Isabel K. says, "We interviewed a few violin teachers hoping to find one who has experience teaching children as young as 3+, which is when our son started, and neither of us are violinists. Our son asked for a violin when he was 3 and we wanted to fulfill his wish. The task of finding a suitable teacher is harder than one thinks. Kids at that age are active, have limited communication skills, and teachers can underestimate their capabilities, but likewise, children are very good at manipulating the situation and it can turn into a stressful situation for the parents + teacher. After 4 months with Miss Dennie I want to commend her for her patience and keeping the class fun. She is very patient with our son, teaches him seasonal songs (Halloween and Christmas right now), teaches him piano during breaks and also a bit of dance. She is very expressive with her movements and we can see him copying her movements when he practices at home which is great to have violin role models like that. We also like that she has a lot of knowledge about music programs and activities in the Bay Area so as to give us options as our son gets older and better. The analogies and narration she uses so he comprehends music tempos, interpretation, etc, are very much in-line with what he's able to comprehend at his young age. We also appreciate the feedback she gives us with regards to his progress. Our son is very committed to violin (despite his young age!) and we commend Miss Dennie for taking this seriously by continuously stimulating him and giving him a well-rounded experience." Read more

Scott L. says, "Gloria is an absolutely brilliant pianist and instructor. Most importantly, she does not use a one-size-fits-all approach. She watches how her students learn, what works, and what doesn't, and modifies her instructional approach to the student which has been extremely helpful in my case. I could not recommend her more highly." Read more

Sara T. says, "We highly recommend Emanuela for violin lessons. All 3 of our children have lessons with her. My older 2 daughters have been with her for about 4 years, and our youngest son for the last year. All 3 enjoy their lessons and have made tremendous progress, despite the last 6 months having lessons exclusively online (they are now having some outdoor lessons, maintaining social distancing protocols with everyone wearing masks). My children are invested in their learning and practice independently because Emanuela talks to them about what her expectations are and what they need to do to master a piece. These days, when they like a song, they will ask me to look for the violin sheet music and they have even asked for extra lessons with Emanuela to get the support they need to learn a new piece, like music from Dear Evan Hansen, Frozen 2, or Newsies. Emanuela has found the balance between being firm but warm--holding my children to what she knows they are capable of doing, but empathizing when they are tired or having an off day. She communicates with my husband and me proactively and makes suggestions on adjustments that can be made with scheduling, set up, or other relevant factors, so that she can better meet their needs. She is invested in our children's musical development and goes above and beyond--organizing violin seminars for all her students to play together in the school where they are at (pre-COVID--this was a highlight for my kids to be able to sit with their friends and play together. She has also been able to organize this virtually). During COVID, she will oftentimes spend more time with my children especially when she sees they need time to warm up on a virtual platform. She sends us videos of music they are learning so that they can hear it, and will send bow markings on pieces via email attachments so that my children can better learn a piece. My son really struggled with piano lessons prior to starting violin, and we thought we would see the same challenges with violin, but Emanuela has been able to reach him, teach him, and tap into potential we did not know was there. He has made tremendous progress in the last year and while practicing piano was always a chore, practicing the violin is a joy for him, and something that he pursues independently. I can only attribute that to the high caliber of instruction he is receiving under Emanuela. Emanuela has filled our home with music during an incredible stressful period of time. Her flexibility, commitment, and diligence has been a source of comfort in our home. She has been sensitive to our needs as a family, compassionate and sympathetic to our reality as working parents of 3 children. She has brought consistency, taught my children the value of discipline and practice, creatively planned lessons to inspire them (e.g. themed music for Halloween), treated them with respect and gently redirected them when they are not being respectful. She is more than a violin teacher; she has become indispensable to my children's education on the whole, because learning how to play an instrument is ultimately a lesson in patience, consistency, and collaboration. We are so very grateful for the guidance and support that she has provided, and cannot imagine our children's musical education in more capable hands than hers." Read more

Jay C. says, "I have been working with Leon for 5 years. He has helped me become a violist in demand in many organizations. Leon is a master teacher who understands the ins and outs of learning process, and he makes adjustments on-the-fly, in order for us to meet my goals. My learning needs are definitely non-traditional. With every lesson, I bring in something I'd like to be able to learn (oftentimes unreasonable). But Leon sees it as a challenge and a puzzle, and somehow finds a way for me to learn the piece. And in the process, my knowledge and skills increase. I've also had the privilege of sitting in on advanced/professional players taking violin lessons from Leon. He seamlessly transitions from topics of artistic expression to elemental techniques to musicology in the same discussion relevant to the lesson topic. In any endeavor, it's not easy coming across a master teacher. You will be in good hands, whether you are an adult starter, a child, a beginner, or an advanced player preparing for auditions, or even a professional player looking for a confidential second set of ears. Leon is also very flexible with appointments. I personally have most of my lessons during weekday day times (as I work weeknights and weekend nights). He's also accommodated emergency lessons and instrument repairs on occasions!" Read more
