William Pu Music Academy 330 Prospect Place, Alpharetta, GA 30005

"My daughter has studied with Mr Pu for 4 years and we only wish we had found the academy sooner! She looks forward to her lessons, has gained confidence and tremendously improved her technique. The support and encouragement from Mr Pu and his faculty have been amazing. My daughter wants to be the best orchestral member she can be. He helps her find ensemble performance opportunities and continues to challenge her to tackle repertoire that will improve her technique and musicality. We cannot recommend the academy enough-- we drive over an hour each way for her lessons and would never think of having her anywhere else. We would give more than 5 stars if we could!"

"My 14 year old daughter has been playing the violin since 7 years old and we just switched to Mr Pu over the summer . We did not realize she had developed some bad habits .Mr Pu has been working diligently to help her overcome these habits . He has a passion for teaching and truly cares about her development as a musician. What he is teaching my daughter will make her a far better , more beautiful sounding player . We only wish we had made the switch sooner !"

"I has been taking lessons with Mr. William Pu for three years now, and I have found that he teaches with a very high standard. In order for me to understand how to play better, Mr. Pu uses a lots of examples to explain each new musical and technical concept. He is very strict but very patient, and I have made great progress since I started. I could not have asked for a better teacher and highly recommend Mr. Pu and WPMA."

"I have been studying with Mr. Pu for 5 years now and it has taken my playing to the next level. Because of Mr. Pu, I have won the GCYS Concerto Competition this year and have been participating in all state orchestra for a couple of years. I am so lucky that I can learn with Mr. Pu. All of the staff working there are so nice and helpful. The academy gives lots of opportunities for students such as the Atlanta Festival Academy, chamber orchestras, and guest masterclasses. All of these opportunities helped my playing grow even more."

"For many years I have heard from various people, including former students of William Pu, about how amazing of a teacher Mr.Pu was and that he was worth every penny of tuition. I didn’t fully understand what they meant until I began taking lessons from him earlier this year. Since I started taking lessons with Mr.Pu, my friends, school orchestra director, and even my sister have told me that they hear an improvement in how I play the violin. Through Mr.Pu pointing out flaws in my playing that I have never noticed before and teaching me new ways to think about how to play the violin, my practicing has increased in efficiency as Mr.Pu’s teachings help me practice smarter. Tricky techniques or difficult measures in my repertoire that I haven’t been able to understand before have become clearer to me with each lesson I have with Mr.Pu. These experiences have made me be able to confidently say that Mr.Pu is a great teacher; he truly is worth every penny and more! I’m very grateful that Mr.Pu teaches in Georgia and consider myself very lucky to be able to learn from him!"
