Sentiment Analysis
She encourages students to love the music and to enjoy the music.
My piano playing knowledge and skills have improved dramatically since I began taking lessons at the academy.
Elza really made the lessons interesting that they always excited to go every week and willing to practice more at home.
What they learn in a year and a half at her academy would probably take years at other piano schools.
She is always so encouraging, as well as giving great ideas and techniques of ways to improve.
Ritter is an exceptionally talented music teacher guiding and coaching her students with great passion and big patience, more than that, her musically well trained and accumulated piano skills and technique are very impressive.
Individualized assignments, well-planned recitals--a true wealth of musical knowledge.
Ritter provided many performing opportunities during the year and really focused on playing musically as well as focusing on fundamentals such as note reading and proper hand and wrist technique.
Ritter is never just book-based teaching, she lets the students enjoy the process by letting them play their favorite tunes during the class.
My daughter has been thriving and learning a lot while training with Elza.
