"Emer started violin lessons with Ms. Isabella earlier this year. We have been very lucky to have found a teacher as caring and patience as Ms. Isabella. Ms. Isabella is truly a gifted violin teacher. She made learning the violin fun and rewarding, lessons with her are truly such a pleasure. My daughter has learned so much already in the few months she's been receiving lessons. Ms. Isabella always stay positive and patience and is encouraging to both students and parents. She also nurtured the parent-child relationship. She gave a lot of advice to us, as parent how to be part of the child's progress like giving ideas on how to practice together and ways to encourage our daughter to keep her passion on her violin playing. The recitals have been a tremendous confidence builder and motivation tool. We have seen our daughter transform from an extremely shy 5 year old girl into a very confident girl and enjoy sharing her love of music with others. She play wonderfully at her very first recital. It was a tremendous moment, we are very proud of her. We can't thank you Ms. Isabella enough for such incredible and inspiring experience for us."

"Ms. Isabella is more than an amazing cello and piano teacher to me, she is a friend, role model and inspiration. Her enthusiasm and love of the music is contagious. Ms Isabella has been inspirational for me on my musical journey. She helped me to rebuild my confidence and positivity which means more than I can say. In 8 years with Ms Isabella, I attended major master classes, music festival such as chance to performs at Carnegie Hall, ABRSM High Scorers' Concert, attended the OMWPA in Yehudi Menuhin School, UK. Ms Isabella is knowledgeable and proactive with competitions, recitals, performances, music festivals, and various other opportunities that she involves her students with. As a teacher she gives her students opportunities to learn, to work together, to share what they have learned, to share their music with the world around them, to grow. Without her unwavering dedication to me as a student, I wouldn't be who am I today. Thank you very much for everything, my beloved teacher!"

"There's a saying, "Teaching is a passion, not just a profession." I couldn't agree more as I witness the passion of Ms Isabella has shown towards teaching, music, and her students. Her love and passion for music is contagious. Hence no doubt my son Evan, enjoys his cello lesson with her, always going to the lesson eagerly and ends his lesson with positive energy. Although Evan just started his cello lesson a year ago, he had made a steady progress thanks to Ms Isabella's guidance that kept Evan interested and believe in himself that he can do it! We highly anticipate the coming years with her!"

'"Ms. Isabella is a very committed and enthusiastic cello teacher. I started my cello lesson about 2 years ago with no previous musical experience. It's been a great experience learning the cello from Ms. Isabella. Her teaching is engaging, comprehensive, and generous. Ms. Isabella is an extremely talented musician and great educator with very effective teaching methods. She has a tremendous capacity to increase the level of her students playing in a short amount of time. She encouraged me to succeed in the ABRSM Cello exam with a high distinction (140/150). Ms. Isabella have unlocked talent and potential in me that I never thought possible, and encouraged me to take risks and challenge myself. I feel very lucky to have Ms. Isabella as my Cello teacher and I cannot thank you enough."
