Gianna is 3.5 she is in the Mommy and me class. Her teacher is Miss Savanah. I love this class because it welcomes grandmothers too! Miss Savanah is a good instructor because she gives these little ones enough freedom to be themselves while getting them to learn. We love it!!

Chris Talley is an exceptional multi-instrumental talent and a wonderful, generous instructor! He is patient, sensitive to correct sequencing in lessons, and a great musician and singer!
