"Mary has been teaching me cello for a few years now, and she has been incredible! She is always tailoring my lessons to help me make the best progress and is so patient and skillful. I could not recommend her more!"

"Mary is a fun and engaging violin teacher. My daughter loves learning from her and is enjoying her violin lessons more and more each week."

"Mary is an incredible teacher. As an adult learner of cello, she has supported my growth with personalized, tailored instruction that results in constant progress without making me feel overwhelmed. She is kind and supportive and each lesson is a joy. Her knowledge base is broad, and she is able to select and provide just the right resource to further my learning. I can’t recommend her highly enough!"

"I just began my cello journey three years ago with Mary Barba. I am an adult learner and Mary is a perfect fit for me. She has an unlimited amount of patience and expertise. Best of all, she loves music and brings that joy to every lesson. I would recommend her in a heartbeat."

"Mary is a great teacher! She’s encouraging and a pleasure to learn from. I’ve been taking cello lessons for almost 3 years! And I plan on many more."
