Sarah Montoya rated Matthew

Rockwood, Rockford

3 months ago

My musical journey took a significant leap forward, thanks to Matthew and his guidance. I am 50 years old and have never played violin before in my life but Matthew was so patient with me and made me feel so comfortable. He helped me correct my posture while playing and gave me exercises to learn bowing better. I have now started playing folk pieces on my violin and can confidently read music theories too. He is an outstanding tutor for adult beginners and would recommend him to anyone looking for one!

I am in my 30s and was very nervous about it all but she handled me with utmost care and started with simple exercises first and focused on building and strengthening my concept first. With her guidance, I am able to learn and play basic pieces without any fear or nervousness.

Southside, Rockford

about 1 year ago

My daughter's violin instructor was Hernandez and I was really happy with my decision of choosing her for the lessons in Southside. Hernandez is really welcoming and very attentive to all her student's needs and wants all her students to grow. Her instruction has been particularly beneficial when tackling challenging concepts while learning theory and she makes sure that the posture while playing is correct and she really pays attentions to details. All her lessons are very interactive and my daughter can now play simple pieces with a lot more emotion and accuracy. Thank you Hernandez for sharing your knowledge with my daughter. -
