Parents' testimonials about Ms Juliana's teaching
Juliana is the perfect teacher for Luke! Her approach is supportive yet challenging, and there is no question about her extraordinary knowledge and skill level. She allows Luke to select some songs to practice and learn, pieces that he finds innately fun and interesting, while she also introduces him to skill-level appropriate songs. Juliana’s approach to teaching (and overall personality!) is fun and encouraging. Luke improves week by week and continues to fall in love with the piano as his time with Juliana continues. We would consider no one else for his lessons. - Luke's dad, Alex
Ms Juliana is an absolute joy to have as a music teacher! Not only does she teach different practices (one child takes piano lessons and one child takes voice lessons) but she is gifted at figuring out how each learner learns best. She taps into this and motivates, inspires and shares wins with each child in a very personalized, positive way. We are so thankful to have her in our lives and enjoy watching our children’s love of music grow! - Carly ad Maggie's mom, Katie
