Student Reviews
As many are, I was very insecure about my singing ability. Liz created an environment where I felt comfortable making sounds that were usually reserved for the car or shower. She has a good ear to identify areas to improve and provides simple exercises to help. I would recommend Liz to anyone, young or old!
Zack Teacher: Liz J.About the Piano
Interestingly, composer Johann Sebastian Bach did not like the first piano he was introduced to in 1730, claiming that the higher notes were too soft to allow a full dynamic range. The criticism was apparently heeded by piano builders. Bach did approve of a later instrument he saw in 1747, and even served as an agent in selling certain builder's pianos.
