 I think Ilona is a great teacher as well as a great role model - Jenelle, age 14

 Ilona is very patient and understanding. With her as my teacher I know that I am here to learn and have fun just playing music. What I find most beneficial is the fact that she realizes that it is difficult for adults to get the practice time in. She just wants her students to come to the lesson to have a great time playing music. In every lesson that contains a difficult piece Ilona makes sure that there is a balance between challenge and easy so I do not get discouraged. She also explains important information in great detail while making it comprehensible. So, with Ilona as my teacher I am able to learn the joy of playing an instrument while having a wonderful time - E.M, age 30
