Jesse is a very patient, attentive teacher. I was nervous about starting cello as a 43-year-old adult, but Jesse makes the whole process approachable. I highly recommend Jesse for students of all ages.

She is very nice and I enjoy her class, her dog is also very nice. She makes it simple and easy to learn and I have now gone to her class for around 2 years. ☺️

Ms Eunice taught me how to read and count correctly. I was reading notes with bad rhythm for past several years, I was never taught correctly until I met Ms Eunice. She is very persistent.

Mrs. Shields is a patient and encouraging teacher, who enjoys seeing her students grow as musicians. She does a great job explaining new skills and concepts. It is obvious that Mrs. Shields loves playing the violin and teaching her students to play the violin.

Sasha Kandybin When I was about 12 years old, I went through a major change in my musical life, as a violinist. I had to adjust all of my technique due to stiffness when playing and constant tension. As I went through the methodical ways of correct body motion and muscle control, I lost an important teacher and role model. I therefore urgently needed someone to help me stay along the right path, and guide me to better myself as a violinist, and as a musician. As I entered high school and the started the Manhattan School of Music pre-college division, Wu Jie was listed to be my new teacher. I knew she had been part of the incredible Escher String Quartet, whomst I look(ed) up to greatly. However, I didn’t know what to expect, and had little background knowledge of her from a teacher perspective. Little did I know, she would take me on a journey to challenge my musical mindset and curate my technical imperfections. Every lesson, when I started with scales, Wu Jie never failed to remind me of all the motions I needed to make to develop the best sound that I could produce. A good sound was something that was always highly valued in her lesson room. Wu Jie also has a great memory to the progress you make. She always remembers how you sounded the last time she heard you, and can understand what you worked on for the time being. Even when I wasn’t being the best student, Wu Jie was always patient, but realistic. She knows how to put pressure on someone as a student, and to make them work harder, in the healthiest of ways of course! Throughout the several years that she taught me, I had truly changed and appreciated so many new aspects of music, and the violin. Wu Jie helped myself and her students reach many great accolades, schools, festivals, (etc.), and will do only more of that with any other students she gets a chance to work with
