My son is enjoying learning the sax with Danas help. We stared only wanting 5 lessons to give him a head start in 6th grade but he likes the lessons so much he will continue to take them through the whole school year.

Super fine and fun. I like the structured approach and especially the instruction on music theory - it answers the why questions on the lessons.

Dana is amazing. She teaches beginning guitar to my 9 yr old son ad 41 yr old husband. She is able to adjust her teaching style accordingly, and they both are learning very quickly. HIGHLY recommend.
