“Jivana Condak has been teaching my teenage daughter classical piano for over a year in our home and I can see major improvements. Jivana pays attention to detail and makes sure Jane stays focused. They are working on some difficult classical pieces together that are very challenging, but well worth it. My daughter feels comfortable pushing herself and Jivana is very patient in her approach, so they work well together. It’s so rewarding to have music in the home! <\/span>I highly recommend Jivana for any teaching position involving children and music. Her years of experience show when she teaches with confidence and passion. My daughter is happy with her teacher and recommends her as well.”\u00a0 \u00a0– Michele, mom<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“My two daughters ages 9 and 11, have been taking piano lessons with Ms. Jivana for over a year now.\u00a0 They started off as beginners completely, never even touching a piano before.\u00a0 Now after a year they are strong beginner piano players.\u00a0 My daughters are very confident in reading music because Ms. Jivana was very patient in teaching them.\u00a0 My daughters speak highly of Ms. Jivana and they absolutely love going to piano lessons. They always come home with something new they learned that they want to show me. She is definitely an amazing instructor for all ages.”\u00a0 \u00a0–\u00a0<\/em>Brittney, mom<\/em><\/div>\n

“My seven year old son has been taking piano lessons with Jivana for the last four months.\u00a0 He is a beginner and has come so far in this short time, he was even able to play in his first recital.\u00a0 He loves Jivana and looks forward to his lessons with her. She is a great teacher and makes the lessons fun.\u00a0 She is also very flexible with regards to lesson time and day, and will work with you.\u00a0 She also teaches music theory and gives homework but not too much as to be overwhelming, this is helping to give my son a strong foundation in music.\u00a0 She is passionate about her job and really cares about the children she teaches.\u00a0 She also offers lessons with different instruments, so there is something for everyone.\u00a0 My son and I highly recommend Jivana if you are looking for a fun and knowledgeable music teacher!”\u00a0 \u00a0– Liz, mom<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I have two girls who are currently taking piano lessons with Ms. Jivana. Immediately I could tell that she cares about her students and their progress. I was impressed that she takes the time to see the home piano or keyboard the students will be practicing on so she can see how it will affect their technique. It is obvious that she knows what she is doing and how to teach piano to children. I also appreciate her professionalism, communication and flexibility which is so helpful with my busy schedule.\u00a0 My girls have enjoyed playing piano and are eager to continue and improve their skills. They have learned so much in their time with her and I highly recommend Ms. Jivana for anyone looking to take piano lessons. She\u2019s exactly what I was looking for in a teacher and I\u2019m thankful for her.”\u00a0 \u00a0– Shavone, mom<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“My 7 year old son wanted to learn to play the Ukulele.\u00a0 In recent years they have become super popular and for young kids it is a great instrument for them to start with.\u00a0 It’s easy to manage and not a big financial commitment like buying a grand piano for a couple months of lessons!\u00a0 We found Jivana and she has been great.\u00a0 He has been taking lessons for the last couple of months with her and really loves it!\u00a0 Jivana is great with kids, she sits on the floor with them and jams. She keeps them engaged and exposes them to other instruments, including keyboards, bass and drums so that kids get to understand music theory and how other instruments work.\u00a0 She also teaches them how to read music which I really wanted.\u00a0 I would highly recommend Jivana for anyone that is interested in music, no matter what age!”\u00a0 \u00a0– Rebecca, mom<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“My 7–<\/span>year-old daughter has been taking piano lessons with Miss Jivana <\/span><\/em>for two years and has done very well. Jivana is very patient and encouraging, meeting her on her level and <\/em>taking time to explain and demonstrate new songs, scales and exercises. My daughter now has the confidence <\/em>to get through challenging pieces at her own steady pace. She is reading notes comfortably and has developed a nice singing voice along the way! Jivana gives out writing homework assignments which I feel has benefitted her as well! She has recently learned to prepare <\/em>for recitals and get through her performance safely. <\/em>I would absolutely recommend Jivana as a music teacher for children in any capacity. Thanks Jivana!”\u00a0 – Casandra, mom <\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cJivana is a very energetic and patient teacher. My sons 10 and 8 started as beginners 15 months ago taking lessons once a week. As of today, they both read music, follow rhythm comfortably and play sing-along themes.\u00a0<\/em>The older one got started on classical music, happily participating in the spring recital. \u00a0<\/em>I\u2019m surprised how fast my kids learned music and got engaged in playing piano. <\/em>Jivana is an excellent teacher, emphasizing not only repetition and practicing techniques, but how to master each piano theme\u00a0with ease. She also taught my kids to enjoy playing music and guide them on it’s interpretation\u201d. \u00a0– Patricia, mom<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

“My son age 12 and daughter age 10 take weekly Ukulele lessons with Jivana in our home and they are excited each week. A bit of a struggle at first, but they are coming along nicely and they like their teacher. I recommend Jivana Condak as a highly competent and passionate teacher who is experienced and patient with her students. I’m glad my kids are getting the nurturing and discipline they need to learn a new instrument. So fun to watch them grow through music! Thanks, Jivana!” –\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Mary, mom<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“My daughter Roosevelt, age six has been taking weekly piano lessons with Miss Jivana since she was five years old. When she began her lessons she was not able to read or write yet and Jivana got her started with the basics which helped her when she got into kindergarten. Eventually she was able to read and write music as well! Miss Jivana has always been very patient and and generous with her time. I highly recommend Jivana as a music teacher for all ages and skill levels. She is extremely passionate and it shows through her teaching. Roosevelt has come a long way, thanks to Jivana.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>– Jenny, mom<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
