Review by Carson
"My 11 year old daughter loved her first lesson with Heather for both guitar and voice. Although we weren't sure how the online lessons would work out, my
daughter was beaming after the first one excited to tell me all about it. It was important to us to find a guitar teacher with a warm, funny and personable personality to fit our daughter's personality awhile understanding how to communicate and educate her age range. It looks like that's exactly what we found. Heather was a great find."

"My daughter loves her! I've been with her for several months now and I don't have to tell her to practice! She actually wants to practice! Her voice class
es not only help her improve her singing but with her social skills. The things that she teaches my daughter she uses in school. My daughter is a quite type of person and was insecure in a lot of things. But since she started with Rosita I've noticed that she has been gaining confidence in herself and being a little bit more engaging. I know it is because of her! Also sometimes I bring my younger son of 6 and she has a little activity center in her home. There are arts and crafts and stuff for him to learn. She knows what she is doing and definitely prepared!"

Review by Joe
"I've had 5 lessons with Alex and have already seen incredible improvement. Alex's methodology is to teach lessons but taking a song you really would like
to learn, and walking you through the steps necessary to be playing it seamlessly and quickly. He throws in musical theory and other important elements of learning the instrument in there as well. I love that he always emails me a rundown of our lesson via email after the lesson so I can be reminded of things when practicing. He is extremely accommodating with his schedule, which I also really appreciate. Overall, it's been an incredibly enjoyable experience and I recommend Alex to anyone trying to learn!"

"Melaina is awesome!! If I didn't understand a technique she taught me, she would re-word it in many different ways to best fit my learning style. She is e
xtremely accommodating and takes into account how you as a student feel. She is also a terrific singer and definitely knows what she's doing!! Highly recommend!"

"Laurelanne is doing a fantastic job with my daughter's college audition prep! She is really helping her polish her vocal preparation and audition skills.
My daughter is very happy with everything Laurelanne has helped her with so far. I have no doubt that she will be more than ready for her auditions. Very happy to have found such a highly qualified instructor in our area."
