Never Miss a Beat: Music Education During COVID


What better time than today to start learning an instrument. Studying music with an experienced teaching artist creates an individually designed approach for every student's needs. Establishing good practice techniques as well as assuring that the beginner is equipped with the tools to approach their instrument with the proper physical set up, leads to certain success!
