WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THIS CLASS
Renata was brilliant, and it was just as if we were in the classroom. (REGARDING ONLINE LEARNING)
I came to the course with a reasonable amount of music theory, hoping that it would fill in gaps in my knowledge. The course did this really well and I gained a lot from it. The course method is very effective for building up big picture knowledge and deep understanding.
Renata was fabulous. She brought great enthusiasm and expertise to every session. She was a wonderful teacher
Renata was a motivating teacher and made sure we grasped each concept before progressing to new material. She created a fun and engaging learning environment and I would highly recommend her classes to others.
