Raluca is the best piano teacher my kids ever had! Thanks to her my children developed a passion for playing the piano and look forward to every lesson with her. She is passionate, kind and patient, teaching them not only how to play but also age-appropriate music theory. Thank you Raluca!

I am an adult student who, after a 30-year gap, decided to pursue my love for piano again. I was fortunate enough to meet Raluca, who is not only a gifted player but also an amazing teacher! We work on technique, but also theory, musicality, and establishing practicing habits. Thanks to Raluca’s positive and encouraging teaching style, lessons are always enjoyable and help me make constant progress.   

We have thoroughly enjoyed your piano teaching.  To us, love of music is  primary and we think your style gives the children the opportunity to  play for the enjoyment and not with the end goal of becoming a concert pianist 😊.   Thank you so much for teaching Isabella (and Natalie before her).  Holy  Spirit was truly fortunate to have you for so many years. 

My daughter, Lauren, loved working with Raluca! She was extremely  patient and always positive. Her enthusiasm for music and her knowledge  in piano helped my daughter achieve several levels of piano in a short  amount of time and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you Raluca! 

My family has been lucky enough to know Raluca for almost two years. She was my son's piano instructor. Raluca was able to build a quick rapport with Jamie and engage him fully in the study of music. She is very creative with her techniques and approaches. She has been able to tailor his lessons to fit both his learning style and interests. What has been most remarkable to me is how motivated he is to practice and really work on his pieces of music and on his theory.

Raluca is also an extraordinary performer. We have attended one of her concerts which earned her deep respect and admiration among her students.

Besides Raluca's grace and warmth, she is extremely flexible, honest, and dependable. I know Raluca would succeed in any position that involves kids and music.

Thank you for teaching us piano for all these years at Holy Spirit. It has been very enjoyable for us to see ourselves grow every year, and most of that growth is because of you. We just want you to know how much we appreciated learning from you, and the lessons you taught us will stick with us for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your patience and kindness while teaching my boys piano lessons. These moments will influence the rest of their lives.

Thank you so much for inspiring the gift of music in Madelyn and Eliana. They love to play piano because you have made their learning attainable and fun.

Thank you for your teaching this year! Your enthusiastic comments are so encouraging. Now I will have William teach me how to play.

We can't thank you enough for all you taught Andrew the last several years. He has enjoyed piano very much.

Thank you for six great years of piano lessons. The reason I progressed so much is because you helped me through it all.

Our son has loved taking piano lessons from Raluca. It has been terrific  seeing the progress he has made over the last two years. Raluca is  kind, engaging, and works well with kids. Highly recommend! 

Our son worked with Raluca over the past several years. He discovered the joy and confidence in learning an instrument at a young age.   Raluca's patience and expertise comes together in developing musical skills at the right level for each student.

Ms. Raluca does a great job of encouraging young piano students. She is able to explain difficult musical concepts in a way that makes sense to kids. And she is incredible kind. Our daughter has looked forward to learning more from her every year!
