Silvia is an excellent teacher for my 7-year-old son. She is warm, friendly and patient. Her lessons are thorough and give a very good grounding in the Italian language. I recommend her warmly.

Silvia has now been the piano teacher for our daughter for over a year. Her approach to teaching is very playful and varied. Our daughter really enjoys her classes with Silvia and she has made some lovely progress (considering she started from nothing) and can now play some lovely piece. Silvia is sweet, dedicated and very helpful. I can only give positive feedback on her teaching, which she really adapts according to the child`s abilities and desires.

I think it`s a bit too early to ask for feedback but at least I can say that after two lessons my son is delighted to start playing the piano. Silvia has shown lots of enthusiasm, her voice is soft, calm and authoritative. Perfect for a teacher!
