"Music is to Zohara as bread is to butter -–they were created to be together!" Zohara’s passion and philosophy toward music is truly inspirational. It is rare to find a teacher who is so entirely and trustily dedicated to her students and profession. She lives and breathes this passion and conveys it to those around her no matter how musically illiterate they are! Zohara employs creative techniques to encourage her students and enable them to gain a sense of personal achievement, whilst at the same time indiscernibly challenging them in their musical ability development. Our sons, Bryce and Jarrad have gained a talent through Zohara’s tutelage that has brought them wonderful personal fulfilment which will no doubt continue to grow and be a gift for a lifetime. As a family, we feel extremely fortunate to have Zohara and music enriching our lives….." ✩ Thank you Zohara, and keep twinkling ✩ Scott, Jenny, Bryce and Jarrad, Sunshine Coast, Australia
Discovering the Talent Education Method of Dr Suzuki under the careful direction of Zohara, has been revealing and very enlightening. Naturally this has involved learning the piano and enjoying the depth of music that is created under Zohara’s tuition. But it is more than piano studies. Suzuki education with Zohara, is also a positive parenting program which is calming and soul searching. Dr Suzuki said, ‘Character first, ability second.’ As parents we really need to reflect upon our own characters as adults before we even start to have expectations of our children. Lessons with Zohara are rich in providing the best piano schooling for my children and allow me to consider every week how I can improve myself as a parent. I have spent 9 wonderful years with Zohara and I hope for many more…." Gina F. , Sunshine Coast, Australia
"Zohara is known for her passion and ability to embrace vision, philosophy and methodology, all which are wrapped and delivered with her warmth, authenticity ,wisdom, humour and love. Learning from the master, this is how it feels when you sit at her feet. (I know she's going to protest reading the last phrase, as she always insists on working from the circle while including everyone in the discussion). All of this is being conveyed in meeting and learning from her live and/or online. She is fully present in what she loves, teaches and lives. Zohara is a way shower. She lives what she teaches, walking her talk ". S.M. , UK

"I cannot let this day pass without telling you what an impression you made on me at the Melbourne Autumn Festival last week and to thank you for giving me so much inspiration. You may recall at your excellent address on Saturday morning, I said that for me I taught Suzuki because I felt it important to do something positive for people (because if I don't what is the point to my existence?) - well, you made a very positive impact on my day and that effect is going to stay with me. I took away many pearls of wisdom from your presentations! The one I am reflecting on most today is how I use my time! No rushing around for me, that's for sure. Hopefully, I can pass on some of what I learned from you at Autumn Festival to my students! Warmest regards, big hugs and most of all, thank you for coming to Melbourne, for sharing so much!!!!"

"We have always had a challenging time raising our middle daughter. Problems kept coming as she was growing up and we were frequently puzzled by the difficult job at hand (especially after finding the first born so easy to "handle"...) It went like this for years, UNTIL we met you. Thank God for bringing you to our life. You have taught us how to look at her through a new pair of eyes. We learnt to love her over and over again , while watching you loving her for who and what she was. And all of this was done in a threatening atmosphere of music and creativity. You are a magician... your work is healing soul and heart. No words to express our gratitude". L.F. Sydney, Australia
"Zohara I just wanted to thank you again for such a wonderful day today and hope you will be able to do many more Teacher Training days for us." Marie,NZ
