I was nervous about online lessons but it worked perfectly and Concetta is a fabulous teacher. I’m looking forward to next lessons!

As a French student, I can tell that Concetta is perfectly adapting to my way of learning. I know music for a long time but I'm a beginner with viola. I thought it would be a very hard exercise to practice but with Concetta's advices, I constantly and rapidly improve my technique. Five stars is the minimum I can give !

Concetta is a wonderful instructor - prior to my lesson I was feeling nervous - not sure what to expect, not feeling worthy, etc. - she quickly put me at ease and we had a very productive 1st lesson - well worth the investment of my time and money

I haven’t ever enjoyed a music lesson as much as I do with Concetta. 
Concetta is warm, charismatic, and truly loves what she does which inspires me to keep going. 
It’s the hour that I look forward to the most each week!

My first lesson with Concetta was great. I received a lot of good feedback and things to work on for this first week. Really looking forward to lesson 2 next week!

Concetta is a super knowledgable and supportive teacher! She adjusts her teaching to student interests and needs. She teaches in a lovely space and if you are super lucky you will meet her adorable dog, pepper <3. I highly recommend her!

Hire Concetta, especially to support a beginning violin player!  She is warm, professional and very adept at finding your child's musical strengths and then identifying material to help them access and enjoy the music and instrument.  AKA GOOD TIMES for all and excited to continue...as it should be.  Thank you Concetta for your expertise and flexibility with schedule.   Keri-Ann

Concetta is a great instructor - she has been willing to work with me to create a lesson plan that works for my schedule and my learning style.  I would absolutely recommend Concetta for anyone looking to learn a musical instrument.

Concetta was/terrific and extremely helpful and kind.

It was truly a pleasure meeting Concetta for my first ever violin lesson. It is difficult to learn anything at the age 40, specially a musical instrument, but she made it comfortable and easy to understand. She's extremely patient a key quality when teaching a subject such a music to anyone. I would say, give her teaching style a try and you won't regret it. Very knowledgeable indeed.

She was great, first lesson and I learned a lot about how to improve my singing, demonstrably so.  Very pleased, looking forward to continuing.

Very patient and beyond knowledgeable! I haven't done anything with TakeLessons before and my online class was hosted via skype so it was easy to get connected and learn at my own pace. I like that my lessons will be tailored to my style and my level of musical understanding. She has excellent follow-up for after the lessons as well. I'm excited to be a student again :)

Concetta is a wonderful and very patient instructor. She engages the kids and her enthusiasm is contagious.
