I’ve been having lessons with Claire for around four years, and she has been a great teacher throughout. She teaches really fun and creative lessons, and is super helpful for both grades, and also improving my personal playing. She’s very accommodating and flexible with lesson times, and she is very friendly and easy to talk to as a teacher. Would definitely recommend her for anyone of any level!
