    Practice Makes Progress-15+ Years Experience Teaching Piano to All Ages!

    I grew up with music in my soul. I put myself in any and all situations that would involve music or theater. I performed in multiple shows a year, sang in a number of choirs, wrote and recorded many songs, and just played piano and sang any chance I got! After college I decided to work in a school setting and realized it just wasn’t what I was looking for. I taught piano, voice and theater lessons for years, but in 2013 I started what I now call V. Altman Music and I’ve loved every minute of it! I am so grateful to have touched so many families lives with music and I look forward to many more years to come!
