“I’m writing on behalf of my son, Mike, who took a lessons with you in preparation for a high school production of the Broadway show “Grease”. He was glad to work with you and it must have helped(!) because they were nominated for a Paper Mill Rising Star Award! Not bad considering this was his first orchestra pit experience on guitar.” 

—Joan C.
