"Ariel showed extreme patience with my son and demonstrated the ability to adapt to my child's unique learning style. My son is on the spectrum, and at the time she began lessons, he had just begun verbally communicating. She was able to hold his attention during teaching him technique and the ability to read music while still maintaining an element of fun in his lessons and allowing him to have some creativity and playfulness."

Ari has been teaching my son, Ivar, how to play the piano and xylophone for a year. My son has a very hard time focusing, but is very smart. Ari gives him the space he needs while still keeping him on track and improving his skill level steadily.

Ariel was excellent with my temperamental and tantrum prone daughter! She caught on that my daughter is actually left-handed and picked a piece for her holiday recital that suited her well, where she could carry the melody with her left hand.

She has taught my son piano for almost a year now and has begun teaching him the ukulele. My son already had a love for all things musical, but he has really thrived within her lessons. She is patient, kind, and great with children.

Ari worked well with my teenage daughter. She learned to read music quickly, and that helped her to pick up other instruments.
