Testimonials

“We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful instruction you give our son. You are encouraging, patient, and talented, with an amazing ability to meet and connect with your students where they are!”

“With Lisa, my child has grown to love music. Lisa was able to connect with my shy daughter easily and patiently, and music has now become a fun and integral part of her life. I am so impressed by Lisa’s skill, as well as how flexible she has been in these uncertain times. We are so grateful for her.”

“Our daughter loves flute lessons with Lisa! My husband and I both have extensive music training. We wanted a teacher that would give our daughter rigorous, challenging instruction while also keeping her engaged and having fun. This is why Lisa is the right teacher for our daughter. Her deep knowledge of music and expert teaching skills are evident in each lesson. Lisa has kept our daughter interested, and helped her develop her technique and musicianship. She carefully picks music that our daughter enjoys, and that challenges her to keep making progress. Perhaps most importantly, Lisa is always encouraging our daughter to think about the important role music plays in our lives and our society.”

“Thank you for finding a way to make lessons happen during this time [of the pandemic]. My daughter was bouncing with happiness after today’s lesson and I so appreciate you showing up in this way and continuing to touch the lives of our kiddos. We’re very grateful.”

“My daughter enjoys her lessons with Lisa, because Lisa is very positive in her approach to teaching. She listens to and connects with my 12-year-old daughter. My daughter also enjoys playing pieces that aren’t just her normal band pieces. She has improved so much in just one year with Lisa!”

“Lisa really tailors the lessons to her students and helps them discover the joy of music, no matter what avenue she has to take to get there! I love how she uses the versatility of the electric keyboard and recording software to teach and encourage creativity. While the quarantine makes it challenging to take lessons, Lisa is continuing lessons through FaceTime to maximum benefit.”

“My daughter has been taking flute lessons with Lisa for a few years now and really enjoys going to them. Lisa has a great way of connecting with her. My daughter has come a long way since she first picked up the flute and we owe it all to Lisa.”

“We have been with Lisa for a few years now and she is simply a blessing. My son loves that she gives him the ability to choose his own style and pace. Her calming demeanor and positive attitude is a gift and I’ve loved listening to lessons on FaceTime the last few weeks myself. I recommend her to any friend that asks for a teacher. We are so lucky to have her just down the street!”

“While notes, rhythms, and theory are obviously important, I appreciate how Lisa pushes beyond the basics to emphasize the importance of musicality and telling a story with music. Lisa interacts so well with my two very different children, guiding them each in a way that suits them best. We all enjoy Lisa’s fun personality and laid-back style, and my kids love the choices they’re given in choosing new pieces and recording their music.”

“[Since the COVID-19 crisis started], over the last few weeks I have had the opportunity so listen in on my daughter’s virtual flute lessons. The transition from in-person to virtual lessons has been seamless. Lisa uses technology well and is able to give feedback on technique very well. Lisa’s positive energy and support is constant. My daughter continues to achieve and thrive musically through her lessons.”
