Barbara has been teaching my children for about 10 years. She is an excellent teacher who is kind and supportive towards her students. Under her guidance, my children have gained grades in piano, flute and singing. They enjoy her lessons and I cannot imagine them being taught by anyone else. I recommend her unreservedly.
