By the time the person in front of you leaves, your child washes hands, gets to the instrument, she chats and chats then finally... they start the lesson which is maybe a full 10 minutes, then they have 5 minutes of free time and have to check out and make another apt all within your half hour. .I feel like it is the biggest waste of time and money.

He looks at Ali and Warren like they are celebrities and is absolutely enthralled with them.

They created a warm, safe, loving environment for children and parents alike. I remember my son would run to them after every class and give them the biggest hugs. Their music is fun and rockin and listening to the CD's in the car (on repeat) was actually fun for the whole family.....we still sing some of the songs years later! I believe this early exposure to music is part of why Reed, now almost 8 years old, is studying the guitar and in choir at school. Such a wonderful foundation and a place to build community with like minded mamas and papas. I highly recommend for anyone with a young child or infant!

Francesca is an outstanding vocal instructor. To name some of her attributes: she is highly…read moreexperience, has mastery of the Bel Canto system of instruction and technique, an outstanding gift for teaching, a deep understanding of the proper use of the vocal instrument, and a passion for passing on the art of singing. The Bel Canto technique, as Francesca teaches it, trains your body to naturally enable the proper function of the vocal instrument. The voice will then produce its most beautiful sound, just like a fine tuned, and well maintained musical instrument will. Both the breathing exercises and the vocalizes are essential to the process and work together for this purpose. This system is dependable. It will keep the vocal instrument at its best. The voice will grow and reveal more and more of its beauty as the vocalizes and breathing exercises are practiced. I love that this system is straight forward and really works! Nevertheless, from my experience in having a teacher as excellent as Francesca, I can see that to achieve success a skillful teacher to teach the Bel Canto system is as essential as the system itself. Teaching Bel Canto is more than teaching vocal exercises, it's passing on wisdom. With Francesca I'm learning how to identify for myself when something is out of line and how to apply the knowledge she has passed on to me to think of the most natural solution. I knew singing shouldn't feel as hard as it did for me, but I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I always struggled with finding songs that "I could sing". My voice felt trapped, weight down and restricted like a prisoner in heavy chains confined to a tight cell. Oh how I wanted freedom for my voice! From my first lesson with Francesca I had the sense that "this was it". I was finally going to understand so many things about beautiful singing that had me puzzled for so long. When Francesca described to me what my voice would grow to be I was hopeful and skeptical at the same time for it seemed impossible. Now, singing feels easier than ever and I am singing songs I never would have seriously considered an option for me. I can now see how possible it is for my voice to grow into what I never even dreamed it could be.

Francesca has been such a gift in my life. I have been singing for many years and more recently…read morehave been suffering from vocal fatigue and just general discomfort from singing. I never like voice lessons. I always thought they were boring and I always felt like my throat was sore after them. I would get light headed, my ears would clog. Something definitely wasn't right. The first lesson with Francesca she said, "Here are the breathing exercises and the vocalizes, you have to do them everyday or you won't see results. " At first I was somewhat skeptical but also intrigued. I like to refer to her method of training as mouth pilates. She will get you to train your mouth and throat to do what it needs to do to allow your voice to gain it's strength and to allow it's beauty to shine through. I have been studying with her for about 7 months. And when I sing, I feel powerful, I hear colors I've never heard before and I am so excited to see what the future holds for my voice. Francesca is also one of my favorite people I have met in my life, she makes me laugh, she pushes me when I need it and I know she cares deeply about what she does and my journey as her student. I recommend her highly to any singer out there looking to improve their health and vocal ability and feel so lucky that I was able to find her so close to home.

The only reason I stopped was because I moved away to college. Liz is a true musician. She knows music and she knows how to teach. I was always impressed wih Liz's ability to make very complex music reachable. What I love so much about Liz is that she makes music personal. She asked what I was interested in and made sure that I got to learn the type of flute because that is what I was interested in. This is in contrast to some other music teachers I had when I played other instruments earlier in my life. I remember sometimes I would be tired from school or sports practice earlier, or maybe I had had a rough day, and would not want to go to my lesson. Of course I would go and not once did I regret it. I ALWAYS left lessons happy. Liz made music and lessons fun. She is truly invested in her students. She builds relationships with them. I graduated from college and a teacher myself now and I still talk to Liz to catch up because we are more than just student-teacher we are friends. I still think of Liz when I hear Christmas music or Flight of the Bumblebee. - Meg
