"Jared has such terrific enthusiasm, and brings that to each lesson. He really pushed my daughter to try new music types she wouldn't have normally looked
at, yet enjoyed playing. Highly recommend him!"

Review by Gene
"Ms. Lyons is a most engaging teacher. I took her Craftsy class -"improve your knitting." I quickly became engrossed in the subject. Even though I was knit
ting Continental style, the first section on English style helped me with my Continental knitting. Ms. Lyons explains how and more importantly (to many of us) why you do it this way.
I also found myself admiring her style of teaching. Having taught, I know how difficult it can be. I got a friend who doesn't knit (or crochet or anything similar) but who does teach, to watch for a bit. He said, she engaged me in the subject and I didn't even know the subject matter at all. I found that to be high praise.
This is a great class for improving your knitting and trying alternate methods and styles. I am extremely happy to have chosen this class. I am sure I will return to it again and again."
