He studied music and psychology, and graduated from San Diego State University where he studied piano performance with Dr. Karen Follingstad, conducting with Dr. Shannon Kitelinger and piano pedagogy with Dr. Toni James. With his musical and conducting experiences, he took up a position as a choir director to serve the community at his church.
    Mr. Khoi has been inspiring students of all ages to discover the amazing power that music has to cultivate a profound and beneficial source of learning to nourish hearts and minds – creatively, socially, academically, cognitively, and more – for which his students, no matter what the goals, have learned from his insights and musical passion to enrich their pianistic talents that they’ll carry with them for the rest of their lives. Under his instruction and teaching philosophy, he designs a unique lesson plan to meet students’ personal musical goals and interests. Mr. Khoi loves to make students feel good about themselves. His piano teaching opens the doors of opportunities for his students to express their talent and give them a desire and confidence to share it with others.

    The National Piano Guild Certificates

               Everyone can say that they have been learning piano music for years but not all piano students are provided opportunities to earn national certifications that celebrate their levels and achievements. When taking piano lessons with Brightstar PianoForté Studio, we believe it’s important to establish learning goals and specific directions in our music programs of this instrument. We provide programs of National Piano Guild Certificates which offer a higher standard curriculum to achieve significant goals of musical excellence and signify the level of music study as well as a measurement for the progress of our students. The piano Guild program is essentially designed to thoroughly prepare students of all levels who make excellent efforts to take the discipline and greater concentration necessary to pass the examinations and all repertoire performances for certificates provided by the Music Educators National Association. In addition to helping students (from beginning to advanced levels) achieve these certificates, Mr. Khoi, the owner of the studio, also has a solid curriculum of his lesson plan to help high school seniors obtain a high school diploma in music or those who plan to audition for the admission into Bachelor of Music programs at universities. For more details on the enrollment process of these programs, please contact the principal teacher for consultations or any questions.
