The best guitar instructor I have ever had
Just wanted to share my experience working with Isabella. She is an amazing instructor who is very patient and caring. I have made so much progress in my playing because of her and can now confidently play sheet music by sight reading apart from many other skills she has thought me. She is also very knowledgeable in music theory. I look forward to our lessons together and hope to continue working with her in the future. As a side note I had been playing guitar for approximately 14 years prior to meeting her, and can confidently say she is the best guitar instructor I have ever had. Thank you so much Isabella!!
The Real Deal!
I spent a lot of time looking for a good classical guitar instructor in the city who would help me progress from my very basic understanding of the instrument. Isabella is the real deal! She gives great quality one on one instruction (even while remote during this past year) and has helped me advance to a now early intermediate level [RCM Certification]. She is really patient and great at pinpointing problematic areas in technique and provides useful exercises on how to improve my musicality and expression. If you’re looking for a great teacher who could help you improve, no need to look any further!
An Amazing Teacher
Isabella Abbonizio is the best of the best. A Passionate, caring, patient and encouraging guitar teacher. My daughter started taking lessons with her only 9 months ago and she is already reading music and playing on her own. Not only does she teach my daughter in a way that she enjoys, she is an amazing performer herself. Listening to her play classical guitar is so beautiful and transforming. And seeing Isabella play, gives my daughter the inspiration she needs to keep going. She is truly an amazing teacher.
