Testimonials

"All three of my children loved having Vesela as a piano teacher. She made the lessons fun and enjoyable. She has incredible patience with the children and was able to strike the right balance between nurturing and providing clear direction. All three children miss Vesela incredibly and have all commented that they wished she was still teaching them.
I have no doubt that Vesela will thrive wherever she teaches piano next. Future students will be lucky to have her as their teacher! We all wish her the best for the future."

"Vesela is a very passionate and patient piano tutor, who had been successfully tutoring my daughter for six years, starting when my daughter was 7-year-old, through various piano grades. My daughter had one-hour weekly sessions with Vesela, mostly in-person, but also online during the pandemics. I wholeheartedly recommend Vesela to anyone looking for a piano teacher, especially children."

"Vesela - popularly called as Vesie was a great teacher my daughter ever had. My daughter (currently in Grade 6 doing online lessons) started taking classes since she was 7. She helped her a method to approach a piece in a step by step manner in order to learn perfectly. She was dedicated and disciplined in order to develop effective practise habits, coach her on excellent technique in order to ease the pressure of learning. A very friendly , smiling and encouraging teacher we ever had."

"I was lucky enough to be recommended Vesela as a piano teacher for my son by another mom of a schoolmate! We at that stage were struggling with the piano progress for my son: while he genuinely wanted to keep music in his life and I promised to myself to support it as long as his interest was there. The progress was extremely slow and I was worried that my son’s interest will disappear with frustration. This is until Vesi came into his life. She is so patient, friendly, knowledgeable and delicate - that my son became genuinely passionate, proud and interested again and the progress was so significant and so fast! He was straight away selected to perform at school’s competitive music cup (something he tried twice before with no luck). He passed his grade - something he was dreaming about but started to give up on. Vesela knows how to approach children and how to interest them in music while gently keeping them practicing. I wholeheartedly recommend Vesela as a piano teacher for your child or if you are an adult alike and feel a bit lost now that she is moving as she set a very high bar in standard of teaching- very hard to match."

"Vesela Mladenov has been my daughter’s piano teacher for over 9 years and has guided and prepared her to a high standard all through grades 1-8. Over the past years Ms Mladenov has encouraged and motivated her even through the pandemic by radiating a positive and understanding attitude to her work as a piano teacher though the adaptation to my child’s needs to learn and achieve. Vesela Mladenov has acted professionally at all times from being punctual and consistent with her lessons to always being keen to aid my daughter in her lessons. Overall, it has been a pleasure having Ms Mladenov as my daughter’s piano teacher, her hard work and dedication has encouraged confidence in my daughter especially in terms of performing and has brought out her passion and love for music."

"Vese taught both my children and gave them a very good foundation for higher piano and musical skills. She is passionate about advancing each child’s potential and very encouraging throughout her teaching. Both children advanced very quickly through the ABRSM grades, with one finishing Grade 8 and another Grade 7 with Vese when she relocated away from London to Warwickshire."

"Vesi has taught my 2 daughters piano since they were aged 4 and 3 respectively, they have essentially grown up with Vesi in their lives and we miss her dearly. Vesi has a unique and wonderful way of communicating with children of all ages at their level about music. She has a special instinct about how to make the lesson fun, challenging and for lifting their confidence and leave them wanting more. She is very attentive and communicative with parents and has helped us in refining our goals for music tuition for the girls and has taught us how to help the girls progress. My girls have blossomed under Vesi’s instruction and importantly found their own styles and interests. Vesi lights up the room when she enters and her technical and teaching skills are very advanced. She became a true friend to us over the years and I’m sure this is true for all the families in her charge which was very evident from the annual recitals she held showcasing all her students."

"Velela Mladenov was recommended to us by a friend of mine, whose daughter she taught. She has great passion for teaching my kids, who are both taking grade 8 in piano. In the short span of just 5 years Vesela has taught my children to love and enjoy the piano like no other teacher could. Vesela has a deep understanding of music and loves teaching children. It’s my great pleasure to recommend her; she is an incredible teacher!"

"Vesi was my piano teacher for 10 years. I met her when I was 7 and she taught me how to play from the complete basics. I absolutely loved going to lessons as she would always encourage me to keep going when I found a piece of music difficult. Thanks to Vesi, I have now finished all 8 grades and am hoping to get my diploma as well. I am truly forever grateful to her for supporting me throughout the last 10 years and I would highly recommend her as a piano teacher."

"Vesela is an extremely good teacher. She is flexible, patient, helpful, inspiring, positive and always greets you with a smile on her face. She taught my daughter to pass her Grade 1 exam and always encouraged her to do piano practices. She has the technique and knowledge of the grade system to help students to pass their grades.I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone wishing to take up piano lessons."

"I would like to give a reference for Vesela Mladenov as an exquisite piano teacher that has incredible skills working with kids. Such as access to every child according to the age, musical level and additional requirements. Always organising a concert at the end of the year with all kids performance to get experience with the stage. I know Vesela Mladenov for more than 10 years as piano teacher of two of my children my son who's preparing a grade 7 piano level and my youngest daughter prepare for grade 3 piano. Vesela taught them both with patience, care, understanding and lots of love. Vesela Mladenov will be a great credit to every musical department, school, piano classes etc."

"Vesela has been our piano teacher for over 7 years. She has taught all my 3 girls who have been progressing surely and steadily through the grades. My eldest is on grade 6, my middle child on grade 4 and my youngest is just starting. She teaches them all with kindness and enthusiasm and we believe they have stayed enthusiastic about playing because they are being challenged in the right way in their lessons, keeping things fresh but never missing or skipping steps needlessly. I would highly recommend her to teach anyone's child!"

"It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Vesela Mladenov. Vesela has taught my daughter piano for 7 years, helping her to make tremendous progress in that time. She is not only friendly and patient, but is also highly motivational. She pushes her students to perform to the best of their abilities, which has led to my daughter passing both her Grade 6 piano and Grade 5 music theory exams in a record span of 6 years. Additionally, Vesela has helped to instill a sense of confidence in my daughter, who used to be shy by nature. She has encouraged her to perform in her annual concerts where every student performs a piece in front of other students and parents. This has certainly helped my daughter to come out of her comfort zone and be more self-assured. I have also seen Vesela help her students be more expressive through their piano and enjoy playing instrument. In the 6 years that we have known Vesela, she has become more like family and my younger son adores her though he is not into piano. I highly recommend Vesela Mladenov as a piano teacher for students of all ages, and I wish her and her students the very best as they embark on their musical journey with Vesela."

"I am very happy to write a letter of reference and recommendation for Vesie Mladenov. Vesie was the piano teacher for my two children, who are now 9 and 11, for more than the past 5 years. Vesie taught my children classical grade piano from both the ABSRM and Trinity syllabus. My children regularly achieved a high standard in their piano exams, were always very well prepared and developed a strong appreciation of piano and music under Vesie's tuition. Vesie is an excellent musician with many years of teaching experience. I have witnessed the incredibly high standard of her teaching by attending all the piano concerts of Vesie's students over the years. The standard right up to Grade 8 was always exceptionally high and it was clear that Vesie is very passionate about teaching piano and music to all ages and takes great pride in her students. Not only was Vesie an excellent piano teacher, but she was also an incredibly kind and patient teacher. Vesie always encouraged the children to be the best they could be to practice, to try hard and to achieve a high standard, being both firm and yet kind and patient at the same time. Vesie has a genuine interest in the children and their piano and achievements. My children were very sad that Vesie moved from London to Warwick and that it was not possible for her to continue the piano lessons with her. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Vesie to any parent."
