What I witnessed when Joel realized that he could make music blew me away. It was as if he blossomed right before my eyes. A passion for music came alive. I have never seen him embrace anything with such abandon. Thank you Linda ....Kerry Chippeway

Linda and Dennis have been an amazing "addition" to our family in so many ways. They welcomed my children and I into their program and into their hearts right away. Our very first lesson felt like we'd been coming to them for years! They ispired us right from the start. Linda has an amazing way of being firm in what she expects of the students, but also having so much fun! We laugh at every lesson. I call her the "Mary Poppins" of music! I don't know how she does it, but she makes the students want to practice! I find myself saying "Stop playing the piano!! You have other things you have to do!" She is giving my children great skills that they can use for every aspect of their lives. The attitudes that she expects at lessons are carrying into our home life!
Also, as an adult student who has never taken a piano lesson before, she has encouraged me, inspired me, challenged me and never once have I felt like I wasn't able to learn! (although my brain hasn't worked this hard in years!)
My son has started taking guitar lessons with "Mr.D" and he is so kind, patient and gentle. Always encouraging my son to keep going even when his fingers hurt!
We have also just put our three year old into the Tiny Tots music class... I can't wait to see what she will learn!
I cannot imagine my family going anywhere else for music lessons and I hope that the friendship we are building with Linda and Dennis will last for many, many years!
