“Arjola became my son’s teacher during those difficult teenage years when he had so many distractions and his interest in piano and his practice time declined greatly. Arjola was able to teach my son so much and kept him playing the piano, even when I feared he would quit after all those years of playing the piano.”

“Outstanding music lessons! I started taking semi-private lessons as an adult and took lessons from Arjola for four years until she moved to Florida. Arjola was a joy to take lessons from. She is extremely knowledgeable and believes in the Matthay teaching method. I started with no knowledge of the piano or of any musical instrument and quickly learned to play.”
