She is very patient with my son as he is a 1st time learner. She explains thoroughly and never shows frustration nor judgment while doing so. She continually gives praise throughout the practice but will give pointers when needed, all in a friendly way. My son looks forward to his weekly lessons and loves learning from Cecilia.

I've known Cecilia for a very long time, both as students together and as a professional, and I can vouch for her professionalism, her love for music, and her ability to pass on knowledge. She will be a wonderful teacher for all your needs regardless of your level.

Excellent instruction. Patient, kind, thorough, structured, Very detail oriented and she has Highest education in her field (Doctoral).
I learned that she also perform almost everyday with the orchestra, she can also teach a lot of things about live performances. Her fee is super low considering that she is highly qualified teacher. You won’t regret it!

Cecilia was the best!
Our daughter was in highschool in Minneapolis when she took lessons with Cecilia who was completing her PhD and she was so patient and kind in her teaching.
While taking lessons with Cecilia, our daughter moved up a number of levels in the orchestra and also had a lot of fun playing!
We highly recommend her for Violin lessons at any level.
