When I came to Zoe a couple of months ago after a long hiatus from formal singing, my throat felt very tight--my range had gone down to just over an octave. A couple of months later, I can sing nearly three octaves, and my voice is more relaxed than ever. I've found my falsetto, and every week my voice is more resonant and free. Zoe is incredibly knowledgeable about the voice both from a technical and a practical perspective. In lessons, she is careful to differentiate among the things she tells me what is actually (physically) going on with my voice organs and what is merely a feeling or a metaphor she is using as a didactic tool. And that is just a small testament to her technical knowledge and the way she uses it with her students. She also has a wealth of personal experience and anecdotes from her years teaching students. It seems every hiccup I've encountered, she has either personally dealt with it (such as unlearning certain common but unhealthy vocal techniques) or has had students with the exact problem. In addition to her impressive resume and evident teaching ability, she has been very considerate and understanding with me, while maintaining high and professional standards for the quality and work she expects out of me. I cannot recommend Zoe highly enough.

I find learning in the beginner and just beyond beginner class I have been taking to be very enjoyable. I have learned a lot from Tim Maynard and learning how to play has been a wonderful experience for me in a group setting. The Jam sessions and Make Music Day that I have attended have been wonderful learning experiences as well. I am very happy to have found Tim and Highland Guitar Studio.

I really enjoy my piano lessons with Philip. He is very skilled at breaking down and teaching any song I come in with. The environment is very welcoming. My lessons at Brookside Music are a part of my week that I always look forward to.

Lessons with Tim were always fun and productive. He gave specific suggestions about technique to give me a better sound and he taught me a variety of ways to practice that continue to help me learn and understand jazz standards today. In addition to all of this, Tim is very encouraging and he creates a safe and fun learning environment.

I have watched my son progress over the last 6 years from an average piano player to a brilliant piano player. I can positively attribute this to his outstanding piano teacher, Jean Pierre. Being a pianist myself and coming from a musical family - JPs passion, care, dedication to pupils and attention to detail together with his absolute love for teaching piano has put my son's piano playing on another level of excellence!

Daniel Blake Feldshon recommends Music by Roberta. What a blessing to have worked with Roberta! I learned so much about myself not only the music component. Our lessons were full of laughter, joy, wisdom, knowledge and hard work. I continue to stay in touch with Roberta to this day! She helped me get out of my comfort zone and I will never forget that. I appreciate every moment I had with her and I will hopefully stay in touch for the rest of my life!

Julie made me feel so comfortable with my first lesson! She’s easygoing as well as very knowledgeable in her profession. Excited for my next lesson!

My 12 year old absolutely loves his virtual trumpet sessions with Maggey. She stepped up when schools were closed due to COVID and provided a uniquely fun experience for my child during uncertain times. She is an amazing instructor with tons of energy and lots of talent to share!
