Review by Halsey
"She is patient and tries to find new and creative ways to improve learning. She doesnt just teach to simply learn just enough to play an instrument but ra
ther to master not only the instrument but the whole philosophy and theory around music as well..Simply put her teaching style is that of attending a music college but much much less spent and more one on one instruction"

"My first lesson in many many years! You may as well say I was a beginner. As an adult learner, I need a type of instruction that will leave me motivated t
o continue and Jill was just PERFECT. Knowledgeable, patient, she uses tricks and techniques to facilitate learning. I learned so much in just the first lesson. I am very motivated to continue and to get to a point where I can actually play!"

Review by Joy
"Victor has the rare ability to both inspire and equip a budding musician. Often, a teachers may be enthusiastic but may lack in practical, effective tech
niques to enable a student to truly excell. There are also the cases in which an instructor has excellent info to share, but lacks the spark and fun needed for a child to truly benefit. Victor has both. He took our frustrated daughter who was convinced she could not do this thing called cello, and gave her both the tools to succeed and the drive to work. As a former music educator myself, I recommend him with my highest regards."

My son just started violin lessons with Jenae and after barely a month is making great progress and staying motivated, even though he's starting this endeavor at almost 11 years old. Jenae's approach is very encouraging and methodical. We have been very pleased with our choice.

About Kristina
I was graduated from Kaliningrad Regional Music College as a piano and theory of music teacher. I have an experience of teaching for 2 years in music school. Remembering myself as a kid going to music theory classes was a scariest thing for me, cause i didn't have any preparation before the 1 year in music school. After couple years of hard work on home tasks i realized that i was one of the smartest kids in the group that had all "A" grades. During college years i found a great teachers that showed me how to find the options to explain even hardest lessons in a simple way and make feel students/kids comfortable and happy about studying. Collecting all those knowledges i would love to make our lessons full of positive and delightful moments.
