“Although I have had excellent teachers in the past, studying with (Irvine School of Music faculty member) Cameron has been a revelation in more ways than one…He has transformed my awareness of my body in relation to the piano, including the way I sit and the relationship among my body, my arms, my wrists, and my fingers…I can now accomplish things on the piano that I could not before…he is the finest piano teacher I have ever had”

“Cameron Tong has been teaching piano to our 8 year old and 5 year girls. He manages to be young, energetic, inventive, fun, and strict at the same time. We pay attention to the details without it being a chore. Our older child had taken lessons from another teacher and we are progressing faster, yet he stresses the foundation of good piano playing.”
