Monica is an amazing tutor! We had a lesson in music history, and I came away with a much deeper and thorough understanding of the different eras of classical music, even within the span of just one hour. Her patience and breadth of knowledge is remarkable, and she is an excellent pianist. I can't wait for our next lesson!
