    I had the honor of being instructed by Ms. Corey for two separate musical productions ("Beauty and the Beast" and "The Music Man"). Both experiences were very educational and she was able to create an impressive show out of minimal selection of resources. Ms. Corey has my highest recommendation.

    I have had Lisa for two years and three classes. I have had her for beginning orchestra, beginning choir, and intermediate choir. She is very organized and explains mistakes and things we are not understanding very well. Best of all, she makes everything fun!
