Dancing Fingers Studio

Helps shape a lifelong appreciation and enjoyment of music by playing a wide selection of musical repertoires, including classical music, pop, jazz and popular children’s songs. Well rounded instruction will include repertoire, technique, sight-reading, theory, ear training, composition and ensemble playing. My philosophy and my principal aim is to motivate, encourage and educate each student individually at their own pace to reach their highest level of learning and confidence.
