    About Monica G.

    5.0
    (10)
    I'm a performing artist and music teacher. I received my Bachelors and Masters degree in vocal performance at Boston's New England Conservatory, where I was a member of the jazz, classical, and third-stream departments. I also spent 8 years gigging in Berlin, Germany and teaching adults and teenagers. However, I've always also enjoyed working with kids; especially introducing them to music through piano, language, movement, role-playing, and singing. I have the most experience teaching piano, and I think it's the best instrument to start on, if you don't know much about music. But flute was my first instrument, and singing is my forte!

    Monica is a great instructor. She instructs a lot of children and has tons of patience and a great sense of humor - I'm an adult and this patience and humor carries over to my age group as well. She's excellent with all types of music on the piano and vocal coaching as well - she'll learn anything you want and teach it back to you - she's tough too, make sure you do the basics, and you'll get a lot out of her instruction.

    Very professional and very kind. I hope my daughter could learn singing and flute from Ms. Monica in the future too. Thank you, Ms. Monica!
