Music Lessons in East Hampton, NY

Instruments: Voice

I believe one of the most important things in teaching is meeting the student where they are. It is vital to know a student and their strengths and weaknesses before giving them cookie-cutter assignments.

His instruction also helped Owen place in a state-wide competition for high school students.I cannot express how grateful we are to Filippo for his instruction.
