Testimonials

"Paul Kwo is the best voice coach I've ever had the privilege of working with. He is not just one of those teachers who tell you whether you're flat or sharp. He actually takes the time to work on every single note and every single word to perfect the song to the best of your ability. Not only does he work on the technical side of songs but he also works on the emotional side of songs which not many teachers do. He puts his heart and soul into every lesson bringing out the best in each student."

Amelia L.

Teenage Voice Student

"I have two girls ages nine and eight taking piano lessons from Paul for about one year. I have seen improvements in their ability to read sheets music and play them. The children are also assigned homework to create their own music. Paul adjusts his teaching based on the skill level of each children so that it is not above their head nor too simple for them. Paul continuously challenge them to do better. I trust Paul as my children's piano instructor."

"Poprock Academy in my opinion is like a second home. The lobby is very comforting and the people are very welcoming. I'm a voice, acting, and dance student and i can say that i believe that i have improved a lot. In general, i love this place, not only does it feel like home to me, but the welcoming aura from the people has made me love this place. Not to mention that it is all very reasonably priced. I love poprock and i know i always will."
