TESTIMONIALS

​"I am happy that my son had such a professional and dedicated piano teacher. He enjoys playing piano and entertains the whole family and friends with his favorite tunes. Thank you, Ms. Ernesta!
We are sad you moved, but wishing all the best in Los Angeles"

"Ms. Ernesta is a Piano Maestro and an amazing teacher. She has the rare combination of skills in both Classical and contemporary music. She has done miracles with my daughter in the past 2 - 3 years and my daughter's skill has grown in leaps and bounds. We will miss her as she's going away, but recommend her to anyone lucky enough to be her student." 
Bijan M., father of 15 year old student


"Often, proper body mechanics and music theory are boring topics for young students who would prefer to learn to play popular music. Ernesta uses several effective techniques to help my daughter learn the basics without boredom. They play games together to learn music theory and to improve music reading. Ernesta has made the arrangements of some of my daughters favorite popular songs for her to learn to play. Ernesta has patience to help when my daughter is struggling and encourages her to try new things. As my daughter has progressed, Ernesta continues to challenge her to reach next level. She has done a fantastic job teaching my daughter."           
Wendy H., mother of 9 year old student


"I am happy having the opportunity to study  with Ms. Ernesta. She is  very professional and knowledgeable. I have had a little bit of music training as a child, but could not recall much after so many years. After taking few lessons with Ernesta, I already learned much more than I knew from previous training. Looking forward to my next lesson!"
Hanna S., 28 year old student

"Shortly after meeting Ernesta, it was obvious that she was a resource for unlimited potential and inspiration. She has mastered the delicate balance between disciplined instructor and caring educator. Even though each student is pushed to display a high level of music mastery, they understand that her encouragement comes from a place of mutual respect and admiration. Her unwavering disciplined approach has produced some of the best performances I have witnessed.  Her fierce determination has set her amongst the best teachers at our school."
