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 patient, 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!
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 has 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.
