J. S. says, "I signed up my hesitant 7-year old son for piano lessons. He had already participated in more than a few sports and I wanted to make sure he was exposed to diverse enrichment activities. We chose Juliana simply because of proximity. And I'm glad we did.
My son is stubborn and did not want to take lessons. However, Juliana was warm and engaging right from the start. Her studio was in her house and was very inviting and comfortable.
Juliana spoke to my son in a very calm and supportive manner and encouraged him every step of the way. The first lesson was tough, he really didn't want to do anything, but Juliana sat down right next to him and showed him how fun piano could be by playing a few goofy tunes. My son slowly warmed and towards the end of the hour, he was fully engaged. Each week got better, my son became more engaged, and his progress was measurable.
Juliana's demeanor and encouragement kept my son engaged and motivated. We took lessons almost every week for two years before Juliana moved. My son is now 12 and still plays the piano. We have found other teachers who are good but Juliana was still the best.
