The following are direct quotes from my current and former students.....
Mario Watson: Why I love studying piano with Christina.....
She has very positive and contagious energy. She has a keen ability to connect with different kinds of students, students of all ages with a variety of musical interests. She is quickly able to recognize and adapt to different learning styles. She’s musically and artistically wise and eclectic. She’s patient, understanding, engaging and challenging.
Melody Van Arragon (adult student w/tendonitis): Christina is full of kindness and technical expertise. She helped me greatly during a year of retraining, patiently teaching me efficient and healthy movements at the piano. Her warm manner paired with immense technical knowledge is a dynamic combination. Thanks to her, I am playing better and feeling positive about playing the piano for life.
Robin Hanks: Christina Dragone is great. I would highly recommend her. (In an email to me): Thanks so much for helping Megan with her project. Her teacher emailed me and said Megan should be your press agent because she said such wonderful things about you in her presentation. Looks like you have made quite an impression on her. Thank you for teaching Megan to love playing piano.
Micaela Campos: (Former student studying music at college) I miss you dearly. Thank you so much for being a big influence in my life, I hope to see you again soon!
Robin Galloway: Thank you for being such a patient and understanding teacher. ( regarding her 7 year old son)
Maren McKolay: Dragone! You are the best pianist out there! Your smile and laughter is what every kid needs! We will be back! 6 years?
