Excellent teacher

My 8 year old loves to attend her classes. She has been taking weekly classes past 6 months and she is now even able to play a song just by listening to it. Benita is very patient and uses her time effectively during the class. She is very punctual, and it has been a pleasure for us to have her as my child's teacher.

The best keyboard teacher any beginner can ask for

Benita has been the best keyboard teacher any beginner can ask for. She provides individual care to every student and also ensures they learn the grammar of keyboard very well. She has been very patient and it never feels like we are learning in a virtual medium. Her course is very well planned where anyone would learn to read the sheet music in almost no time. I will highly recommend her classes.

Excellent teacher

At first , I was so unsure if online music class could be a good fit for my 7 year old son. But as time passed I noticed great results in my son. Benita is an excellent teacher who knows how to walk children through challenges of learning the piano. I highly recommend her for online classes.

Best Teacher

Benita is so professional and always on time. Has lot of patience and explains very clearly to my kids. This is first time for my kids and they are able to play songs in just 3 months of time. 1 day session in one week. I would definitely commend anybody to Benita. She is very meticulous about the teaching. After class, I make videos of kids practicing and send her. She provides proper offline timely home work and feedback as well so that kids are prepared for the next class. Thank you Benita

Excellent teacher !!

My 10 year old son Aarav has been having piano class with Benita for the past 4 months I think Benita is an amazing instructor. She is very committed to her work and makes sure kids don't only keep progressing with piano but most importantly enjoys playing music. No wonder why whoever I talk to is always interested in having their kids learn piano with Benita.

Benita, thank you very much for all your efforts with Aarav and I hope he can continue with this journey in learning music with you and keeps enjoying it !!

Glad that we chose her

We have been learning from Ms. Benita for the past two months. Impressed with her way of teaching. My daughter loves her classes too. She gives notes and gives exercises and homework which makes the students practice at home as well. My daughter developed interest in music and started learning new songs out of her own interest .

structured lessons, friendly, able to hold kids attention (hard to do in online classes)

My daughter has been having classes with Mrs Benita Mercy since late 2019. Her lessons are structured with just the right amount of balance so that it slots nicely in as both work and fun.
My daughter has picked up a lot of music theory quickly and her interest in playing /music is ramping up.

My 8 year old son has developed a passion for learning how to play the piano, and read music after taking classes from Mrs.Benita Mercy. His instructor, Mrs.Benita Mercy is assertive as well as upbeat providing a positive and nurturing environment. Her distinct technique keeps my son focused while enjoying every class. I highly recommend Mrs.Benita Mercy!"

Best keyboard teacher you can try on...

My child is doing classes with Benita for over 6 months now and I found her classes useful. My child is able to read the musical notes now and able to play well at the basics. Pretty much love the way she prepares the customised misical lessons for the child. Thanks Benita and lift up the spirit.
