This background information is from the Capistrano Connections Academy website written three years after the taping of the video of Tiffany Koo playing Chopin's Nocturne #20 in c sharp minor shown below. I find it amazing that online school can be successful even at Tiffany's young age in allowing her the flexibility to continue her piano studies at her advanced level.
Tiffany is an eight-year-old second grader at Capistrano Connections Academy (CapoCA). She lives in Redlands, California. She is a professional pianist who travels the world performing in concerts and competitions.
Tiffany is a quickly rising piano prodigy. She started playing piano at the age of two and amazingly played Chopin at just five years old. She has gone on to perform before large audiences, who don’t frighten the talented artist.
The balancing act for Tiffany comes when trying to manage her love for piano and school. After encountering issues with balancing her schedule between piano and academics, Tiffany was enrolled in Capistrano Connections Academy. The program has allowed her to pursue her passion for performing in piano concerts and develop her academic education as well. Her mother says...
“...Since joining CapoCA , Tiffany can access and review school work anytime from anywhere, this makes her study convenient and efficient, which results in more time available for her music. Now we are confident about her learning, especially the school’s intuitive online program which helped Tiffany to excel academically." (See Source)
