TESTIMONIALS:
“ I have to say that as a student coming back to music after six years, I greatly appreciated all your help that helped me to get back on my feet. The lessons I had with you accelerated my learning process to where I can now be a part of High School Band after only having my flute since April of this year. Thank you for helping me to find my passion for music again!”
–Karissa B.
“You really are a great teacher. You never seem to have a last nerve, even when I'm frustrating, because I know I can be, though never done intentionally. You know how to teach, going little by little, always making sure you go right at the student's pace. You're REALLY funny, and teach me new things constantly (flute related and sometimes not but all the same extremely entertaining and needed). You don’t push too much or too little, and that's the way to learn fast and is also very efficient.”
–Jodie S.
