    About Mrs. Mandy M.

    (3)
    WHY MRS. M.? Because every child is a star at M. Music Stars Studio. Students will learn songs they love, not just songs the teacher loves. Students will be taught to improvise and be creative in addition to learning to read music and theory. Students will play in front of appreciative audiences, not just alone in their piano room. Students will learn from an enthusiastic, pro musician and experienced Elementary School Teacher who is excited about music and teaching, not from an old-fashioned piano teacher with a scowl on her face. Friendly, positive, personalized piano and voice instruction in the M. Music Stars Studio will help your child not just enjoy music as a child, but to love music for a lifetime. COMFY LESSONS! Lessons take place in a comfortable setting, at Mrs. M.'s home studio in Round Rock, near Greenlawn and Gattis School Road. Have you heard of those grumpy, geezerly piano teachers from the past that would rap students on the knuckles? Well, nothing could be further from that with Mrs. M.'s warm, friendly, and positive learning atmosphere. Each week, students are greeting by their smiling, enthusiastic teacher, and work to meet goals with positive reinforcement where students see their hard work pay off! Playing piano is FUN! KIDS ARE STARS! Every student is a star! It shouldn't just be sports participants who earn trophies and receive cheers-- musicians should too! M. Music Star Students have performance opportunities to showcase their hard work and joy of performance and to earn trophies at recitals and experience the joy from performing for senior homes and community events! Students are able to dress as stars and play piano and sing to appreciative crowds, while growing in confidence and sharpening their performance skills.

    "Take Mandy M's educational degree, add her extensive experience as a musician and as a music teacher, then mix in her love of children, and you've got the recipe for a wonderful experience in learning about piano and musical performance."

    "Mandy is a modern day Mary Poppins, bubbly with joy and enthusiasm and adept at engaging young musical minds. My daughter enjoyed her lessons and always looked forward to her instruction time. I only wish she still had her studio South because we have failed to find another teacher to measure up to the high standard she set!"
