"Joana is simply super! I was able to learn the violin from scratch as well as to learn the complex music theory. The communication is relaxed and informal and you can also bring in your own suggestions for new pieces without difficulty. She finds exactly the right learning pace, is patient and reliable. I can highly recommend!"
