Monica is a very pleasant, inspiring teacher and person. Her professional approach ensures my lessons are always of the highest standard and tailored specifically to my needs.

“Monica is great with kids. She knows how to keep the lessons educational yet fun. We have seen some major improvements in our son’s cello progress this year. He is enjoying cello more and more as his confidents and playing ability improves. Monica is a great teacher. We would highly recommend her.”

“Monica makes learning the cello fun! My experience of my son’s lessons with Monica is that she is a highly trained, exacting but sensitive teacher, who interacts tenderly but firmly with her student, resulting in happy, hard working, beautiful musicians.”

“Monica is a very attentive, patient and efficient teacher. I was nervous about starting to play a new instrument but within a couple of classes Monica helped me maintain a can do attitude with plenty of practice to help develop my skills. I highly recommend Monica for any cello student.”

“When I visited Monica’s music class, I was immediately drawn in to infectious enthusiasm, wonderful smile and well thought out progressive approach for little people. I have seen literally thousands of teachers in action. It was immediately clear to me that Monica is no ordinary teacher – she blends her depth of knowledge with her genuine enthusiasm to spark a love of music in people, and little children in particular. I highly recommend Monica as a brilliant teacher and a delightful person wrapped into one dynamic lady!”

“As an adult cello student, my experience with Monica has always been a positive, supportive and encouraging one. Her boundless enthusiasm and love for cello makes her an ideal mentor with this tricky instrument. She is also meticulously organised and has a lovely, friendly manner. I would recommend her to students of any age.”
