My 9 year old daughter has been taking lessons from Stella for more than a year now. I sit with her during each lesson and so I am able to observe the lessons. To me, Stella has the ability to be patient but also strict. She teaches each concept diligently and in an easy-to-understand manner. My daughter looks forward to lessons every week and enjoys Stellas company immensely. Stella knows how to interact with children and how to earn their respect. My daughter feels so proud when shes able to perform her songs and loves performing on the recitals Stella organizes!

Stella is an amazing piano teacher! Our children LOVE her and enjoy playing and practicing the piano a lot. She has taught them more than any of our previous teachers. She always makes piano fun for the kids and always gives 100% on every lesson. Highly recommend her!

Stella is very knowledgeable in her field. She is an excellent piano teacher. I love hearing her play all her pieces by Chopin, Rachmaninoff, etc. It is a delight to be her student.
