"Studying with Elisa Marchetti has made me enjoy playing the clarinet even more. She is always encouraging and supportive, and that has really helped me become more confident. She has a great sense of humor, and because of that we have built a really good relationship. I always look forward to her lessons!

Since I started learning with her, I have improved a lot as a clarinet player and I feel much more confident in myself. One of the best experiences has been taking part in the school opera Penelope’s Game. I am really proud to be involved in it, and I always enjoy rehearsing with the orchestra.

Recently, I have even started thinking that I might like to become a musician in the future. What I admire most about Elisa is how well she understands and connects with children. She always knows how to motivate us and make learning music fun."

"I’ve learned so much in Elisa’s chamber music lessons! One thing that really helped me was learning to sing the melody before playing it. It sounds simple, but it makes a huge difference—the rhythm feels much clearer and the music comes together so much better.

She’s also taught me lots of new techniques that have really improved my tuba playing. I feel much more confident now, and I’ve discovered new ways to express myself through music. Plus, her lessons are always fun and inspiring, so I’m always excited to come back for the next one!"

"Elisa Marchetti is an innovative and highly artistic teacher with excellent pedagogical and interpersonal skills. She approaches her students with patience, kindness, and genuine respect, while at the same time providing clear guidance and structure in their learning process.

She has a remarkable ability to recognize the individual needs of each student and to support their musical and personal development accordingly. The well-being and success of her students are always among her highest priorities, and she consistently works in the best interests of both the students and the music school."

"I’m really happy to have Elisa as my clarinet teacher. She explains difficult things in such a simple and effective way, and her own playing is really inspiring. Whenever I get stuck on something, she always knows how to help me understand it.

She’s very open-minded, positive, and fun to work with, which makes the lessons enjoyable and motivating. She encourages us to keep improving and makes us want to learn more and get better every week."

"Before I started taking lessons with Elisa, I had been playing the clarinet for four years, but I wasn’t enjoying it anymore and was seriously thinking about quitting.

Everything changed when I began studying with her. Her teaching style was completely different from that of my previous teacher, and she helped me rediscover my enthusiasm for music. I improved quickly because practicing became interesting and rewarding again.

I would highly recommend Elisa to any clarinet student. She is an outstanding musician, a true clarinet expert, and a teacher who genuinely cares about her students. She is supportive, understanding, and always knows how to motivate you to do your best."

"Learn to play clarinet - it would be something for me? Well...who can or want teach me after my 70. birthday? It's a really big hazard for both: student and teacher, isn't it?

After just tow month lessons with Elisa Marchetti I now exactly the answer: the brave of this hazard pays off! I really enjoy every lesson and expecially my audible improvements! But at the some time I know also the disappointment, when it's sound good like home during the lessons. There I feel more frustrated that Elisa: she takes heart on me and tries to let my patience grow up, she reveal my "to high" objectives and shows me appreciation for what I am doing well. Her criticisms and rewards have something in common: both are sincere and hortatory."

"I am an adult and a worker. One year ago I discovered how pleasant is to play a musical instrument: the clarinet. I found woth Elisa Marchetti a qualified teacher, who knows how to wake up my previous musical skills coming from my childhood. She is really attentive to her student's needs and I am fully convinced she possesses all the social and cultural skills for theaching. I hope, I can go on with her for my musical education."

"As a 65-year-old student, I came to the saxophone after many years of enjoying classical music. More recently, I have started exploring jazz, which has been both exciting and challenging. Since studying with Elisa, I have found the transition much easier and more rewarding.

She is a sensitive and attentive teacher who quickly understands where her students are struggling and how to help them move forward. Her suggestions are always practical and useful, whether they concern technique, musical interpretation, or effective practice habits.

What stands out most is the care she puts into each lesson. She observes her students closely, prepares thoroughly, and creates a positive learning environment in which progress feels both achievable and enjoyable."
