I am a new student with Yulia  and she is simply fantastic. I have many years of saxophone experience and I know music. It is clear to me that she is an exceptional teacher and it will be anyone's good fortune to study with her. For anyone at any level she is a rare gem of a teacher with both the passion and the skill for what she does.

Yulia is truly the best flute teacher that I have ever had the pleasure to study with. She knows an incredible amount about flute instruction and technique. Her explanations of flute playing are detailed and easy to comprehend. I have grown more in the two years she has been my teacher than the five other years I have played.‎

I have been studying with Yulia since I first picked up a flute seven years ago and I'm still studying with her. Yulia is like a bottomless pit of knowledge and she always has something new and exciting to teach. She cares so much for each of her students and their success. She gives each of us so much attention each lesson and is totally inspiring in everything she does. I have achieved so much learning with her and she is everything you could ask for in a teacher.

I have been playing the flute for almost 30 years and in that time have received superior training. Yulia Berry has teaching techniques that have taken my playing to a new level. I'm amazed at how much I have learned from her. I have seen her work with flutists of all skill levels and as a middle school teacher myself, I can attest to the fact that she has the ability to meet the needs of her students. She has a supportive and encouraging nature. If you choose Yulia as a flute teacher, you will not be disappointed!

Dear Yulia,
I am absolutely impressed of how you can bring up the best of Paula. She had an amazing lesson yesterday and she was saying in the car: "I love Yulia". I very very much appreciate your diligence and commitment teaching us. Your teaching skills are exceptional and we feel very lucky to be your students. (From the email)

My daughter began to learn flute six months ago and she became one of Yulia's students one month ago. We do appreciate her nice and interesting class. My daughter loved to practice more and more because Yulia always encourages and keeps her going ahead nicely. Also very important thing is she got confidence during Yulia's class and the recital. The recital last week really impressed our family. It is amazing that her senior students played at the very professional level. I am wondering how skillful Yulia should be. We felt so lucky to have Yulia as a teacher even we have to drive one hour to have a class. We think it is worth it!

My daughter, Paula (8 years old) and myself started taking lessons with Yulia back in April 2010. She is a superb teacher, committed and very patient with new students like my daughter and I. She takes her job very seriously, never waste a minute and she is always going the extra mile to ensure her students are progressing. Yulia has added a new dimension to our lives and we would be forever grateful of her lessons. Thanks to Yulia, we are now playing and enjoying flute every day. We highly recommend her lessons and can guarantee that you can't never go wrong with her. If you like flute and you are considering lessons you should call Yulia right away. She is not only an amazing teacher but also a wonderful person. We can assure you that you would enjoy every minute of your lesson.

Linda was so excited to have class with you. I could feel her happy and she is more likely to practice flute than before. We are so lucky to have you as her teacher.

My first flute lesson with Mrs. Berry was a complete and total lifesaver. Just prior to it, I had attended my first orchestra class in school. I was not new to flute, but I had only ever played simple exercises. Upon my attendance, I came to the realization that I was in dire need of a flute teacher, as I could not even play a single piece and had not the faintest idea of how to do it in an orchestra. With no more than a few days to find a flute teacher, I asked my mother to see if she might find one online. My mother, in turn, sent emails to a few contenders. Mrs. Berry responded almost immediately and, though it was not ideal timing, she held an "emergency lesson" for me at her home. Within that one lesson, I learned much about playing in an orchestra, so that I would not be so lost. I also discovered that a third octave exists on the flute. This came as news to me and I learned the majority of it within the hour. In only a couple of months, I have become completely comfortable in an orchestral environment and continue to expand my knowledge of flute in every lesson such that I also enjoy playing and practicing.
In short, the experience with Mrs. Berry's flute lessons by far bested all others taught by other instructors. Learning comes at a surprisingly rapid pace with fresh, interesting materials always on hand. Recitals, encouraged, though not enforced, are enjoyable and comfortable rather than nerve racking, and overall, Mrs. Berry's flute lessons have been nothing short of outstanding.

I have been taking lessons with Yulia for almost two years and I have progressed so much. She has unique exercises that help with flute technique and makes sure that her students understand the other aspects of music besides the notes. She offers participation in 4 recitals a year which means that her students have the opportunity to study multiple pieces a year. Each new piece presents new challenges to the student that leads to growth. Furthermore her students have the opportunity to play with a professional pianist which develops another important facet of playing. She is also a caring person.
