"Alessia is a fantastic and active violinist herself, but also an excellent, enthusiastic teacher. It's been a great joy to see my daughters improving their skills, but what's more than a joy is to see them learning how to keep music in their lives and how to enjoy it. Alessia really understands different needs and goals of her students, and is very talented to motivate and encourage them! If I can add one more thing, she would be the best teacher for adult learners who have a life-long curiosity for this musical instrument or want to awake their music cells, like me!"

"Alessia is a very kind and patient teacher. I have been playing since I was ten and I have learned so much from her. I can hear myself improving each week and love the fact that I can actually perform the music that I enjoy listening to. The environment of the group class is always non-judgemental and Alessia always points out the good things in your piece even if you don’t see any."

"My son and I are very lucky to meet Ms. Alessia, who is a professional violinist and also an excellent teacher in delivering her knowledge and skills in a very effective way to her students. She uses many of her own terms to explain difficult musical concepts. These terms help her students (even adults!) to understand more clearly how to interpret and perform pieces. I also like her way of managing her music Academy, which includes group lessons for community outreach. She teaches not only how to play violin but also how to share and support individuals and the community with the power of music!"

"Miss Alessia is a great violin teacher. When I don’t get something she explains it easily so that I can understand. During my lessons I learn so many things, and also in group class where we have projects and more, and learn about composers and pieces. Plus Miss Alessia is really kind, nice and there are only amazing things to say about her! Thank you to everyone at NYSA."

“I highly recommend this Academy to anyone, for all ages, who wishes to learn not only the violin but also the love of music. I have always enjoyed having lessons with Alessia who is passionate about teaching music. She always finds an innovative way to improve your music making, from fundamentals to musicality.”
