Testimonials:
"Marcy, Thank you so much for your devotion and support with teaching
the kids.
You
have taught my children to love playing a musical instrument and for that I truly thank you!"
Janet
Kempton 2009
"A Prelude to the Classics is a music studio
that is beyond compare. My 9 year old son has been playing with Marcy for a year and a half and sounds like he has been playing
since he was two. Marcy is not only talented herself, but she has a natural way with people. Marcy knows how to read people
and speak to their personal abilities. My son is very intelligent, but she can communicate with him in ways that I cannot.
She knows how to "reign people in", and always keep it fun! When you cone to one of her lessons, her students always
have a smile on their faces! Joining A Prelude to the Classics with without a doubt one of the best decisions we have ever
made. We continue to watch our son flourish while he is having a ball!"

"Learning to play music was on my “bucket list”, so for my 60th birthday
I bought a keyboard. I started with the Easy Play method, but found progress slow. After just 3 months
of lessons with Marcy, I can read music and play scales, along with a wide range of chords. I now have the fundamentals needed
to make real progress. Marcy likes to challenge her students to move forward, but provides ample encouragement.
She makes learning fun, and is highly effective for students of all ages. "
Sam Swope 5/2010

show Amelia with all her lessons over all the years! She loves and adores you, and so do we! " Sheila (mother 5 year

shown Devin. It has been a pleasure getting to know you and we look forward to many more years of working with you..."
