I have been taking lessons virtually for the past six months and it has been an incredible experience! I played piano most of my childhood and decided to pick it up again in my late twenties. It’s such an amazing feeling to be able to play piano again. I’m learning new techniques every week and the feedback I get from lessons is incredibly helpful. I’m so glad that I decided to start lessons with Stella and very excited for what the future holds!

My 11 year old daughter has been getting virtual lessons from Stella for the past few months. I was worried about starting virtual lessons instead of in-person but things are going very well. She is still able to get quality lessons for a fair price. I am appreciative of Stella's flexibility and communication. The lessons are well structured and fun. My daughter looks forward to our weekly lessons with Stella.

Stella has the ability to identify problems upon seeing/listening only once, and her fun analogies animate the lessons. Each lesson covers a wide range of trainings on finger strength, dexterity, techniques, ear training and music pieces. Her emphasis on pedaling was particularly instrumental to my improvement. Overall, Stella has a comprehensive set of qualities that an excellent piano teacher needs - technicality, musicality, patience, punctuality and kindness - in a similar way that effective musical learning requires techniques, emotions, perseverance, accuracy and enjoyment. Her teaching synthesizes all these aspects with the aim of producing great music and a wonderful learning experience.

Details: 18 - 25 years old • Yes, the student can read music • 0 - 2 yrs of formal training • Classical • Yes, the student has a keyboard • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location

Stella is an amazing piano teacher! I am a retired adult who started learning the piano a couple of years ago. I’ve progressed more in 6 months with Stella than in the previous 2 years. Until my lessons with Stella, I never really understood how to achieve the dynamics and color of a music piece. But, Stella not only points these out, she demonstrates and gives you practice drills to help you achieve the nuances that make the piece special. It makes your playing even at my stage (beginner/intermediate beginner) so satisfying. Stella sensed that I like theory, so she combines theory and technique with musicality in each lesson so that I really feel like I grow with each lesson.

Details: 65 years or older • Yes, the student can read music • 0 - 2 yrs of formal training • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has a piano • 30 minutes • I travel to the piano teacher
