I have been taking lessons with Mrs. Sonneman for years and she has been very patient and understanding throughout my time with her. My technique improved immensely as she really pays attention to fine details. You won’t find an instructor who dedicates more time to perfecting your abilities! Mrs. Sonneman makes every lesson enjoyable and shows that she really cares.
