Gabriela, ever since I met you, you have given me love, support, and you have taught me so much. You have always been like a mother to me, sending me get well cards when I am sick or hurt, giving me birthday presents, and lots of stickers! I know that what you have taught me about the piano will go a long way in my future and in my career.
Thank you so much for everything you have done and given to me throughout my life! It was a blessing to have known you!
Love, Courtney

I studied with Gabriela for eight years and during those years my love and appreciation for piano grew immensely. Gabriela showed me that playing piano is not a chore but instead an art and a passion that helped me relieve stress, sadness, and anger. Her passion for piano is always present during lessons and has increased mine. She taught me that learning the notes is not enough, it is how much soul and effort you put into a piece that makes it truly magical. She chose pieces from different eras and composers but always took into account whether or not I liked the music. She is wonderful and dedicated teacher who I would highly recommend to anyone interested in learning to play the piano.

Thank you so much for everything you have done for me; not only being an amazing teacher but also being a second mom. You not only taught me technique and musicality but also how to be prepared and confident in performances. Thank you for supporting, teaching, and taking care of me all of these years. You are wonderful, and I’m really going to miss you.
Mariam
I have yet to find a piano teacher as amazing as you. I have not met anyone in New York who exemplifies your passion for the instrument.
Thank you again!

Ariel Aguinis Levine, graduating senior
It is difficult to fully describe the impact that you have had on my life. Not only have you been a fabulous mentor, but I also see you as a loving member of my family. Thank you so much for your wisdom, your support, and for being the greatest teacher in the world.
(Spanish)
Es difícil de describir con palabras el impacto que has tenido en mi vida.
No solamente sos una mentora fabulosa, si no te veo más como una tía cariñosa.
Muchísimas gracias por todas tus enseñanzas, tu sabiduría, tu apoyo, y por ser la mejor maestra del mundo.
Carmen, adult student
I just wanted to tell you how much I loved coming to your performance this week. Honestly Gabi, your pieces were so very, very beautiful - I was truly moved by them both. And what you said was also beautiful. I have been stretching out the beauty of your playing by listening to your CDs all week long. They are treasures to me, as are you. I feel so blessed to know you through music, to be able to study with you, to be able to share friendship with you, but most of all just to sit in your presence. You are such a precious light in the universe. I love you Gabi.
