My son has been taking lessons from Helena for many years now. She takes the time to figure out how keep her students interested and develop the required classical skills at the same time. Meera S. Verified

My 11 year-old and 8 year-old girls are getting much improving and confidence playing piano and violin since having Helena from Harmony Music Studio as their teacher. My girls started learning piano and violin from couple different teachers before and it didn’t work so well for them in term of techniques and profession. I’m happy to find Helena as teacher for my girls. Nancy T. Verified

My 8yr has been learning violin from Helena for 2 years. She is very friendly, patient, considerate while being professional and holding a high standard for her student. Her consistency in teaching and passion in music go a long way with the student. I’m very thankful that we found her. Meggie C. Verified

Helena is an amazing teacher- knowledgeable and consistent. We have been with her for over four years and my son has made continuous progress. As a musician she is able to identify areas of work needed, give feedback, and suggest ways to improve. Mariya G. Verified
