Ms. Galina has been an excellent viola teacher for our son for the past two years! I really appreciate her approach - she provides structure and encouragement, while also holding him accountable for his work. She worked with him to correct some bad habits he picked up from virtual school instruction over COVID and he discovered a new confidence in his playing! He has progressed incredibly and is excited to learn new and challenging music. On top of all that, Ms. Galina is a warm and friendly face, and we always look forward to seeing her!
Galina has been an exceptional piano teacher during my time with her (going on 2 years). She offers a very supportive environment and a well-balanced combination of instructional techniques. Her instruction has led me from having no musical experience to being very comfortable learning a variety of new pieces. Moreover, she is very warm, kind and understanding. I can confidently say that anyone considering starting lessons will be beyond happy with Galina as a teacher :)
Ms. Galina has been my daughter's Violin teacher for 2 years now. My daughter started at 4 years and now is 6 years old. Ms. Galina is absolutely wonderful with my daughter and my daughter loves her. She does a wonderful job teaching my daughter the violin and it's amazing to see her progress since starting lessons with Ms. Galina.
