Now registering for Fall 2026!
The Fall / Winter Semester will run from September 8 - December 23.
If you are a new student, please fill out the waitlist form and I will be in touch with any available times I may have for you. I am happy to schedule a trial lesson in advance of any openings in my schedule.
Lessons with Ms. Catherine are…
