    About Georgiary B.

    5.0
    (1)
    You’ll be delighted with the music you can make! I have a Stanford B.A. in music with a piano performance concentration, and a Duke Ph.D. in musicology. I’ve been teaching children and adults music for over 30 years and I love every minute of it. Music connects us with our spiritual, creative and intellectual genius. I strive to facilitate the discovery process in my students. If you’ve had difficulty finding age-appropriate lessons for your preschool child, look no more. You will love the WunderKeys program. WunderKeys engages preschoolers right where they are. Then it steadily builds their skills, knowledge and confidence through fun, hands-on activities. I welcome students from age 3 to 99, and would love the opportunity to embark on this musical adventure with you and/or your child.
