“Shilla Hekmat and her daughter Paulina are not just piano teachers. They are life instructors that make an impression on the students fortunate enough to study with them. Watching Shilla’s style of building confidence in these young children was awe inspiring.
I would recommend her classes to anyone interested in music as well as anyone interested in building the self esteem of their children.” -Maz Jobrani

“A phrase that comes to mind when thinking of Shilla's teachings is "seed of positivity". She plants and nourishes it well within the children, my son included!
His last recital with Shilla Hekmat Music Academy was a day of magic. All the children had so much energy and confidence because of the positivity Shilla embeds in them.”
