Olive Tree Music Academy Verona

Thanks to you, and specifically Stephanie, for a wonderful recital. My son has had a great experience, and learning to play has really helped him develop his confidence. We appreciate having the gift of music in his life.

My son is six, and tends to be a whirlwind of strong will and creative thought...in other words, stubborn and an inadvertent troublemaker. What I love about our experience with Olive Tree is that they are able to draw out of him what he loves about music, rather than forcing him into a box. Just the other day, he walked into his lesson crying, and I thought for sure it was going to be a half hour of him sulking and refusing to pick up his violin. Instead, Tricia talked to him, got him talking about what he's best at (instead of what he's not so good at) and suddenly the violin was in his hands. When she found out he was dying to play "rock music" she explained how there are rock violins, asked him his favorite song, figured out the notes on the violin, and spent the rest of the lesson teaching that to him. He left with a huge smile on his face, and was excited to go home and practice. That is truly the art of teaching at work, and I couldn't be more pleased. It takes a very special talent to do that. Thank you Olive Tree and Tricia!
