“I’ve finally put into words how I feel about Silvina the cello teacher. I’m hugely impressed and grateful. You’ve worked wonders with me and I’m thrilled by the improvement I’ve made in only three lessons thanks to your guidance. With your observations and easy to understand explanations and corrections you’ve helped this struggling beginner find a comfortable correct bow hold with the right hand and begin establishing body memory on the strings with the left hand. And I really appreciate that you always find something positive and encouraging to say about these early attempts. Thank you!”

“My daughter studied cello with Silvina for five years and loved it.  She  always looked forward to her classes with Silvina.  Silvina was so inspiring,  that my daughter is planning to study cello at University. Silvina had the most amazing concerts twice per year for her students. I always looked forward to them. I would definitely recommend her for cello students.”

Silvina is a warm, caring and nurturing cello teacher. Her patience coupled with her excellent technical skills and musicality have not only taught my daughter the foundations required to play the cello but more importantly she has given Adelaide confidence and a love of music. In these trying times where our emotional and mental health are being challenged, having Silvina as Adi’s cello teacher has given her a stability of experience that has meant to the world to her as a student and to us as a family.” – Heather
