Noa is fantastic - she is easily able to adapt a lesson based on needs, even right in the moment. I started Ukelele with my son, and with a 30 min piano lesson for me. She was able to figure out a way for him to join me at the piano, for some fun and impromptu music composition time (and we are both beginners). Very inspiring, highly recommend.
Noa has been teaching my daughter ukulele & she loves it. Tal (organizer) & Noa (teacher) are super easily to work with, very flexible & convenient. Noa chose a musician my daughter said she liked & it’s been fun to hear her progress. Highly recommend!
Love Kalman music. I am learning guitar for the first time and Erika rocks and Tal was great at organizing. I've been picking it up quick. Not only are the instructors talented and great at teaching but they are also super flexible.
