Meet the Teacher

Miss Julisa Hernandez

About me:

Hi parent! My name is Julisa Hernandez, I have a music ministries bachelors degree, am part of the board of directors of the Sacramento County music teachers branch, and am a member of MTAC, the Music Teachers’ Association of California, many of my students participate in the Certificate of Merit Program.

I have been working with children for more than 10 years! I strongly believe that positive reinforcement is the best teaching method! I want to make music learning fun and enjoyable! My students follow the advanced Certificate of Merit teaching requirements and are well trained in theory, classical and jazz playing. I also teach how to improvise and play gospel hymns!

Fun Fact: I enjoy drinking coffee and reading a good book on my free time!

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Parent Reviews

Mrs. Julisa has such an amazing teaching technique. I’m so glad my 6yr old and 4yrs old are taking classes with her. Don’t think twice her schedule gets full quickly! I highly recommended her studio to anyone in a heartbeat.

We switched our daughter from the Suzuki method to Ms. Julisa on summer of 2023. The Suzuki method did not work out for our 5 year old daughter; if anything it was holding her back. When we started with Ms. Julisa, we saw a HUGE improvement; within a month of classes our daughter was able to have her first recital. She did so well! She advanced more on a month than on the year that she spent doing the Suzuki method. Ms. Julisa is patient, dynamic on her teaching methods, understanding of different personalities and works extremely well with kids. And the most important part for us is that our daughter trusts, likes and enjoys learning with Ms. Julisa! We are so lucky we found her! We were waitlisted but as soon as she had an opening we took it and we are not looking back!

So if you have the privilege of having her as your kids teacher you won’t regret it.

Mrs Julisa has been an outstanding teacher to my 3 kids. She is so disciplined. What I personally loved about Mrs Julisa is that she pushes my kids so much.

Miss Julisa is amazing! She’s incredibly talented and great with kids. She’s patient and friendly, and my shy daughter warmed right up to her. My daughter had no piano experience prior to working with Miss Julisa and within a few lessons, she understood the fundamentals and was excited to learn more. Miss Julisa is great at quickly assessing a student’s abilities and adjusting the lesson accordingly. After several months my daughter is playing with confidence. She has an encouraging style of teaching and offers tips for improving that kids remember. Miss Julisa inspires my daughter’s dedication to continue to improve and challenge herself. We love working with Miss Julisa!

Julisa is nothing short of amazing. My daughter’s have been taking lessons with her for almost 5 years. She’s the only reason we have been able to stay with piano. Her teaching style is fun and upbeat while holding each student accountable for their own progress. I’m continually amazed by their progress. I can’t recommend her enough.

My son has been taking lessons from Julisa for over four years. I was amazed how she could get him to play and enjoy music at such a young age. She has a kind soul and an abundance of patience. Julisa’s passion for music is evident and teaching is clearly her calling. If are looking for a dynamic piano instructor, look no further.
