My two children both started taking piano lessons with Ms. Narina when they were around 6. Ms. Narina was recommended to us via a fiend whose son was also a paino student.
Now my oldest daughter has been studying piano for around 3 years and my son started about 1 year ago. We have been very happy with their progress. Ms. Narina is very professional, yet patient and loving. My children look forward to their sessions every time. Thank you, Ms. Narina!
