Our family loves MusicMaker Arts Center! My 2 daugthers (8 and 10 years old) have been attending for a year now and we couldn't be happier with our experience. We had been at another great music school prior to here, but this one is TOP NOTCH. The learning experience is the whole package, including a heavy emphasis on music theory to deeply understand the language that is music. We have the opportunity for multiple recitals per year, plus music theory exams, National Guild assessments, studio-run musicals and performances, group lessons, family days and so much more. I really can't recommend them more!

MusicMaker is a gem of a music studio. Jennea and her team are kind, patient and take the time to get to know each child in order to bring out their best musical abilities. My children have enjoyed both piano and voice lessons, and we always recommend them to other families interested in music. We are grateful to have found a forever music home at MusicMaker where my children have truly found the joy in making music!

Jennea Potter at MusicMaker is an absolutely amazing piano teacher! She has a special gift for connecting with kids and making music both fun and engaging. My son has grown so much under her guidance, not only in his piano skills, but also in his confidence and love for music. Her lessons are very thorough, incorporating both piano technique and music theory, ensuring a well-rounded musical education.

Jennea also goes above and beyond by hosting many events, giving students wonderful opportunities to showcase their progress and gain performance experience. She is patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable, tailoring lessons to keep students both challenged and excited to learn. We feel so lucky to have found her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic music teacher!
