"Mira is the best! She is a gifted musician and a brilliant teacher. She possesses the rare ability to share her joy in music, to inspire her students with the delight of learning all the while constantly challenging them to improve. Her natural warmth, her ability to clearly explain and demonstrate musical technique, and her vast musical knowledge ensures that each lesson is a positive and successful experience. Because of her, my son has discovered a life-long love of the cello. He looks forward to every lesson."

"Mira is the utmost professional. She takes the musical education of children with the utmost seriousness. From the first moment of class until the last the children are in musical action - not a second is spared. We are so grateful Mira found her way into our lives. Our children love her so much. She is a modern day Mary Poppins - but with more Magic.”

Student Experiences
"Our son began cello lessons with Mira when he was 8 years old, at the beginning of 2020. We searched for the right fit and knew we found it when we met Mira. Mira is patient, gentle, clear, and calm, and has made learning the cello a real delight. Mira is a beautiful cellist and hearing her play is inspiring. One of our favorite parts of lessons is hearing Mira and our son play together. We would highly recommend Mira to anyone with an interest in learning the cello.”

Student Experiences
"Mira has been my daughter's teacher for almost four years. Mira's class is professional and she knows how to drive kids to reach the course's objectives in a fun, respectful, and safe environment. Dalcroze is a beautiful method for kids to experience music naturally. In addition to this, it is not easy to find a teacher that can enrich the learning of another language, French in this case, while teaching music and dance.”
