, two gorgeous recitals a year along with her expertise and attention. We couldn’t recommend her more highly, she is truly one of the greatest music teachers ever.

Excellent teacher! Christines class is very well structured, and her lessons are very helpful for my daughter to progress well. Above all, Christine encourages my daughter (I dont know how) so that my daughter does not think of playing the piano and the violin as *practicing* but as *playing* as if she likes reading her favorite books and drawing/painting.

Our 10 year old daughter has been taking piano lessons for over 5 years now and we are extremely happy with her progress. Christine is an outstanding teacher with lots of patience, passion, and dedication. We can’t thank her enough for instilling in our daughter the confidence and love for playing this wonderful instrument!

Our daughter started lessons with Christine Chin at age 3. In a short time, Christine had her reading music and playing both the violin and the piano. Christine’s caring demeanor and structured lessons are perfect for young children. She really knows how to teach young kids and works to make each lesson engaging. Our daughter absolutely loves Christine and looks forward to her weekly lesson!

As of August of 2019 I decided to do something that I have been wanting to do for many years. I started taking piano lessons. At the age of 53, I decided it was time to take one out of the old regret bin of life. My dilemma was who to go to for lessons. Obviously, my choice was Christine, and I could not be happier about this decision. Christine is what every great teacher is… Patient, understanding, kind and knowledgeable. I would encourage anyone reading this that is thinking about taking lessons to contact Christine. You will be glad you did. I am!!!

Christine has been doing a great job with my kids. They started 3 and 4 respectively. We been with her for 4 years or so. Very happy with their progression. Scheduling lessons for them is super easy. The kids are challenged appropriately.

My daughter has been taking piano and violin lessons from Christine since she was 3 years old in 2017. Christine has been excellent working with my daughter and knows how to utilize her strengths and keep her attention since it’s difficult to teach kids and have them progress. My daughter looks forward to her weekly lessons with Christine and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for piano and violin lessons.

Violin lessons and piano lessons from Christine are world-class for the Albany, NY Capital Region. She does amazing work from beginner to advanced lessons for both violin and piano for all ages. I was shocked when I learned of her credentials and background, the level you would expect to only see in New York or Boston. Highly recommended.

Christine has been me and my friend Nandinis teacher for a very long time, not only does she teach us music, she also teaches us how to manage our time wisely. (balancing practice, and electronic time) Christine is one of the best teachers in the world, and she is very good at communicating with us, she makes us happy, and she teaches in a fun way. She always takes into account our feelings, and she never yells at us when we dont do very well in class, instead she gives us a pep talk, and helps us through our difficulties. We HIGHLY recommend Christine, and we love her so much! We all have so much fun at the recitals! Christine also has a system with stickers, where if you practice a certain amount of time you can put a sticker on a big board, if we get enough stickers, we get a prize! Christine also is someone you can trust and talk to! THANK YOU CHRISTINE FOR BEING THE BEST TEACHER!!!!!!!!~ Nandini and Sowmya

Excellent teacher with personalized approach to kids and adult students alike. An expert violin and piano teacher. Energetic and fun to work with!

When teaching children Its most important to be patient with students and nurture them at their speed so they learn. Christine has perfected her teaching methods. She offers a great space for your child to learn and her knowledge is unmatched. You will not regret using Christines Music Studio.

She is best teacher in the area. Very professional and gives individual attention. I loved learning from her.Thank you Christine

Miss Christine is doing a SUPER job of training my three grandchildren, ages 7, 5 and 3. She interacts very well with the young children and I see that she also has all ages of student. Keep up the good work!

Immensely talented, intelligent, and compassionate.
