FeaturedA New Song Music Lessons
Meet Sandy! Worship leader, gospel song writer, and music teacher. With a passionate yet patient approach, Sandy has been helping students find their musical voice since 2007. Having earned degrees in both music and humanities, she has taught hundreds of aspiring musicians from ages 5 to senior citizen. She specializes in beginning to intermediate instruction for Piano, Guitar, Voice, Bass, Ukulele, and Drums. Sandy’s teaching philosophy is deeply rooted in empathy.

Private Vocal Lessons - Voice lessons with Nicole at Performers Playhouse
I teach weekly private voice lessons grounded in vocal pedagogy. My approach is simple: everything it takes to sing is a muscle. So we train those muscles the way an athlete trains, building toward the strongest, most controlled, and best sound your voice can make. Learning doesn't stop when the lesson ends. Every student gets a private online portal where I upload their weekly exercises, vocal performance tracks, and audition repertoire. Students are expected to practice there four times a week between lessons, so real progress happens week over week. My training is rigorous, and it's also genuinely fun. When you combine joy with hard work, there's nothing you can't do, and that combination has carried past students to Broadway, Disney, and American Idol. Strong vocal technique pays off far beyond singing. The same skills that power a great performance help you present to executives in a conference room, preach from the pulpit, and carry confidence into everyday conversation.
The Reading & Math Clinic
The Reading & Math Clinic specializes in providing individualized reading and/or math intervention for struggling learners who are below grade level in these skills. We utilize LIPS with Seeing Stars support and Math U See curricula; both programs entail systematic, explicit, multi-sensory instruction for students who do not respond to traditional instructional methods. We have had significant success with learners of all backgrounds, including those with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, autism, ADHD, and speech and hearing deficits. To get started, schedule a free screening and consultation to determine if enrolling in our program is the right fit for you. Students typically attend 3-5x a week for 1-2 hour one-on-one lessons with our trained specialists. Lesson frequency varies based on individual need. Parents are debriefed after each lesson and provided with recommendations for home practice. Students also receive a homework folder to encourage home practice. Parents are always welcome to sit in on lessons to inform their home practice. Students often improve in one or more foundational reading skill by one or more grade level in the first 40 hours of treatment. Our reading program takes about 80-120 hours to complete overall. Students complete testing every 40-50 hours to provide parents with detailed progress updates and recommendations for next steps. We collaborate closely with parents to establish a graduation date once all skills are at or above grade level.
