Ms. Natalia is one of the most patient yet challenging teachers I have ever had. She taught me how to read music sheets, music theory, styles, and introduced me to various genres that sounded beautiful; all of this fueling my passion for piano. I am a slow learner when it comes to piano and memorization, but she really adapted to my pace while still pushing me to do my best, giving me the perfect amount of challenge while still not overwhelming me. I was honestly surprised by my own progress speed, as it usually takes me a while to pick up on learning things. No matter how many times I would do the same thing wrong, she was always persistent and patient in pointing out each mistake I made to make sure I never formed any bad playing habits. I feel like I got really lucky to have her as my first piano teacher; she is a very knowledgeable, kind, understanding, diligent, and patient teacher. If you give Ms. Natalia a chance you will find that she's truly a gem of a teacher!
