Teacher Spotlight
Piano instructor Jacqueline Riendeau!
This month's Teacher Spotlight is on our very talented piano instructor, Jacqueline Riendeau!
Jackie has been playing piano for a little over 12 years and "loves it!" One of her joys as a teacher is sharing her passion and knowledge for writing music and playing piano with her students.
She also has a background in singing and has sung in and accompanied several different choirs. This past fall Jackie was a contestant in the Texaco Country Showdown and went to state competition in Oregon, performing her own music.
Also on staff is Guitar and Bass instructor Ryan Gibler, Piano instructor Marie Danes, Drum instructor Michael Gourley, Vocal instructor Melissa Cavileer, and studio director and instructor Michelle Ward who teaches Guitar and Ukulele.

Need to Reschedule Your Lesson? Here's How...
Good News. Thanks to many of your awesome referrals our enrollment increased this summer!
This also means we need to manage scheduling more closely so that we don't double book new incoming students with ones that have asked their teacher for a reschedule. To avoid miscommunication and double-booking we are asking that:
We want our new students to enjoy the same quality experience when starting lessons as each of you did. By following this new system you will be helping a great deal as we continue to grow. |
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS you are asking!
How do I enroll for Fall Lessons? If you are already taking lessons this summer, DO NOTHING. You are ready to go! If you took the summer off, you just need to call us at 208-882-6733 and pick out your day/time for fall!
How do I know what days and times are available for lessons? Just call us! The openings change daily. If we are taking lessons for ONLY the summer, when do we need to submit our withdrawal form? August 15th is the LAST day to drop for August to be your last payment. If I took the summer off, when do I need to re-enroll for fall? By August 19 to get your preferred day and time! If I enroll in August, will my tuition be pro-rated, based on the lessons I receive? YES! If you’ve taken a break this summer, we can’t wait to have you back! |
