My piano teacher, Yardley , has been with me for a year. She explained advanced piano classical pieces to me in a way that was really simple to understand. I heartily recommend her!

I worked with Yardley for musical theatre preparation inn Arden Arcade and had a fantastic experience. She has a sharp eye for detail and offers steady encouragement throughout the process. Yardley has a real talent for guiding you to bring out the emotional depth of a character through your voice.

Learning to control my breath and carry through entire phrases has made a big difference and I now feel steady and supported when I sing with our church worship team in Yardley .

Hi ! I would like to let you know that Yardley from Downtown Boca is a good teacher who made a guy like me learn acoustic guitar, which I thought was nearly impossible for me. The classes are easy, fun, and I loved them. I would like to recommend her to anyone who would like to start the guitar journey.

I enjoyed every violin lesson with Yardley in Preston Heights, making each one both informative and fun and I can now say that it was the best decision I took in years! I am an adult learner and I the way Yardley handled my queries and answered it patiently made it easy for me to learn violin! I was able to improve my finger placements and how I read music and my classical pieces are so fun to practice even without her. Highly recommend Yardley for anyone looking for violin lessons.
