3 Opera lessons
We have a special need to understand the lyrics of "L'elisir d'amore" in Italian for our opera performance. It is very challenging because we do not have basic knowledge of Italian language, and the lyrics can be very old and poetic. Valerie has been very patient and helpful to make the lyrics very clear for us while giving us a nice guide to the Italian grammar. She is also very flexible and accommodative in arranging the lessons.
She is a business professional and does an amazing job at delivering an encouraging learning experience, for my son. 1/8/2014: Tonight was my son's final lesson with Carole before his SSAT, which will be in two days. We feel so fortunate that we had Carole and my son is feeling a lot more confident in his ability to perform well in the exam. couldn't ask for a better tutor!! She genuinely cares about her students and is truly committed and encouraging!!
There was a good deal of interaction which I was comfortable with. I think we can all remember classes where the teacher stood and lectured for the whole period - Malone is not like that. We discussed the concepts of line, shapes, movement, etc. All in all this was the most enjoyable and educational art class I have ever taken. I look forward future classes. He has put a charge in me that had been lacking for years. I would recommend Malone to anyone who wants to be a better artist.
