Testimonials
Piano lessons can become an indispensable part of a child's upbringing and something that, unlike soccer or ballet, for instance, they can return to later in life. Hana has seen many of her students progress from kindergarten to university, and the effect music has on their lives makes a lasting impression.
"Thanks for your help and advice for the past 12 years. It's hard to believe it's been that long. I've really enjoyed learning and improving based on your wisdom. Piano has also helped me keep balanced in my hectic life. I will never forget what you have taught me, music will always be with me." - Sam B.
"I cannot express how much your years of teaching has affected both my perception of piano artistry and human emotion. Thank you for your eternal patience and musical passion." - Stephanie K.
"I am commending you for the good teaching you have given a student who composed beautiful music to accompany Franta Bass' poem "I am a Jew", found in the book "I never saw another butterfly". The poem was read and his music was performed last night at the Sound of Silent Voices Concert at Beth Lida Synagogue in Toronto. What a heart warming, heart strengthening concert! I would like to post a picture of Franta Bass, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for teaching T. M. so effectively." - Elizabeth S.
