The student showcase concerts are amazing. My kid loves the piano lessons. Best music school in Johns Creek!

My name is Emma and I have been studying with Dr. Martin Gueorguie for many years. He is both an incredible player and an amazing cello teacher. He has provided me with an absolutely extraordinary music education. Every lesson is focused and productive but it never feels stressful. Dr. Martin is patient and encouraging and always pushes me to do my very best. He also takes into account what I want as a musician and my personal schedule, as I am often very busy. Because of his teaching, I have seen myself grow in both my musicality and technicality as well as my own maturity. I could not have asked for a better teacher and I highly recommend him.

I have been studying music theory and composition with Dr. Kim for about 6 months now. Already, I have seen a great improvement in my understanding of harmonies and melodies. Theres always more to learn with Dr. Kim! He explains various concepts in interesting ways that are easy to grasp. On top of that, hes very patient and flexible. Hes helped me become a much better musician, and I truly enjoy studying with him!

My daughter started her Suzuki violin lessons with Ms. Virginia and is studying with Mr. Pu. They are amazing professionals who are passionate about teaching, care about their students, and encourage them to do better. Through their excellent teaching, she is making big progress. WPMA is the best music academy, which provides top music education.

My daughter started her Suzuki violin lessons with Ms Virginia one and half year ago. We are having one by one lessons and group classes. She is a very good, nice and professional teacher. My impression is, she is not only a professional teacher but she understands little kid students very well. She teaches, trains them, helps them developing skills according to kids nature. She also plays games with them and inspires her students. We like her so much.

I have been a student of Ms. Virginia Sloans for the past four years. From the beginning I have learned so much from her. She has been a fantastic teacher while encouraging me to become a better violinist. Ms. Virginia makes the lessons fun, while helping me improve my skill set. I would encourage a new violinist to give he a call! Thats what I did and it turned out great!

William Pu Music Academy is absolutely the best music school for kids. They offer classes for all levels and all kinds of instruments. Teachers are very experienced, the finest and nicest.

My ten-year-old daughter has been taking violin lessons at WPMA for three years. The teachers are patient, kind, loving, and professional. It has been amazing to watch my daughters interest in violin develop and flourish under the teachers tutelage. My daughter is motivated to learn and practice, looks forward to her lessons, enjoys listening to the violin CD, and is proud of how many songs she can play. The teachers at WPMA are encouraging, supportive instructors who know how to ignite a passion for violin in students—highly recommended!

Ms Elisa is an amazing violin teacher at WP music academy. She has always encouraged me to do even better in learning the detailed approach to playing violin beautifully. Thanks to her, I have the ability to read the sheet music. She has helped me and guided me through book one and now making progress to book two of Suzuki method. I am so excited...KrishMs Elisa is a wonderful violin teacher at WP music academy who has taught me the very intricate aspects of playing violin well. She is very strict and gets the work done. I like that she has taught me very important things like correct posture, correct bow hold, and how to read sheet music. I love Ms Elisa... Rishi

My daughter has been learning violin from Ms.Mayu for the last two years. We have seen her grow leaps and bounds with Ms.Mayus teaching. She makes the lessons enjoyable. She is super patient and teaches all different techniques to bring out the best.We are so pleased to have Ms.Mayu as our daughters teacher.

Mr. Pu is an amazing musician and dedicated educator. It is a privilege to have a teacher like him in our area.

I have been studying viola with Ms. Amy Chang for the past 5 years since middle school, and I can confidently say that her thorough lessons and unwavering positive attitude single-handedly paved the way to my musical success.Ms. Amy always has been supportive of any goal her students wanted to achieve, and has, without exception, tirelessly done everything to help them reach that goal.Since 6th grade, I took part in the GMEA All-State Orchestra as the principal and assistant principal for numerous years. I was also fortunate enough to take part in the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra as the Viola Principal since last year as a 9th grader, and as an alternate to the 2021 National Youth Orchestra. In addition, I was able to win 1st Prize in my division in the GMTA Strings & Classical Guitar as the Conference Recitalist for the past two years, and 1st Prize Senior Division in the Atlanta Festival Competition in 2020.Without Ms. Amy’s incredibly detailed teachings in all aspects of music, I don’t think it would be ever possible for me to achieve these goals.The facilities of WPMA are well-suited for current times, as their use of mandatory mask policies, easy access to hand sanitizers, and individual rooms for each teacher-student pair creates a comfortable environment for everyone to learn.If you are looking for a way to drastically improve your technique and musicality, I highly recommend WPMA. I cannot express enough how fortunate I am to be Ms. Amy’s student, and how much I owe her for everything she has done to improve my musicianship.

Mr. Ryan has been my violin teacher here for about 3 years now, before I started taking lessons I had some bad habits that I didnt realize I had. Mr. Ryan pointed out what were my bad habits and the first lessons we had was to fix my bad habits. He also taught me new techniques and helped me understand music better than before. He has helped me progress further than what I wouldve learned at school and helped me grow as a musician.

Dr. Martin Gueorguiev is my current cello teacher at WPMA. To say that he improved my cello skills dramatically is an understatement. With so much musical experience, Dr. Martin is able to channel all of his musical experience into an easily understandable and productive lesson. I could not be happier!

Martin Gueorguiev is my sons cello teacher. He is not only an excellent teacher of all levels but a beautiful player as well. He shares a wealth of knowledge with his students, taking them to a high level of playing. My son has worked with Martin privately as well as in ensembles. I highly recommend him.

I am so pleased that I found WPMA as the academy and Mrs. Mayu as the teacher for my daughter to learn violin!Mrs. Mayu is a brilliant and passionate teacher. She is very experienced at explaining music in a way that is easily understandable, which inspires kids to learn and absorb the music, instead of memorize the music.My daughter started to learn from Mrs. Mayu since 2018 when she was 7 years old, and is continuing. In the past 2+ years, she have been so enjoying violin and she cherishes every single minute of classes with Mayu. Mayu is not only teaching her techniques, but also teaching her how to have violin as a joyful part of life! I fully trust Mrs. Mayu because I know she is doing all the right things to her students.

I am writing this review with the intention of providing some reference points for parents who are searching for a violin teacher for their children. We can only speak honestly from our own experience. I myself am an amateur violinist and aficionado for classical music, which would only make our effort more calibrating in search for a violin teacher for our son. We were fortunate to settle with Mr. Pu and have no plan to change teacher in a foreseeable future.With no reservation, I can say Mr. Pu is the best violin teacher we could find for our son. He has been able to observe issues, diagnose the problems, prioritize what to tackle. He sets the bar high for students and is adamant about technique foundation through pedagogical methods and standard music literature, which is indispensable for a student who wants to advance to his or her full potential. For a talented and diligent student, he has a commitment to the student’s overall musicianship development, going beyond just technical study and repertoire. He often uses analogies in his teaching to explain some technical difficulties to help the student understand the nuances that often make the outcome surprisedly different. Mr. Pu is also a very accomplished violinist. His students would only get inspired by beautifully playing through his demonstration during the lesson. This is especially true when a student is working on a challenging piece of music. In my opinion, Mr. Pu is a world-class violin teacher in many aspects, if not all.Truly,FZ

My daughter has been taking violin lessons for the past 4 years with Mrs. Virginia. She loves her teacher. Mrs. Virginia loves teaching kids. She has a lot of patience, and she tries different things to make children understand the concept. My daughter really enjoys her lessons, and she was very upset when she found out it she might have to switch teachers due to a scheduling conflict (she started middle school this year). Overall I am very pleased with WPMA, Mrs. Virginia and Mr. Pu. I miss the pre-Covid times when kids were having recitals.

Ive been leaning cello with Ms. Meng at school for 1year, shes so patient and engaging, I have a great learning experience and my cello improved a lot!I will continue to learn with her.

Working with Mr. Pu has been a dream come true. In the short time I have worked with Mr. Pu, my technique has improved tremendously. I progress with every lesson, and I feel more confident with the quality of sound I create. Mr. Pu tailors his instructions to meet his students’ needs, and is always very patient, clear, and encouraging. Mr. Pu knows how to engage his pupils, and his lessons are always focused but never stressful. I am honored to be studying violin at the William Pu Music Academy.

William Pu Music academy is an excellent music school and I have been impressed with the quality of music instruction for over six years. I have four children who have studied music at WPMA. Two have studied violin with Noriko Clift and two studied cello with Martin Gueorguiev . Both are outstanding educators who inspire their students to work hard and gain a passion for music. One of my children played in ASYO and another one played in EYSO. I’m grateful there is such a high quality music school in this area.

Guitar Lessons are great!

I have been a student with Mr.Pu for the past four years and could not have asked for a better teacher and academy to guide me through the path of majoring in music. Both the academy and Mr.Pu has given me the best possible resources and teachings for what I plan to pursue with music. The academy is great for those just starting and those who plan to do music very seriously. All the teachers are very committed and welcoming.

My kid is learning violin from Mr. Pu since last year. I am very pleased that I found him as my daughters violin teacher. He is not only the distinguished violinist, but also the renowned teacher. He always provides insightful feedback and motivation, whenever we meet for the lesson. My daughter loves his lesson. I am also satisfied with lots of learning opportunities from the William Pu Academy, such as recitals, master classes, orchestra, chamber music at summer camp, etc. This is an excellent place for music education.

I have only been going to the academy for about a year now, but this year has undoubtedly been the most progressive year I have had as a growing musician. I have had over ten private instructors over the years, but my current instructor, Ms. Amy, has taught me things that I have never seen or heard of from any other lesson teacher. I would 10/10 recommend this place if you are taking music more seriously, or if you are just looking for a highly experienced and knowledgeable lessons teacher.

We started violin lessons with Mrs. Patricia Stone last year at William Pu Academy. We love the school and the teacher. Mrs. Stone is beautiful and elegant. She is also strict and firm. She constantly corrects the fingers and bowing until the tone is prefect. The school has a lot of musical resources that benefits students.

My name is Charlotte, and working with Mrs.Chang and Mr.Pu has been so amazing! WPMA offers so many great classes for classical musicians of all ages, some of my favorites are sight reading classes, and music theory. The teachers teach with a lot of kindness, and humor, but at the same time, they teach very professionally. I have learned so much from my teachers, and because of WPMA I won first place in the 2019 GMTA competition (2nd and 3rd division). My experience here has been so great, and I have had a lot of memorable experiences here. I am looking forward to learning more at WPMA!

My daughter participated in a summer chamber music program last summer. Her experience was great with professional, experienced instructors and coaches. She was challenged yet had fun learning and performing with other young musicians among her age. Exciting thing was that she performed with one of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra musicians for the concert at the end of the program. I highly recommend the program.

Excellent academy! Both my children have been attending for three years (and continuing) and the teachers here are amazing! With a wide variety of classes for all skill levels, this is a must go to for a childs education in music.

Both my sons are learning violin at William Pu Music Academy. My elder son (age 11) has private lessons with Mr. Pu and my younger one (age 8) has private and group lessons with Ms. Virginia (Suzuki method). Both boys made great progress since they started about 8 months ago. The faculty at William Pu Music Academy are great musicians, and they are very patient with the kids. The monthly recital and master class not only give kids more performance and learning opportunities but also provide parents a discussion forum. The facility is very nice and clean, definitely better than all the home studios I have seen. I highly recommend this school!

Our fifteen-year-old daughter started taking violin lessons from Mr. Pu last year after taking lessons from her previous teacher for 9 years. She really loved working with her previous teacher, and we wanted to find the perfect person to be her new teacher. Several people (including her previous teacher) recommended Mr. Pu. After our first test lesson, it became obvious that Mr. Pu was the perfect fit; he is both an outstanding violinist/musician and an amazing teacher/mentor. He has inexhaustible knowledge in violin playing and suggests innovative ways to practice during each and every lesson. He is warm, positive, and caring, yet firm and demanding with high expectations. Thanks to his teaching, our daughter’s sound has improved dramatically during this past year; her sound is so much stronger and is starting to have many new colors. His school offers many great opportunities including performances and master classes with Atlanta’s most distinguished musicians. It is also inspiring to our daughter that he has many other strong violin students with whom she will have the opportunity to interact this summer at his violin boot camp! We live far from his school but the commute is definitely worthwhile. We look forward to another productive school year to come!

We are so blessed to have found Mr. Pu through the recommendation of one of his fellow ASO (Atlanta Symphony Orchestra) associates. My daughter (age 17), after 10 years of private lessons elsewhere, has really begun to blossom again through learning from William Pu. An incredibly talented teacher (as well as performer), who seemingly TIRELESSLY gives of his time and energy for his students, Mr. Pu is absolutely top notch, and we highly recommend him for your student, young or older.

My daughter has been taking violin lesson with Mr. William Pu for three years. Mr. Pu is an enthusiastic, talented musician with extraordinary teaching experience. His dedication to teaching is superb as shown through his classes and even I can tell the significant improvement in my daughters violin performance.When she started studying with him, we were unsure if she could make it into the All State Orchestra. After only a few weeks under Mr. Pus direction, she knew exactly how to perform the excerpts expressively while using the correct technique. His focus on technical elements improved her playing immensely in a very short amount of time because she wasnt straining as hard to achieve good intonation and sound. He has also always encouraged and challenged her to learn the nuances of each piece. These are some of the things my daughter will always cherish. I highly recommend Mr. Pu to any one whos interested in learning violin.

My daughter has been learning from Mr. Pu for 4 years now, and she absolutely adores his lessons, his teaching, and him as a person. Mr. Pu has not only improved my daughters playing and technique, but also taught her to be a hardworking and passionate person. During his lessons, he is a persistent teacher and his passion can be seen through his school, William Pu Music Academy. WPMA provides a quality music education that is very hard to find elsewhere; therefore, I would definitely recommend William Pu Music Academy to anyone who loves music and is willing to learn an instrument!

Our 8 year son has been studying the violin for 3 years at this music academy with Virginia Sloan. Virginia is a great teacher for young children, and Marty has been a very motivated student throughout these years.

My daughter enjoys taking Suzuki lessons from Ms. Virginia at WP Music Academy and has progressed rapidly since joining 1 year ago. She is encouraged both in the traditional methodology and to be creative and challenge herself.

The William Pu Music Academy is a fine institution with teachers like Mr. Pu who really care about the musical education and experience for their students. My daughter has been learning with Mr. Pu for about 6 years now. She knows that if she ever has any questions, she can ask Mr. Pu.We really appreciate Mr. Pu did everything for my daughter.Thanks,Lynn

The William Pu Music Academy is an exceptional place which provides high quality, professional level music instruction in not only strings, but piano, voice, woodwinds, and brass. The quality of teachers is amazing! I highly recommend WPMA and give it 5 stars!

William Pu Music Academy has helped me tremendously in my music related ambitions. The teachers there are extremely supportive, friendly, and helpful regarding all aspects of improving practice and playing. My teacher, Dr. Raffi Besalyan, has not only given me a deeper understanding of piano technique, but also numerous opportunities to obtain real world experience through live performances.

My daughter has been taking violin lesson with Mr. Pu in the William Pu Music Academy since 2013. There is high quality professional faculty in this academy, and the facility gives off an artistic atmosphere. My daughter benefits immensely from the various programs such as private and group lessons, monthly recitals, masterclasses with top musicians, music theory classes, summer music camps and community activities. She has made huge progress technically and musically. Another violin teacher Ms. Noriko Clift is also excellent. They are all dedicated musicians and musical educators. WPMA is the best place to study music.

WPMA: Quality music education provided by exceptional teachers at stunning facilities!I have been playing viola for the last eight years, and the level of improvement in both viola performance and chamber music performance I have acquired over the past year after switching to WPMA is remarkable. Mr. Pu, Ms. Amy, and the rest of the WPMA teachers never fail to encourage their students to go above and beyond, both on and off stage. Not only does WPMA provide students with high quality music education during regular lessons, WPMA also provides their students with additional playing and learning opportunities through masterclasses and summer programs.I cannot recommend WPMA enough for other young musicians wanting to dramatic improve their playing abilities. If you are wanting to jumpstart your emerging music career or simply want to get better at your instrument, please do not hesitate to consider taking lessons at WPMA.

My son has been going to william pu music academy for about 5 years.such a professional, friendly environment. Ms virginia has been his teacher.we could not be asking for a better teacher! Skilled in teaching,kind ,dedicated,and yet tough when she needs to be.My son has enjoyed her class for all these years!

Good place to go to music school at.
