Pena violin sessions in Washington Heights got me ready for my debut recital. her focus on the little things and her uplifting attitude made every lesson both motivating and productive. I highly recommend her.

Pena ’s violin lessons in Downtown St. Pete showed me that improvement comes little by little. her steady support and smart teaching helped me move past the plateau I was stuck on.

Pena helped me to get prepared for a big day, which was my friend's wedding, and I wished to give her a surprise solo performance. Noral gave me a personalised lesson of violin at Orchard Hills. She made it a very special day for me

Talent for breaking down complex bowing styles such as spiccato and sautille of Pena was amazing. Thanks to her guidance, I can now play fast sections with ease and control using these techniques.

After a 20-year pause, picking up the violin again felt daunting—until I started lessons with Pena in Gilbert, AZ. Her encouragement, along with targeted sight-reading work and confidence-boosting techniques, helped me regain my footing. I never imagined I’d be performing again, but now I’m part of a local string ensemble.
