    About Holly D.

    Hi! My name is Holly, and I love music. I'm a classically trained conductor, and work with several choirs in the Boston area. I went to school at the New England Conservatory, where I got masters degrees in Choral Conducting and Music History. Mostly, my work focuses on Renaissance and modern classical vocal music. Last year, I conducted seven full programs worth of music at several venues throughout the greater Boston area, and sang in several more. I want to help you deepen your love for music, and develop your musical chops! Working together, we'll talk about what your goals are, and create a regular lesson schedule and plan to help you reach those goals! I have experience teaching a lot of specific fields within music, so send me a message if you're looking to learn: -conducting (beginner-advanced) -music theory and musicianship (beginner-advanced) -music history (beginner-advanced) -flute (beginner-intermediate) -piano (beginner) -keyboard harmony (beginner) Hope to hear from you!
