Karina is an amazing teacher who is kind and approachable. Since the unfortunate pandemic, Karina has been nothing but understanding. She has accommodated for her students who would rather have lessons through Skype and understands that her students have pressure from school. Not only that, but she will perfect the students piece in a way that will encourage the student to work harder and be more musical with their work! Karina helped me learn, memorize and perfect five pieces in less than half a year for my college auditions. She is a great person and teacher who I could not recommend more!

I liked that she was very detailed when explaining the techniques when it comes to the vocal aspect of music. I liked that she interacts with you and works on the parts with you and doesn’t just make you do it yourself. She very nice and understanding and will help you one the smallest things she’s very professional and would definitely take lessons from her again❤️
