  • "The perfect violin teacher"

    Review of Violin Lessons, October 19, 2009

    Helena Emery was sthe perfect violin teacher for us. She taught not just to play the notes, but how to play them with feeling. She taught us to connect to each piece of music and to each composer. She took the challange of teaching two adults and she won! Not a day goes by that we do not remember the great teaching that we recieved. Our highest reccomendation. She moved and and that is the ONLY reason we do not study with her to this day. She will not let you down and she will turn you into a violinist! Lorelli Anderson and Steven Goldberg

  • "Highly Recommended"

    Review of Violin Lessons, May 05, 2009

    As an adult beginner, Helena Emery made my introduction to violin challenging, satisfying and tantalizing. I always looked forward to my weekly lessons, which continued for the first three years of my violin studies. Her solid foundation in technical expertise, ergonomics, intonation, and systematic approach, combined with enthusiasm amd empathy made my lessons unforgettable. For me it was akin to being in the presence of greatness. When we played duets, no matter how simple the melodies, the heavens opened and I know we heard the sounds of angels singing. I highly recommend that you consider Helena as an instructor.
