It will be a privilege if your child can take classes with Irina. With over 30 years of experience, Irina is a wonderful instructor. Her passion for music and the violin will make the class a magical moment, keeping the student engaged and motivated the entire time. Irina was my violin teacher for 7 years, and I will be forever grateful for all her teachings, advice, and knowledge. She will teach the student violin, piano, music theory, harmony, music history, and any other musical subject needed. Her talent, professionalism, and expressiveness when she plays the violin will captivate you. Hearing her play is truly a wonderful and indescribable experience. If you want your child to enjoy playing the violin and develop all their technical and expressive skills, Irina is, without a doubt, the best option. Read More

Irina is an educador you don’t get to find twice in your life. She not only is an amazing performer and teacher, she also encourages you daily to give the best version of yourself. I received violin l essons from Irina since i was 8 years old, and the empathy and patience i experienced was one of a kind. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced student, you will always find the best musical advice and treatment from her. Read More

I am so fortunate to be studying with such a knowledgeable, motivating , patient and devoted Voice teacher. Jill W has changed my way of thinking about music -and my singing practices. I finally know how to take care of my voice. I sing mostly classical and just started branching out to musical theatre. My auditions are going so well and our lessons fill me with joy and excitement. Thank you Jill! Read More

The lessons are coming along greatly and I’m learning a lot in a short time. He is a very patient teacher especially with a student like me who’s starting at such a late stage.

My daughter had her first lesson with Ursula and literally by the end of the session I heard such a difference in her vocals, the confidence she gained and the self awareness of knowing how far her ra nge could go was just amazing. Ursula gave her so many techniques that helped tremendously. Not to mention her overall personality! We instantly felt comfortable. She was very warm, sweet, inviting and has impeccable communication skills-l never had to question her or double back on anything. My daughter is so excited to continue working with her (she wont stop practicing around the house lol) and I cannot wait to hear the development in her voice. Ursula is TRULY a gem! Read More

Hiring Ursula to support my daughter’s singing and musical development has been a complete success! I’ve been impressed with how professional Ursula is - she arrives prepared with high interest mater ial and on time to every meeting. My daughter had been very shy of “sharing her voice” with those outside of our immediate family, and Ursula, being very relatable, immediately broke through with her. After a couple of meetings, my daughter auditioned for role in a musical and got the part! Prior to the experience working with Ursula, her anxiety and lack of confidence had led to her canceling auditions. Their meetings have been engaging and fun ever since the first session, with my daughter trying her best and really stretching throughout the weekly lesson. My daughter’s confidence has grown and I credit Ursula with enabling this positive development! Read More

Lev is an outstanding voice teacher!! He is excellent with children and very patient with teaching them the necessary skills to be successful singers.

I started taking piano lessons as an adult, and Doug has been a great teacher. He’s patient, supportive, and always takes the time to make sure I’m learning the right techniques. He tailors lessons to my pace and makes the process rewarding. Highly recommend him for anyone at any level looking to learn! Read More

Sandy is awesome! Learned so much. She is always encouraging and motivated me to believe that I could learn to sing. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to develop their singing voice.

As an adult trying to learn a new instrument, Jonathan has been wonderful. I have learned so much about music theory as well as how to play. I appreciate most the way Jonathan answers all my questions every lesson and take time to make sure I understand what I need to improve and progress. I am impressed by how much I learn each week and how much I improve. Read More

It is my pleasure to recommend this extraordinary, patient and dedicated Voice teacher. Jill gave me the inspiration and technique to get in to the Conservatory I am currently studying. She taught me how to practice and select repertoire for auditions. She works with all styles of singers and I was so fortunate to have met her at a master class. I am forever grateful to her and highly recommend this musical professional. Read More

Jonathan a gifted violin teacher with a flexible, supportive approach. I love taking lessons with him. He does a great job of exposing students to the traditional vocabulary and approaches and at the same time comes at teaching from a new angle, explaining things in different ways to find what clicks. The breadth of his musical influences is also wonderful and makes it even more exciting to continue to grow musically. Also, I'm returning to violin after a long time, and he is so understanding of the differences (strengths as well as challenges) for an adult learner. I recommend him enthusiastically for any level of player. Read More

As a student of Elisa's for over four years now, I am proud to call her my viola teacher! Elisa's pedagogy and teaching experience are rich, and they work for musicians of all ages. Elisa ha s cultivated my growth as a violist from a beginning orchestra student to the college level. Having helped me prepare for auditions, solo performances, and orchestra concerts over the years, Elisa has helped me develop techniques and practice methods that I've applied to all types of music literature. Furthermore, Elisa's studio is the perfect balance between high standards and an encouraging & positive atmosphere. Her passion for music and her students is so evident to me, making for a unique and impactful learning experience. As a student of Elisa's, I've learned to play not just the right notes & rhythms, but to play with passion, intent, and joy. For anyone interested in music lessons, I wholeheartedly recommend Elisa.

We are learning! My son is very active, maybe on the ADHD side, it is not easy to teach a 7y old boy who would rather be elsewhere. But we are making progress and Jonathan is pulling us forward. Well done and thank you! Read More

I've been taking violin lessons from Elisa for a year and a half. Her love for teaching is very evident in every lesson, and I never leave without having learned something new. She's very pa tient, accommodating, and makes each lesson a fun experience, and I always look forward to the next lesson each week. I would very much recommend her for anyone wanting to learn how to play the violin! Read More

Johnathan is incredible to work with and his lessons was something I looked forward to each week. He’s consistently positive, funny, and encouraging. He was incredibly flexible and understanding about lesson changes or limited practice time when life was busy. Johnathan provides an endless amount of resources, practice strategies/tips, and advice based off what works best for you. I worked with him for 1.5 years in college and can no more highly recommend a teacher than I do Johnathan. Read More

Jonathan worked with My 7th grade grandaughter. His calm nature eased her into a relaxed repair. We had to take time off due to end of school year activities and summer and plan to start back up once time allows. I would reccommend Jonathan as he exceeded my expections! Read More

I have been Sandy's student for 3-1/2 months. At 71, I didn't know if my vocal cords would be in a condition to allow me to carry a tune. Sandy has been a blessing, and I thoroughly enjoy w orking with her. Her teaching methods are excellent, she is funny, and I consider her a friend. Yes, you can sing at any age with the proper vocal exercises she prescribes. I know that for a fact because my wife doesn't wear earplugs when I'm practicing anymore! Read More

Thanks for being such a good teacher for Ling. She really enjoyed the time you had together while learning how to play the drums. We hope you are doing ok and that everything goes well for you.

I have been very satisfied with my lessons with Morris Jack. The instruction has been remarkably effective, even over the phone, which I must admit, I didn't initially expect. Scheduling the lessons h as been straightforward, and the sessions themselves have gone smoothly. Jack has been a fantastic teacher, and I am genuinely pleased with the progress I've made so far. Read More

Jonathan is a great music teacher! I had no knowledge of stringed instruments and chose the bass guitar. Jonathan is very patient and adapts to his student's needs. If you're looking for a g ood music teacher, give Jonathan a try! Read More

I've been taking lessons with Jonathan Townes for about a year now, and it's been the best experience I’ve had with any music teacher. He's incredibly supportive and always makes time t o help. What really stands out is that he doesn’t just teach music, he genuinely cares about his students and takes the time to understand who they are. With Jonathan, I’ve made more progress than I ever have before, and I’ve enjoyed every step of the journey. Highly recommend him to anyone serious about improving and growing as a musician. Read More

Jonathan is committed to helping any level of musician. I would highly recommend challenging yourself with lessons from Jonathan.

I’ve been taking bass guitar lessons with Jonathan since 2019, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. His teaching style is clear, supportive, and completely tailored to his students’ needs. He even created a couple of custom lesson books to help me deepen my understanding—something you rarely find in a teacher. Jonathan’s knowledge of music theory and history is top-notch, and his encouragement has made all the difference in my musical journey. The day he talked me out of backing out of lessons was the start of one of the most rewarding hobbies of my adult life. Thanks to his guidance, I went from a living room recital to playing in a local DC band. If you’re on the fence about lessons, don’t hesitate—Jonathan is the real deal. – Marck-Arthur Read More

Jill RULES THE WORLD!! I had to take a hiatus from lessons for financial reasons but let me tell you, friend: Jill is worth MY weight in both gold AND diamonds! God Used her to bless my life and my si nging so much. I can’t wait to start lessons again! Btw apologies if I’ve posted already posted a review, but guess what, Jill Rocks so much that she deserves two!! (And I didn’t even mean to rhyme, but it happened so there we are!) xD and speaking of there we are, I shall be venturing up north this very week, which is why I began wondering whether I had posted my review, which is why I’m giving the gentle reader a migraine (God Forbid) with my Pro-Jill Rant (tm). Anyway, much love (and a billion thanks) to this excellent lady and thanks, musika, for changing my life when y’all recommended her to help me with voice last year! Glory To God forever and ever, Amin ????? love, sally the terrifying Egyptian “from” Florida hehe Read More

Knowledgeable. Patient. Clear. I study music theory, composition, orchestration, and bass with Jonathan and can’t recommend him enough. I’ve improved in all areas so much since studying with him and I credit his teaching skills to my results. Read More

Jonathan is a fantastic teacher! After having numerous guitars for most of my 60 years of life and never learning to play, I decided to get serious and learn to really play. I found Jonathan and got started at age 59! He has a way of teaching and explaining musical basics that makes them less daunting. I also appreciate his patience and encouragement. I recommend him highly! Read More

At 54 years old i decided I wanted to play the drums!? Well 4 years later I am still going to see Dave every week. Dave is a great teacher, he keeps me motivated and enthused. I like the challenge and hope to someday be as good as Dave someday. Highly Recomended! Read More

Joanna was great with my 8 yo son who was a reluctant participant. She is a gifted musician and experienced teacher. I found staying present for the zoom lesson helped my son engage.

John was a very good teacher, very patient and skillful in teaching me the basic methods of guitar. I liked learning how to read music not just play the cords. I would recommend him as a teacher, he&# 039;s very passionate about music. Read More

I would highly recommend Joanna for anyone looking to learn piano! For most of 2023 I learned with her, as an adult student, from the very basics upward. I've had to take a long hiatus but now th at I plan to continue lessons, Joanna is my go to. She's always understanding of her students struggles. Always keeps a keen eye out for any beginner mistakes, and gently corrects them without judgment. Read More

My daughter has been taking virtual lessons with Joanna since covid and we couldn't be happier! Being able to read music is such a gift, because now my daughter can teach herself to play the song s she loves. I can hear her steadily improving and Joanna really helps to nurture her confidence and love of music. She's always positive and encouraging; it speaks volumes that my daughter looks forward to lessons each week! Read More

Joanna is awesome! As an adult student, it was difficult to rewire my hands and brain but she was so patient with me! She was also super understanding of my life circumstances and was flexible when ne eded. I recommend her to everyone! Read More

Joanna is very professional & knowledgeable and gives great one on one instruction on my particular needs. She is very positive & encouraging and I leave my lessons inspired.

Miss Laura is very kind, patient and understanding with my grandson. He is enjoying the lessons and it's encouraging him to play more. Audrey C

I was referred to Jill W while looking for a voice teacher to help with an audition process for a Musical Theater program. I tried a different teacher and didn’t feel comfortable. Jill put me at ease immediately and with her encouragement had me breathing, relaxing and singing the best I have ever sung. She continues to strengthen my technique , belt and helps choose my repertoire. I feel so much more confidence when I sing. Read More

We’ve had an amazing experience with Michelle as our daughters’ piano teacher. She has truly ignited a passion for piano in both of them. In less than a year, one of my daughters is already performing in recitals—something we never expected so soon. Michelle is incredibly patient, engaging, and always finds creative ways to adapt to each of my daughters’ unique learning styles. Her dedication and enthusiasm have made piano a joyful and exciting part of their lives. We’re so grateful to have found her! Read More

Michelle teaches my 9 year old and my 13 year old. Both are very shy but they opened up Michelle so quickly because of her genuine kindness and style. She has been an amazing teacher. The kids have picked up playing the piano much faster than I had imagined they would. Michelle always makes sure they are being pushed at the right level while ensuring they are comfortable and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Michelle. Read More

Dr. Rodrigo P. is a great and patient teacher and a kind, understanding person. He will teach you what you need to know to be what you want to be, and can go any pace you want. He also shows love and care for his students, which I admire. He shares his musical passion, which fuels my own musical passion. Recommend to anyone who is in orchestra and wants to get better! Read More

Lynn is kind, patient and encouraging! I started learning guitar after my retirement and I am slow in my progress but every week, Lynn manages to find some small thing that I have done that shows prog ress. I am free to choose any song or type of music I wish and she will help me to make it happen including chord variations that are easier for me to manage. If I had any other teacher I would have quit by now but Lynn makes it fun. Read More

Studying with my Voice teacher, Jill W, has given me confidence, patience to practice and courage to perform. She has also helped me with my songwriting by teaching me theory. My singing has grown an d improved so much and I highly recommend Jill to those that want to further their musicianship and learn how to take care of their voice. I would give her ten stars.

I used to work with Ms.D when I was a student in high school. She always encouraged me to sing out and really gave me a lot of confidence to pursue music. I worked with her both privately and took her chorus classes and still practice a lot of the same techniques she taught me in my voice lessons today. She has a great way of explaining techniques and making you understand. She taught me a lot in high school that a lot of my college professors didn’t even really know about! Read More

Lessons are going great and I’m learning a lot :)

For years I have been wanting to take piano lessons. My daughter has been studying voice with Jill W for over a year. Each week I watch her excitement during her lesson. She has improved so much and even made it through two rounds of American Idol auditions. We are over the moon!
