Testimonials

“My 6 year old son just had his very first lesson. Iliana was great, a gentle and patient teacher who knows how to make a lesson both fun and easily understandable for a child.”

Parent of violin pupil, aged 6.

“Our son started weekly Violin lessons with Iliana when he was just 5. The lessons are fun and engaging for little ones and Iliana pays a lot of attention to the details, like bow holds, posture and feet positions, through games and songs. I think it’s important to get a solid foundation when starting any musical instrument and Iliana has helped my son learn steadily through Suzuki Violin book 1. The Suzuki method was new to me, but it has been nice to be involved as a parent in the daily practice, as it not only refreshes my own musical knowledge from decades past, but also gives some satisfaction when we achieve something together.” 

Parent of violin pupil, aged 6.


“Iliana teaches my two older children the piano as a second instrument and I very much hope in time she will be taking on my youngest too. She is rare piano teacher in managing to strike exactly the right balance between progressing through exciting new material and working on technique and tone, and my children love her and their time at the piano with her. Her lessons are a sea of calm in our busy week, and we are forever grateful to have found her!”

Parent of piano pupils, aged 7 and 9.

“Iliana is a pleasure to work with. She is technically accomplished, clear and patient, whilst providing structured lessons with clear objectives.”

Adult piano pupil.


“My 9-year-old son started violin lessons with Iliana last year, and he has made remarkable progress in his skills. She combines kindness and patience with a fun approach to learning that captivates his attention and makes each lesson enjoyable.

“Iliana creates a warm and welcoming environment and tailors her teaching methods to suit my son’s learning style. We are truly grateful for her dedication and passion for music education. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a violin teacher who can foster both skill and a love for music in their child.”
