Why take lessons with Sweet Notes?

• You want a teacher with quality, experience, and proper training.  This encompasses college degrees in music, expertise in their instruments, proper technique, training and experience as a teacher, and continuing education.
• Sweet Notes wants every student to be able to go from beginner to very advanced here.  Too often unqualified teachers and teachers who can’t teach past a certain level cause limits and frustration for students.  It also makes it difficult to continue when you have to find a new teacher.
• The most important reason to take music lessons is that they are fun, stimulating, and enriching!  At Sweet Notes this is a priority.
• Music is a skill and a hobby that can last a lifetime.
• Music can help relieve stress.
• Students with private lessons advance faster in their school band or orchestra programs.
• Music students tend to have higher grades and do better in school.
• Studying music helps raise self-esteem and encourages creativity.
• All areas of the brain are stimulated in a way fewer other activities do.
• Students at Sweet Notes are taught to problem solve creatively and think for themselves about how and why to play a certain way.
• Students learn practice strategies to make practice more efficient and effective.
• Private lessons teach proper technique catered to each persons individual learning, making progress faster and easier.
• Music is a gift that anyone can enjoy.

Sweet Notes believes strongly in all of these things and actively encourages the benefits of music during instruction.  I love music and want to spread and share that passion with my students.
