About
Music-lovers welcome! :)
We're here to share light so you can make noise better.
Music x Storytelling:
We love how music can be body-movin' and also it can lift up our hearts & minds when we surround ourselves with the right people.
...from collaborator-friends, & hero performers, to teaching-artists. Balancing good vibes & discipline takes work, but hey! '...practice makes progress!'
Call us to share the goals & challenges you're facing right now in the music, song, and/or storytelling space because whether you (the student) are playing in a band, orchestra, choir, musical theater troupe, writing your own songs, making beats on your own, or wanting to deepen your appreciation of the craft... Music is the soundtrack of your life!
Our students live primarily in:
•CT, NY, MA, PA, RI, DE, VA, GA, NC, ID, KY, AK, FLA
•your zip code soon?
We proudly work with children (ages: 7+), adults approaching retirement, students with special needs, students of all abilities, seniors, veterans, worship leaders, and homeschool groups.
Looking forward to hearing what inspires you, or your child, most about music and cultivating THAT.
Feel free to contact us anytime to chat about the next steps.
Thanks!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Our online lessons are at a fair and competitive price of $50/half-hour.
How did you get started teaching?
What types of students have you worked with?
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
During the Pandemic lockdown, we had recitals on Zoom that made a lot of people smile. Some students baked cookies & others got out a smoke machine. Lolz
And we all changed the Zoom background to red velvet curtains to elevate the performance experience a bit more. It all came together to create something fun & memorable for everybody in the space. :)
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Ask yourself:
Is the teacher listening for and balancing my long-term needs & short-term wants? Can they shine light on an area that needs more exploring, on a weekly basis? Am I having fun & smiling & having 'aha' moments frequently? Am I improving while still having fun?
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Am I playing an instrument that suits me? in my preferred style? with and for the right audience? in a space & environment that supports my musical needs & likes?
how much time am I willing to commit to mastering my craft? (because this doesn't happen overnight. We are looking for relationships of 1-5years with students who want to completely transform their playing and experience of music).
Am I playing just for the fun of it, or do I want to pursue this as a side-hustle? ...as a career? ...or for the greater good of the community even?
Lots to unpack here... but let's chat today to see if we're a good fit for you!
