Personalized

We believe each student has their own journey with music.

We follow your talents, rather than expect you to fit into one set “way” of doing things. Everything is customized, from the books we order, pieces we select, exercises chosen, events recommended. We believe each student has their own journey with music; we are there to help you find your talents and refine them, So where one student may thrive in competitions and love performing, another may enjoy music theory, composing, and performing somewhat less. We tailor everything to you, every lesson.
