About
We are a full School of Fine Arts. We offer not just lessons but the opportunity for students to perform and reach the goals they desire to reach. They can cross over from one Academy to the next at no extra cost.
Our Academies are: Music, Theater, Film, Dance, Visual Arts and Life Skills
We have several performance events each year. We have 9 teachers with experience in many fields of expertise.
We also have several get togethers where our students can meet other students and build a community of learning.
We teach the following subjects:
Piano, Guitar, Voice, Drums, Acting, Song Writing, Script writing, Directing, Audition Prep, Theater, Film, Video Editing, Videography, Photography, Sewing, Costume Design, Beginner Fashion, Dance, Drawing, Painting, Cooking, Baking and so much more.
I tell everyone my enjoyment comes when I see the look on my student's faces when they finally "GET IT". There is always that time when the lessons finally click for a student. I live for those times.
We have been established since 2013 here in the Clarksville Area. We have taught over 1800 students.
All of our teachers are background check and go through yearly trainings to keep them up to date on all required courses.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When beginning with a new student I always start with an assessment. I want to know what the student is capable of, what they may have learned in the past and what there goals are for learning.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have played and taught both as a novice as well as professionally for over 30 years. I was a Music Major in College as well as a double major in education and Youth ministry.
I have taken both traditional as well as non traditional lessons throughout the last 30 years and continue my education in various fields.
Currently I am also an Instructor's Teacher. I teach instructors on how to better their teaching methods.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure that the teacher is not only capable to teach at the level you are learning but even more so make sure they have been Verified as a safe teacher.
Myself and my teachers are Verified Safe Partners with the American School of Fine Arts. This is an organization created by both instructors and parents which certifies teachers to ensure they adhere to a common set of standards and codes of ethics. They also background and referral check their VERIFIED SAFE Members and Partners.
