Newly Remodeled Studio (late post!)

Back in December, we started teaching in our newly remodeled studio- yay! It took us several long months to convert the space into a fully functioning professional music studio. We're hoping this new space will optimize student learning by having a dedicated place for students to concentrate and learn. Lessons will still be given on our professional Baldwin grand piano and students can practice before/after lessons on our top of the line Arius digital piano.

Also a fun treat that we LOVE- a coffee and tea bar! Adults can enjoy a cut of hot coffee/tea while you wait.
