Mr. Horton is an amazing music teacher that has been teaching my child for the last 6 years. He has helped Samantha in her pronunciation, musical phrasing, performance practice, breathing, range building, body posture as well as helping her to "own" the song that she is singing. Sam's voice has significantly improved over time. I highly recommend Mr. Horton.

We are so glad that we found to Miss Natalia Hudson as our daughter's piano teacher. She is so patient and loving teacher she gives extra miles with her students our daughter is 5 years old they are friends because she knows how to interact/ teach to small kids. Our daughter is learning so much she loves when they have show time, play duet and doesn't want to miss the class we hope Natalia can continue teaching her because she has talent to teach small kids. We highly recommend her to any student or any institution as a teacher.
