lent teacher, helping them to discover a love of playing. From her, they also gained a solid base in music theory. Under her tutelage, both advanced easily (or so it seemed to me the parent) in the annual merit certificate exams. With seven years difference in age, each son had very different needs. Laima had the 'just right' approach for both of them. Gentle, supportive, but also clear with her expectations, she worked with them through ups and downs in their own commitment and effort. She also created wonderful opportunities for them to perform. Both continue to play to this day, with my youngest considering music as a possible career. We were sorry that she moved out of our area in 2012. I recommend her highly!"

teachers and this is what I always tell people: I learned nothing from the first one (she only lasted one or two lessons), I learned my foundations from my second teacher (who I was with from ages 4-10), and I learned my musicality from Mario.

Mario is incredibly passionate about music and passes it onto his students. Since I had already learned basics (i.e. I already knew how to read music), I didn't know what to expect. However, I never could have reached the levels of technical mastery, emotional connection, and style I have without him.

I took 1 hour lessons once a week with Mario for almost 5 years.
At that time, we (his students) were not performing in recitals. Instead, Mario prepared us for an annual audition for the American College of Musicians / National Guild of Piano Teachers, of which I am the recipient of multiple awards.

I am so grateful for the time I spent as his student!"

He has help me understand the mechanics of technique and how to practice."

in Middle School and continued with private lessons from her throughout High School. I saw major improvement throughout my time with Mrs. Forbrizzio and with her help I was able to achieve so much as a member of the South Carolina District Orchestra and the South Carolina Youth Philharmonic Orchestra. I learned a lot from Mrs. Forbrizzio and through her encouragement and dedication I was able to gain skills beyond the basics that really made learning and playing the violin challenging in the best of ways. I learned to appreciate different styles of music and even how to find my own niche when it came to playing. The one on one time I spent learning from her was truly the best monetary investment as well as investment of time I ever made for my music education."

music as well as a talented musician; he brings much more to his lessons than the typical teacher. In addition, he always meets my son where he is in terms of interests, preferences and predilections - he has kept my son moving forward with his musical pursuits where others have failed! Lastly, he is a warm, kind person as well as flexible and understanding. I would recommend him to anyone!"
