| "As an adult student learning my first string instrument (cello), I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Maria has a way of explaining the "why" of proper technique. She has the uncanny ability of watching you play and then analyzing what it is that will make you sound better. She is also open to all styles of music, which is a plus if you're wanting to stray a bit from classical music!" Debra Mason, www.debramasondesigns.com |
| "Besides being a hugely talented player with a beautiful tone, she has all the required skills to jump into a recording session without so much as a passing glance at the music. No matter what kind of crazy music I put in front of her, Maria is always game. To a professional Los Angeles film composer, this combination of talent and spirit is worth more than gold." Robert Toteras, www.film-noise.com |
| "I'm a singer/songwriter who works with the usual band components -keys, guitar, drums and bass- but when Maria would join us, she was the element that made it sound special. The addition of her and her cello glued our sound together." Beth Thornley, www.beththornley.com |
| "I feel very lucky & happy I found Maria when I was starting to take violin lessons as an adult. She has taught me so much in these last 2 1/2 years; she is ceaselessly patient, a pleasure to be with. I will always remember her caring attitude, her help and her obvious love of music." Tina Suttlemyre, Beverly Hills, CA |
| "Maria’s one of the best teacher’s I’ve ever had— this from a 50 year old with 2 masters degrees and a PhD. I was able to burn through a lot of shame as an adult learner, and find my path as a cellist, even despite my great fears. I would recommend her whole-heartedly to anyone, from small child to elder learner." Gary Glickman, Santa Monica, CA |
| "Maria is a professional in every sense of the word. I have had the great honor of working with Maria in many diverse settings. Her beautiful playing, warm sound and gracious demeanor are just a few of her countless qualities." Julia Cunningham, www.soulharp.com |
| "Mrs. Wilson had made me even more interested in music! I like to learn cello more and more since she taught me. Mrs. Wilson is kind, patient and beautiful!" Rennie Chen, 3rd Grader Los Angeles, CA |
| "Maria is one of those players who offers band leaders and producers that rare gift: something you never have to worry about." Rob Cairns, www.imdb.com/name/nm1052252 |
| “It has been a pure pleasure in experiencing Maria as a Cello Teacher for my daughter Kennedi. She originally started group lessons with Ms. Maria in American Youth Symphony String Project and it was such an experience that I decided that she should take private lessons. Maria nurtured and cultivated Kennedi’s talent and I was simply amazed at Kennedi’s growth with her.” - a very happy Mom, Darlene Mims, Los Angeles, California |
| "I love her because she made me a very accomplished cellist. She commanded the best from me and I was happy to oblige her. I miss her very much.” - a very happy Child, Kennedi Mims-Frederick, Los Angeles, California |

| "Maria was absolutely wonderful to work with. We can't say enough good things about her.. if you need a solo cellist, you do not need to look any further." Jane & Paul, Seattle, WA |
| "My wife and I hired Maria to perform at our wedding in Tacoma, Washington at the Thornewood Castle. She was absolutely amazing and extremely professional. When it came time for the ceremony, the music started right on cue and sounded simply fantastic. If we were doing it all over again, there is no question we would want Maria there again to make our day so very very special." Ron and Andrea Everett, Seattle, WA |
