My daughter loves working with Bonnie. She is patient and kind. I would highly recommend her for art lessons.

Bonnie is a PHENOMENAL teacher! She knows music extremely well and has a lengthy experience of playing and teaching. Her knack for clearly communicating technique and theory places her in the highest of accomplished players. I would not hesitate in allowing her to set you up for success in your pursuit of artistic creativity and musical acuity.

My daughter has studied art, painting and crafting with Ms. Coleman for 7 years and guitar for nearly a year now. Under Bonnie's guidance Madison has won numerous awards in State and local competitions. She won the 2012 State wide centennial school district art award first place. Her art was displayed in Secretary of State Huppenthal's office. Madison was also accepted, through a juried process into the New School of the Arts and Academics. Bonnie encourages Madison's exploration of multiple art forms in music and art, such as sculpting, mixed media, fashion design and photography. I feel very comfortable with my teenage daughter's future being so strongly influenced by Ms. Coleman's encouragement to pursue a successful career in the arts.

Bonnie has been teaching my oldest son how to play the guitar for two years. He has learned so much from her. When he started playing the Baritone last year he didn't have any issues with reading the music thanks to his lessons with Bonnie. My youngest son is taking art lessons and gets better and better with each lesson. Bonnie is a very patient and fun teacher. She is also very encouraging.
