What our students have said about us:

  • Gem Suslovich

    “Valentina is an amazing inspiring gifted musician and she’s able to transmit and transform everyone that she meets into a wonderful talented musician as well! I have been taking lessons with her for many years and she has helped and inspired me to tap into my inner voice and bring it into the open she has helped me also to get over my stage fright!”

  • Annie Dweck

    “Valentina has been teaching me for about a year and is so knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. Her love for what music and education passes to all of her students. It was hard for me to sing in front of people growing up but as I sang more and more with her, she helped me gain the confidence and showed me I am capable of doing things that I thought I could never do.”

  • Maeira Woertenshlag

    “Valentina has been teaching my daughter voice for three years. She is patient and fun and has really helped my daughter gain confidence in expression. She’s wonderful!”

  • Orsola Fezzi

    “I can sincerely say that Valentina is an amazing vocal and piano teacher. She is very professional and at the same time very passionate and transmits her great love of music to all her students. It is only thanks to her I am growing musically with playing the piano and singing. I very highly recommend her to whoever wants to become a great singer or piano player! I love her!”

  • Lindsay Colon

    “We began with Valentina about 7 months ago. My daughter has always loved to sing, but with Valentina’s guidance she’s learning so much and loving developing into a stronger singer. She’s very patient and knows how to clearly explain how to do things. We feel so lucky to have found her!”

  • Elizabeth Honig

    “Valentina teaches my 7 year old daughter Leah piano and singing. She has also taught her to be poised, confident and calm on the stage. i love how she has concerts where all of her students perform, which makes them want to be the best that they can be. my daughter learned how to sign Adele’s “Easy in me,” and her own piano song. Leah and I can’t wait until she has her lesson every week, because she learns something new each time!”
