VOICE THE MUSIC
It's never too early or too late to learn to sing or play a musical instrument. Music works both sides of your brain, and singing creates endorphins. So you can be both happy and smart!
I have had great fortune to study under great instructors on the professional and university levels. From this and my own musical experiences and studies I teach voice, piano and guitar.
Lessons and workshops are organized and professional, and always with care and fun for the student to achieve their own goals at their own pace.
