Amazing class with Maria! For every question my kid had, Maria patiently explained very well. My kid can easily understand and be more and more confident in theory. Maria is also a super good ear training teacher. Maria prepared very well for ear training practice. Maria can accurately get my kid’s weakness in ear training and emphasize on teaching it. My kid LOVES Maria’s class.

I was definitely eager to sign up for another lesson. She was patient and encouraging, which are two qualities that I really believe a teacher/tutor/mentor should have. If you value experience over all then Dr S is definitely the tutor you should sign up for.

Me being a vocalist, I struggled with transpositions and fingerings of all the different brass and woodwind instruments that were on the exam. She also helped improve my conducting skills and ear training with chord progressions, as well as Music theory with modes. I would highly recommend her as a tutor to anyone that is in need of help or is struggling to pass this exam. She would even be helpful for tutoring in music theory as well as ear training.
