I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole. She is high energy from start to finish. She is patient and kind with my daughter. This is my eight year old's first experience with music lessons. Nicole does a great job balancing music theory with learning the songs, and learning how to breath properly. They are singing songs my daughter loves. I am so glad that we found Nicole to share her beautiful gift and her love of music with my daughter.

Stacey is well aware of various instructors' styles and methods of teaching and is helping our son learn to adapt and anticipate in order to stay on top of his assignments. His highest semester exam score, outside of music theory and band, was Italian. He finished the semester with flying colors and received comments from his teachers; "improving", "tutoring has been very beneficial". We can't say enough good things about Stacey.

Phoebe was our godsend. After assessing her needs, Phoebe began helping her to build the necessary knowledge base in music theory while assisting her with proper form, technique and skill. Phoebe set weekly achievable goals and assigned appropriate exercises to make the challenging class material more accessible for my daughter. Slowly but surely, she began to improve. By the end of the school year, she was playing with significantly more skill, confidence and enjoyment.
