'Zanete's energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and I have always felt encouraged to play my best during our highly enjoyable lessons together. Zanete has an attention to detail that prevents me from resorting to bad habits in my playing, while at the same time allowing me to express myself and progress at my own pace.'
