I have seen Jolanta teach children and adults , adapting her teaching to bring the best out of all her student whilst remaining professional . I am a very mature student ( 61) and had never played an instrument or read music before I started my harp lessons. I cannot recommend her more highly, she would be an excellent choice for both students starting out and experience musicians who wish to progress further .
