“We’ve had an amazing experience with Christine. My daughter was desperate to play trumpet, but neither my husband nor I have any experience with brass instruments. Christine was knowledgeable and helpful; she provided guidance on renting/buying an instrument. My daughter took to her immediately, has been playing for the last year and doing great. Christine is fun, patient and an overall great teacher. I have recommended her to friends.
