“We have known Julia since 2012 from the McGill conservatory. Our first son took Suzuki piano lessons with her from age 5 to 8 and we are so happy we found her again after 10 year for our 6-year-old daughter.  I can say Julia is the best teacher we’ve had.  She is patient, kind, thorough and great with kids. She teaches children to play by ear at first with the Suzuki book 1 and will gradually introduce sight-reading and music theory from Suzuki book 2 onwards. She always gives positive feedback and encouragement. Our children enjoy their lessons every time.”
