Who is Carol Smith?
I enjoy teaching children and adults of all ages and levels. My curriculum includes technique, music theory, ear training, and performance opportunities. Although classical music is my specialty, students are exposed to many styles of music. I believe music should be a joyful experience. The curriculum is adapted to fit each student’s learning style and musical interest. Students have the opportunities to perform throughout the year in formal recitals, performance classes, and music festivals.
