I like the classes with Mariana because she is very flexible and she adapts the material to your skills. As well I like it very much because she can also dance and explain from both perspectives, musician and dancer.

Mariana has a deep understanding of both worlds, dance and music, which combined with strong musicianship make her a fantastic accompanist. I asked for her advice to enhance my playing for company classes so we scheduled a few online coaching sessions. Her insight and bright ideas helped me a lot. We had a great time!

Mariana has been the perfect introduction I needed to the world of dance accompaniment. Thanks to her, I managed to pass the tests that allowed me to work as a dance accompanying pianist.
