When I came to Mr. C my understanding of my voice and what I had was very limited. I thought I could only do a few things vocally. He was able to see what was in me before I could. He was one of the first people in my life to really help me believe in my singing voice. Through our time together I developed my vocal range, falsetto, vocal exercises and confidence in the range of my voice. He went the extra mile in so many ways as a teacher by even showing up and accompanying me on the keyboard at my performances, giving me opportunities to play, and always being available when I had questions or a needs. I would not be the artist or vocalist I am today without Mr. C's investment of time and teaching in me. Very thankful for Mr. C

Being Nancy's son, I've witnessed firsthand a lifetime of dedication to her craft. She has amazed and inspired me since childhood.
Her sensitivity to individual students' needs, her ability to communicate musical concepts in clear terms, and her talent for connecting with students of any age and from any walk of life, are but a few of the MANY reasons I recommend her as an instructor.
With how much she poured into my own education as a child, the advantages I enjoy as an adult are a testament to her teaching nature. She carries this quality into her teaching. Over the years I've seen countless pupils flourish under her guidance—and in some cases, even embark on musical careers of their own!

Chris is great! At the very first session I learned so much. He’s super friendly, loves to talk about music and guitars. Knows a ton about playing guitar and makes learning a great time. I highly recommend him.

I feel very fortunate to have found Raisa as a piano teacher. I am an advanced adult student who has played the piano for many years and studied with many teachers. I am truly convinced that Raisa is an exceptional teacher – she has an in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the music including styles, historic context, technique, and of course, musicianship. And she conveys this knowledge effectively and often with a great sense of humor.
She has shown me how to make difficult technical problems easier (I am playing pieces that I never thought I’d be able to play) and given me a greater understanding of how to analyze a piece of music – always in a manner that makes the knowledge transferable to other pieces of music. What’s most important to me, however, is that I feel that I am always being challenged to reach my personal best. She does not let me settle for “just okay” or “just good”, but encourages me to listen and work out those details in the music that separate the good from the artistic. Because of her, I believe I have really grown as a musician.
