Rebecca is a wonderful teacher. My son loves going to saxophone lessons.
Wonderful teacher
Rebecca is a wonderful piano teacher. She is very patient and professional. I recommend her highly to anyone (both young and old).
First day of my daughter’s vocal lesson , was straight forward, direct , she made count of every minute since it’s only short 30mins session , made the drive and time worth.
Looking forward for more good sessions.
Before taking the violin lessons with Rebecca, I had no knowledge in music whatsoever. She makes everything understandable. She has taught so much. I'm really glad that I have her as my violin instructor.
Rebecca is so sweet and my son is already looking forward to his next lesson!
Rebecca is an amazing person and one of the best teacher my son has ever had. She very knowledgeable about music. Rebecca tough him to play the bassoon, and my son has preformed in more than 4 concerts within 7 months period, Rebecca really made a difference in my child performance. She is reliable, very responsible, she always go the extra mile for her students. I highly recommend her as a music teacher.
