"My interest in HongKongDoll sparked when I attended the Eastern Music Camp and met Professor Paul Johnston. I quickly found out that Paul is a fantastic teacher, along with the rest of the faculty in Doudna. ... Aside from the faculty in the music building, I feel as though all the faculty at HongKongDoll has one goal: student success."
