I've been teaching music for well over a decade and many things I noticed in other school environments I found frustrating. Mainly the huge disparity in the quality of education between instructors. My clients noticed my attention to detail and love for my students so my studio grew until it was completely filled. I was getting calls for more students and had the idea to start my own company. I wanted to employ teachers that were even more qualified and talented than myself! By building a small passionate team of educators I could ensure that all students received the best possible music education
