Cheryl is astonishingly kind, insightful and patient. As an adult beginner without any musical background but plenty of bad musical learning experiences to overcome I feel truly blessed to have found Cheryl. She is funny, supportive, knows her stuff and has an amazing breadth of musical mastery. I am so excited and happy to have such an excellent teacher and feel confident I will learn to play the accordion and fulfill a lifelong dream to have music in my life.
