Crystal taught my son French horn and mellophone for 4 years while he attended Churchill High School. She was always very professional, kind, and cheerful. Her enthusiasm for instrumental music, and her many tips and tricks specific to my son's instruments, inspired him to grow from an average freshman musician to a senior leader in the wind ensemble. Crystal gently but firmly pushed my son out of his introverted comfort zone, encouraging him to participate in annual MSBOA ensemble competitions, and finally convincing him to compete as a soloist his senior year. Crystal has passed down her love of the French horn and mellophone so thoroughly that she has inspired my son to continue to play in his college band. Crystal has shown herself to be a passionate supporter of our community by donating her lesson time as auction items for a Churchill High School marching band fundraiser. She is a 2002 graduate of Churchill High School, and was section leader of the mellophone section while there. She earned her Bachelor's Degree in Music Education through Western Michigan University, where she also marched in the Bronco Marching Band and served as mellophone section leader. She has a Master's Degree from Boston University. In addition to French horn and mellophone, she teaches trumpet/cornet, trombone, baritone/euphonium, and tuba. If you are looking for a quality instructor for your son or daughter, I highly recommend Crystal Rumbell. She has a very strong positive reputation among all local instrumental music teachers, and among accompanists for solo competitions.

Gail is an outstanding piano teacher for my children. She is highly trained in the Suzuki method, but also incorporates other excellent materials for sight reading, theory, etc. She has high expectations of the students and has their respect. At the same time she is very patient, engaging, and loving. Gail puts a lot of effort into using techniques which will motivate each child at each stage of his development. Through the studio we also engage in valuable group classes, recitals, social events, workshops, competitions, and piano performance as a service opportunity in the community. Being part of the studio is much more than a weekly lesson. Highly recommend!

"I have been a student of Peter's for over 10 years. He is a wonderful teacher; patient, kind and knowledgeable. As a working adult, I was concerned about how much time I would have to practice and dedicate to my piano lessons. Peter is always understanding of my sometimes hectic schedule! I never feel guilty or stressed out about it and am able to enjoy playing for pleasure. I have learned new skills, gained confidence, and have achieved greater technical proficiency thanks to Peter's excellent teaching skills!"
