A fantastic teacher
Isabella is a fantastic teacher. I have been taking weekly lessons with her for the past 8 months and as an absolute beginner she made me feel very comfortable and confident. My progress has been very rewarding and I owe it all to her skill as an instructor. She makes sight reading and playing an absolute joy as her pace is very carefully matched to my ability. She knows how to help me through the tough parts and since she is so experienced as a teacher she knows what to emphasize and how to help me get over the inevitable “bumps”. I will continue to work with her for as long as she continues to teach!!!

Play Classical Guitar Like a Professional!
I do not know how I would have progressed as a guitar player and musician without Isabella’s lessons. Coming in to lessons, I had a very strong guitar playing background but only a rudimentary ability on the classical guitar, and almost no ability to sight-read. I used to be stuck and feel hesitation when I looked at a piece written in sheet music (vs guitar tablature). I now feel the opposite way and confident that my ability and repertoire are going to grow even further.
Isabella has a wide knowledge of composers and styles. She has helped me find music that I enjoy playing and also helped me to improve my technique and discard bad habits I had brought to the classical guitar from playing other instruments. I would recommend Isabella to anyone who wants to expand their ability as a musician and play the classical guitar like a professional, even if they only play as a hobby.

Balancing Challenge with Support and Encouragement
I went to Isabella for classical guitar lessons after not playing regularly for almost two decades and having never learned to sight read music! Isabella has been a wonderful teacher and is able to balance challenge with support and encouragement. My playing and understanding of the mechanics of music has improved drastically with her support. I highly recommend her as a teacher at any level.
