Elia is an excellent teacher. Very patient and engaging.. she has fostered a love of clarinet in my 9 year old daughter
I am an adult clarinetist that has been working with Elia for more than 6 months. Elia is attentive and always thinks of the students needs first. She has the best formula set up for teaching and learning. She covers all aspects of the instrument. She is caring and giving. Sharing sheet music and always looking to fine tune the students performance. I look forward to our weekly sessions. I'm so grateful to have her as my instructor.
I'm an adult and lifelong musician, and I'd always wanted to learn clarinet, so I started taking lessons with Elia several months ago as a complete beginner. She has been absolutely incredible. She clued in to my strengths and weaknesses right away, and I've quickly started seeing major improvements in both my playing and my self-confidence. Her style is warm and attentive, and she gives clear, actionable instruction. I look forward to my lesson every week and couldn't recommend her more highly!
