Testimonials from previous students:
Nikki M (high school student): "I have really enjoyed my time with Manishka. Her constantly encouraging manner made all the difference and helped to give me more confidence with my playing. She always went the extra mile to try help me reach where I wanted to be with my playing and enabled me to do my grade 3 Trinity Exam which I will be forever grateful for.This is not something I had thought I would be able to do. Even now that she has moved away she is still trying to help me improve through sending me sheet music. Her sincerity and patience makes her a really wonderful teacher. I am grateful to have had her as my teacher."

Mum of 5-yr old student Arya: "Introducing my 5-year old to music has been amazing. It has awakened her interest in music & she is still very keen during her piano lessons. Manishka has a natural ability to teach & hold young kids & adults attention alike. She is patient & has a natural music talent. She is able to assess each students needs & abilities independently, & then puts together a custom made lesson plan. She is an amazing teacher with a love & passion for music."

Aneska (adult student): "Manishka has been very helpful to me, a student who started a little later in life, and as someone who has never played the piano or read music before.

Lessons are interesting, well paced, and very accommodating to my personal taste in music. My progress over my first year has been better than I could have ever imagined which only motivates me further.

I would definitely recommend her to anyone who has always wanted to start classes but never got around to it."
