Margaret has taught voice and piano students in her own studio for years, but is excited to meet new students at LSMA. When it comes to teaching her students, the number one thing that she builds is a love of music! She believes that music should be fun and engaging and hopes to spark passion for this art form in each of her students. She teaches general musicianship and healthy technique to build confidence and comfortability in the student’s abilities. Margaret is so excited to join the LSMA team and looks forward to guiding new students on their musical journey!
