It is no secret that teaching string instruments to beginners is one of the most challenging things for a music teacher. The teacher must be patient, highly trained, innovative, must know the traditions, yet, be open-minded and much more. Teacher Rita has all these qualities alongside years of teaching experience. 
Her students point out the versatility of the lessons -  listening to music, watching videos, studying music theory, etc. Of course, they learn from it a lot. Just watch their performances in Our Gallery.
