“Julijana is one of the nicest teachers that we’ve ever met. She is so patient and has a great gift in singing and playing instruments. Also, she has great technique to transfer her musical knowledge to students! We wish her all the best in her future goals and plans!”

This course was really informative and really got me thinking. I really learned a lot! This was great.

I feel that I have a pretty good understanding now of chord construction and am starting to feel more comfortable understanding the relationship between the different types of chords.

“Thank you Julijana for an evening so well put together. All your students are such a wonderful reflection of you and your kind, thoughtful and encouraging manner. We are so pleased and so lucky to have you as an instructor.”

“My experiences with Fortepiano Music Studio have been nothing but wonderful! Under direction of Andrew, my daughter's tambura skills improved immensely over a relatively short time! He was always professional, kind, motivating, and accommodating. Because of that time spent with Andrew, my daughter can now read music independently and actually enjoys her group tambura lessons with her folklore group. Bravo! Last year, we also enlisted Dani for professional voice coaching lessons to help my daughter prepare for her school musical audition last year. Dani assisted with character and song selection and did only a couple of voice lessons, but the results were outstanding! She was confident in her audition and landed a leading role :)”

“You are so kind! Singing is not his best talent but we both just like to be around you so much. You are so sweet and this is why we never gave up.”

“I’m 14 years old and I have been a student of Julijana’s for over 8 years. I am very fortunate to have her as my piano teacher. Julijana is a very patient teacher. She lets you pick songs you would like to learn and teaches them to you. She makes sure you understand what you’re doing before you play. She answers all your questions and is very creative at times.”

Thanks Andrew...the kids are enjoying your lessons and we can really hear the progress.   We are getting them to practice daily, but they obviously like your lessons and are motivated because it isn’t taking too much convincing to practice.

I would like to thank you for all your patience, love and kindness. You are an amazing person and we love you! We can’t wait for lessons to start again next term.
