Knows what she's doing and patient
I'm a beginner and completely new to the violin, but I know a good teacher when I meet one. She was very relaxed and knew how to work the software, and made sure I understood what I had been taught before moving on.

Flexible and understanding
I play an non-conventional violin and practice random things on my own but Mami is very flexible and knowledgeable to facilitate my learning. Her help guided me both during and outside of lessons.

Patient with children just beginning
Mami patiently helped my daughter in an initial lesson how to hold her violin and bow, how to stand, and the parts of the violin and how they work. They also tried playing a half note together.
