Private Lessons at Encore


​Love this place! I never knew I had any musical ability but I decided to take singing lessons at Encore, just for fun. Now I know I can hold a note and I’m improving with each week’s lesson!

- Danika Lewis, adult student
​

I learned to love my music practice, and the music homework is the most enjoyable I've ever had. I really love to play my instrument now.

- Lila B, 10 year old student
