Testimonials

"Melanie Le Breuilly is teaching not only my twelve year old son, but also myself. I highly recommend her as a violin teacher. Indeed I opted to take lessons from her because I was so impressed with the way she was teaching my son. Her manner is warm, friendly and bright, and her lessons are a highlight of the week for both of us. She is a careful and intelligent teacher, able to spot specific areas to improve technique and then working with the student to achieve this. She is patient, understands her students well, and has a great sense of fun. Her learning style is very inclusive - she works with her students to find playing solutions that suit the particular individual, but at the same time has the experience and knowledge that enables her to offer excellent advice. We are both enjoying making progress with her, and really appreciate her skilled tuition. Thanks, Mel!" - Emma Merchant

Her patient and tailored approach towards teaching has benefited my daughter a lot. I have seen a good progress in my daughter's piano playing skills.
