Make your life a musical

Miss Mandy - Your Neighborhood Music Teacher

Singing and teaching are my passions!

 

I’ve studied music, theatre, and dance my whole childhood and adult life, and am delighted to give back through my teaching practice! My teaching approach is based in respect and curiosity. I both appreciate the creative spirit and still employ a critical eye when the situation calls for it.

 

Testimonials

“Mandy has been working with my 10-year-old daughter for one year now, and we absolutely love her teaching, her creativity and her passion for self-expression. We found Mandy after putting it out to the Universe that we were looking for the perfect teacher to support my daughters love of singing. Mandy showed up for the first session and my daughter has enjoyed every session with her. Mandy is genuine, talented, clear, knowledgeable, passionate, and committed. She is professional and is always a delight to connect with. We are so grateful to have Mandy be part of my daughters growth and self-expression. My daughter is more confident after her sessions with Mandy. Thank you, Mandy!”

“Mandy was such an inspiration for me. I asked her to help me understand chording and we had a few virtual lessons. Virtual lessons aren’t easy, but her personality came right through the FaceTime call. She is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable, I not only learned but enjoyed the learning process. Mandy makes learning fun!”

“Mandy has been providing piano lessons to my children for over six months. She does a great job teaching the basics to my seven-year-old who had very little prior instruction, as well as challenging my thirteen-year-old who has been taking lessons for over five years. Her selection of music for them to learn, as well as her teaching style, reflects her appreciation for their individual personalities and interests. I have also been impressed by her ability to seamlessly transition from in-person lessons to conducting the lessons virtually using Zoom so we could continue with the instruction and music journey during the Shelter in Place. We are grateful for Mandy for helping cultivate a love of music with our children and for her expertise.”
