I offer violin lessons
She is very talented and was able to play during the end of December which is a plus. I would highly recommend. She played best I ever had by Drake and Love Story by Taylor Swift.
Great performance! Super easy to work with and communicates well. Would definitely have her back to play again.
Rafalia was an absolute pleasure to work with and would HIGHLY recommend for any occasion. She was easy to communicate with, was extremely responsive, and is the ultimate professional. She performed at my proposal, and my fiancé burst into tears the moment she heard Rafalia start playing - she even learned how to play a song that was special for us.
If you are considering hiring Rafalia, consider no further - she is fantastic!!
She played beautifully and was very responsive and accommodating.
Easy to work with ans hard worker. Learned the songs quickly
