Olga is a fantastic music instructor who takes the time to cover the foundations and background of music to give the student a strong base with which to learn. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone wishing to improve their vocal or instrumental skills, or beginners seeking to learn from scratch.

Ms. Olga was my fifth voice instructor. When I came to her, I was missing the basics like breathing and voice control. None of my past teachers taught me properly, but charged me inasane amounts of money. Until I came here. Ms. Olga will start from the basics, and build from there. She has now made me the singer I am today. Olga's Studio is great for beginning singers, piano players, and flute players. She gives great advice regarding your instrument, and will take you by your own pace. She's very talented; I would definitely recommend her!

Olga has been teaching our son and daughter (now 5 and 7) the piano and recorder since March and we couldn't be happier with our choice! She is very personable, great with kids and her lessons are professional yet fun. Our children are making great progress and I have no doubt they will continue to grow not only in their knowledge but also in their love of music. We can highly recommend Olga for any age-group, beginner to advanced.

Olga's education and experience are unmatched in today's marketplace. You will be lucky to have her as a music teacher. I came to her to find out if she could prepare my kids for the ABRSM piano and voice examinations (from the UK) and she transformed our entire approach to mastering the concepts. My draughts sight reading improved 100% because Olga showed us better ways to practice. We have been lucky to find such a great teacher locally and affordable considering she is an accomplished musican in her own right.

I've only been using Olga for a couple of weeks as a piano instructor for my 6 year old, but I think she's a great piano teacher.I'm actually considering piano lessons for myself now. She's firm enough, yet she seems to understand the nature of a child.

Ms. Olga is a professional and accomplished musician. She is awesome with first-time learning music students or with progressed music students. It is very difficult to find a teacher that can relate to young students, while teaching them to learn to play an instrument. She makes learning FUN and rewarding! We are blessed to have her as our son's piano teacher.

It's very important to learn to play correctly from the beginning, otherwise you have to spend a lot of time to relearn it!!! Mrs. Olga suggests European school of Music and correct methods of teaching, since today students after a couple years of lessons can't read notes or don't have any school of Music and correct techniques.( Unfortunately, we have had the bad experience before my daughter started to study with Mrs. Olga.) Now we're absolutely pleased with the result. BTW my daughter loves Mrs. Olga and her classes!

Olga has been teaching my two children (boy,7 years and girl, 5 years) to play piano. She is wonderful, and really understands how to teach to both boys and girls as well as different ages. She taylors her instruction to them individually and provides informative and fun lessons. I have been amazed with their progress and feel very lucky to have found an instructor with such a high level of expertise.

Mrs. Olga teaches our daughter for over a year and we have noticed a big improvement in her playing.Our daughter enjoys her flute lessons and practices every day.

Olga McNeill is an incredible teacher. It can be so difficult to find the right voice coach in Georgia. You won't be disappointed. She takes her enormous amount of professional training (University of Moscow) and incorporates it in an entertaining, understandable, and enthusiastic manner into whatever you are trying to learn or master. Olga had an obvious love for music and for her students as well. Her knowledge is extensive and her professionalism unmatched. She emphasizes breathing and singing the natural, healthy way and explains technique in a clear, direct way. In a city like Atlanta where anyone can be an "acting or singing coach" - you really need to be careful. Most of these importers are in it to make a quick buck while damaging your voice! Olga is a highly credentialed and brilliant teacher as well as incredible singer. She will spot your strengths and weaknesses and will not make you feel bad about them. She knows a lot about preparation, about different kinds of music and most important she enjoys doing it. The best vocal coach I've ever worked with!
