Piano Lessons for Singers with Brandy Irish

These private lessons are designed to help students become confident, self-sufficient musicians at the keyboard while singing. Students will learn how to accompany themselves using chord charts and lead sheets, develop strong listening skills to create stylistically appropriate accompaniments, and build accuracy and confidence in reading melody lines. These private lessons helps bridge the gap between singing confidently and playing, giving performers the tools they need to rehearse, perform, and collaborate with greater independence and musicality. 

Suzuki Violin Lessons

A positive, immersive approach to music-making for young beginners.

Beginning as early as age four, our Suzuki Violin Program uses Shinichi Suzuki’s world-renowned “Mother Tongue” approach. Students learn music much like learning a language – through listening, repetition, active parental involvement, and a supportive community. Using a shared repertoire that progresses from classic folk tunes to full concertos, students move at their own pace in a nurturing environment.
