I am an older student and have taken lessons from a few piano teachers over the years. Alexis is by far my favorite. She teaches not only how to play but theory as well. Very patient, extremely knowledgeable, can't say enough great things about her. Wouldn't ever want a different teacher. I feel very lucky!

We loved it! She’s patient and doesn't rush you into learning. :)
My child was taking lessons with a previous teacher but we switched to Kelsi. She was able to get my daughter to enjoy her lessons again. She just progressed so much! Kelsis teaching style is effect without making it feel too serious and intense.

It's a private lesson and Arlette is such an out going person that you don't have to be nervous (for those of you are nervous to do voice lessons). She lets you pick your own songs so you can feel comfortable singing. I recommend her to anyone!
