“My experience at the Musical Suite has been a joy. The three instructors with whom I have worked are all superbly talented musicians and, even more importantly, insightful and supportive teachers. This consistently high quality of musical education is a true testament to Nancy Hayes and the academy she has created.”

“Matt has evolved from a “twinkler” at five to chamber music, old-time fiddle, Irish, bluegrass, swing and jazz. He has been encouraged and nurtured through all of these musical interests from Kindergarten to high school. Now it’s Mom’s turn to develop her interests at The Musical Suite.”
