The studio prides itself on satisfied and happy students and parents, and also results. The students are not only regularly selected for NYSSMA, NCMEA, school plays and distinguished scholarships (such as The Stephen K. Pregmon String Spring Scholarship and The Juliette Brigid Sweeney Scholarship for Early Singers) but we also have happy clients! The studio puts on several performance recitals a year.
Watching students and families at the studios and recitals growing, improving, overcoming, and enjoying it all.

How did you get started teaching?
Upon my retirement from my state employment I began taking violin lessons. My violin instructor was asked if she knew any guitar teachers. I began teaching guitar and now I am teaching guitar, ukulele, and piano. Since our December recitals I have gotten several new students.
What types of students have you worked with?
Guitar, ukulele, piano students from age 5 to age 65.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I can show a student pretty much all they need to know, but practice at home is mandatory to succeed.
