Our Teaching Staff:
Sharon Marrell - Woodwinds, Piano and Orchestral Instruments
Sharon has been teaching for over 35 years. She has a bachelor of Music in Music Performance with a specialty in Woodwinds. She also teaches beginning orchestra instruments.
Incentives for the kids are also provided. They earn points by picking their best song or exercise and playing it well; amount of time practiced; fun sheets; and answering various music questions. Once they fill a sticker sheet they can pick a prize from the prize box (the whoopee cushion is a favorite!). This has been a very successful program that motivates the kids to practice and have fun playing.
