WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THEIR LESSONS!:
“Appreciate you checking in on us. Both the girls absolutely loved the teacher and the experience. Thank you!”
-Brett Gopal, Okemos, MI 9/29/2023
“THE BEST!! They are both so incredibly talented and amazing teachers. We are so happy to have found them 😁 ”
-Jenifer Gerlach, Mason, MI 9/22/2023
“ Weston’s 1st drum lesson went great. I went in with him and Geoff. Weston thought he might be uncomfortable without me. 10 minutes in, he told me I could wait in the waiting room. Having a teacher you like and are comfortable with, I think, is very important, especially when you’re just starting out. I look forward to seeing you next week…”
-Jennifer Lounsberry, Mason, MI 9/14/2023
“My son has improved tremendously in his violin lessons with Ally as his teacher!”
-Steven Smith, Okemos, MI 9/9/2023
“My son is really enjoying his piano lessons; it’s making him very happy!”
-Kirtimaan Mohan, Okemos, MI 9/9/2023
