I have 3 daughters of different ages so I like that she works with young adults as well as young children. Yamila is very good with students. She has incredible patience and is great with smaller children. Also, she teaches students to read, instead of memorizing, music from the very beginning. My daughters have been her students for many years and love going to class with her. She is very passionate about music and is very dedicated to the musical growth of her students. I especially like that She organizes various guilds throughout the year so that the students can play before professional judges and receive feedback and ratings. This keeps the students motivated. I highly recommend her Yamila.
