Testimonials
“[Samantha] taught him in a day what would have taken him months to learn! It’s hard for him to pay attention but Samantha’s methods keep him occupied, she redirects him superbly and he is always excited for Sundays… I cannot say enough about this place.”
“She wanted to give these kids… a chance for some semblance of normalcy through their music and tap into their hidden genius potential.”
“Take my word for it – you won’t regret enrolling your kid here!”
“Ms Samantha has been providing music lessons once a week for my [autistic] son… he used to have a short attention span and inability to focus. With Ms Samantha’s guidance and music lessons … his attention span has improved considerably.“
“Samantha is constantly researching and incorporating new strategies and tools to make her sessions more interesting and fun. This helps greatly to capture [her son’s] attention.“
“Her teaching methods are innovative and effective. She is able to customise her teaching resources to the [special needs] child’s interests and more importantly, she is patient and encouraging.These are the “must-have” traits of a special needs educator.
“Despite his weaker fine motor skills, he is able to play tunes on two hands within a short span of time.”
“My daughter is an autistic child with limited speech and attention span.
After attending a few months of piano lessons, my daughter is now able to read musical notes and play simple songs, I am so proud of her :)”
