To find a teacher that has the passion and honesty of caring about your success, it's incredible. Corinne is educated, knows how to direct and tune your talent, and is a working professional using her talents. Why wouldn't you want to work with someone who clearly knows what their doing? "Callback! Nailed it!!" These are usually my text to Corrine after working with her. - Thank you Corinne for all your help! The courage I gain after working with you is indescribable. Must be all that positive energy that flares off you!

Mrs. Molly is an amazing music teacher who is the most patient and kind person we've ever met - our…read morefamily has grown to love her! My 8-year-old son has been taking guitar lessons for 3 years now and the benefits of the Suzuki method goes far beyond music. First, she makes learning guitar so fun that my teenage son decided to join in on the lessons. Second, parents are present at the lessons so if you're like me and have always wanted to learn guitar, it's a lesson for you too! Third, students are gently guided to perform recital pieces on stage in front of fellow students so their confidence level soars by leaps and bounds. In fact, my 2nd grader decided to perform in his school's talent show with such ease because of all the training he's had with Mrs. Molly. We were astonished and grateful! In addition, my boys have learned to read music which has secretly taught them to better understand math, particularly fractions (which has been super helpful in preparing my son for 3rd grade!) They learn a beautiful respect between teacher and student, parent and student, student and student, & student and instrument. They offer additional (optional) workshops, with charitable performances at various locations including retirement homes, and an incredible summer camp that creates a wonderful camaraderie amongst Suzuki families. On top of all the great memories made, their skill level increases significantly with all of these cherished experiences. While these lessons may cost more than others, you will find it to be an invaluable investment that is well worth it. Molly's musical knowledge is vast, her studio is peaceful and welcoming, parking is a breeze, but most importantly, the good character that builds within your child is about the best thing a parent can ask for. Call Mrs. Molly to observe a classical guitar/violin lesson today!

Others refused saying they start at 5 years old instead of just interviewing her like Ms. Mariko did.

These are skills she's learned from her classes with Ms. Mariko. I am so happy I found her and that she had room for us.

No words can explain how happy I am to have found Emma :) I…read morework as a full time professor and I'm a first time mom of a 5 months old baby. I have wanted to learn how to play the guitar for a very long time, but never took the time and was always too scared to start. First of all, Emma made scheduling lessons with her a breeze : she replied to my initial message very fast and our first lesson was scheduled within a week or so. Since then, she has always been very flexible to find the best time for our lessons. It's been very helpful with my busy schedule. Additionally, being a mom, I'm often tired and stressed out and Emma provides a relaxing and supportive atmosphere to learn. She always takes the time to see how I'm doing and adapts the expectations of the day in function of how I respond or feel. She is a very good people-reader and is very empathetic. As a professor, I know that it's not easy to be a good pedagogue who adapts to the learning style of his/her students. Emma figured out really fast what time of learner I was and adapted her teaching methods to my pace and the type of instruction I responded best to. She makes it easy to understand where to place your fingers, how to strum, and the best way to remember chords and transitions, etc. She is extremely patient but, at the same time, challenges you to always be better ! Overall, I've learned much much more that I could have ever expected in just one month. I missed a few lessons but I always feel like I'm progressing every time I see her. My goal is to sing and play with my dad in December and further down the road, to sing and play for my little girl - I totally believe that Emma will get me there ! If you are looking for a wonderful music instructor, look no further! You won't regret it :)

Her extensive teaching experience really shows in the way she explains concepts clearly and at a level that our son can easily understand. We especially appreciate her strong understanding of the fundamentals of the Suzuki Method and how she applies them thoughtfully in her lessons. She creates a positive and encouraging environment that makes learning the cello enjoyable for a young child. Her studio is always clean, organized, and welcoming. Rachel is also very easy to work with, accommodating, and professional. We highly recommend Rachael to any family looking for an experienced, patient, and knowledgeable cello teacher, especially for young beginners!

Rachael has been my cello teacher for a little over a year now and I would wholeheartedly recommend…read moreher to anyone interested in picking up the instrument. As an adult learning how to play cello for the first time I definitely had my reservations about who I would learn from. Should I just go to a general music school for varied instruments and hope for the best? Or seek out someone who is an expert in the instrument I actually wanted to learn? And which expert to choose? There were tons of options available for private lessons but I decided to stick with someone local to SFV, who taught both children and adults and had many years of teaching experience. I figured someone who could handle both populations would be patient and accommodating enough for me. As luck would have it, Rachael was the right choice for me. I'm a high school teacher, and every time I go in for a lesson with Rachael I recognize all the elements of good teaching happening between us. She provides immediate, useful feedback, provides accountability, and challenges me with pieces just within my range of development. My goal is to be able to play at the intermediate level and to possibly play in an adult volunteer orchestra and I've been happy with the progress I've made with Rachael as my teacher. If you're on the fence about whether it's worth taking private lessons, my advice is to consider what you ultimately want out of your playing cello. If you're stuck, do you want an expert's feedback? If you're bored, do you want a challenge? If you're lazy, do you want a little pressure? If you're curious, do you want a knowledgeable guide? And what's an education worth, really? I'm proud to consider myself a lifelong learner and Rachael, as my guide, has been a critical part of my continued enjoyment of the cello. Don't wait! Schedule something with her today. You won't regret it.
