Testimonials

"Stacey has been able to put me at ease and “meet me where I’m at” in my learning process. She is genuinely interested in my progress and shows a keen ability to share her comprehensive knowledge of both theory and the instrument to help me move forward with my goals. I am truly enjoying the entire experience — I feel extremely fortunate to have Stacey as my teacher and guide."
"My music theory classes have helped me immensely. Before I started taking theory I was exposed to music theory in a disjointed, complex language that made no sense. Now my music theory has a solid foundation with new concepts built logically on that foundation. The instructor is fun and generous with her time. She provides corrective feedback when necessary and answers all questions with great thought and care."
