My 10-year-old son used to get too nervous to sing solo. Canangela made it easy by starting with call-and-response games, gradually helping her feel more confident in the singing lessons they had.Now, she proudly opens our community music circle every month with a big smile at Fletcher Heights

Possessing mastery of traditional methods, Canangela also excels at engaging pedagogy. Our month-long exploration of Baroque embellishments was made accessible through her crafted drills, simplifying intricate designs.

My son used to struggle with focus, but something about these Piano lessons at Glenwood just clicks for her. They’re full of energy, keep her engaged, and she’s now playing simple songs with both hands something I didn’t think we’d see so soon. The progress has been genuinely amazing by Boyd Robertson
