“Garshika is very knowledgeable in music, as she has years of experience and she is absolutely brilliant with teaching as well. My son is a 9-year-old boy, how was reluctant to attend a trial lesson at the beginning but after the lesson to my surprise, he enjoyed it a lot. Now he has become a regular student of hers. She assists us with what books to get and what kind of Piano to buy. So I would highly recommend for anyone to take her lessons irrespective of age and what level you’re in music.”
