Student Testimonials
Non-Major flute recital at the University of Iowa
Masterclass at WIU in Feb. 2020
“I was a student of Daniela’s for 2.5 years. She was an absolute delight as an instructor. Daniela takes time to learn the kind of player her student is and spends the lessons teaching to their strengths and giving suggestions and strategies for their weaknesses. Daniela genuinely cares about what the students would like to play and recommends supplemental music to better strengthen their abilities. Daniela is a patient instructor with a positive and welcoming attitude. I have improved tremendously in my playing throughout the time I have spent with Daniela. She is a phenomenal teacher.”

“Before I came to America, I was struggling a lot with my musical skill because I could no longer accomplish my personal goals. However, after I took the class, I became more confident and I am no longer scared of playing flute. I now enjoy playing flute more than before.”
