We have had only one lesson so far, for my 11 year old, but we are super happy to begin with Ms.Szydlowska she was very patient and fun, engaging well. Looking forward to more lessons with her.
Katarzyna is professional and nice and is a great teacher
Great teacher, highly recommend!
I had a first lesson with her. She was friendly, and focused on what should be improved in my posture/playing, etc. It was helpful! I am expecting to improve my violin playing by taking upcoming lessons!
The best!
