Bio
Cliff Black
I've know Gwen for over 30 plus years through my teens as my choir director and a close friend. Gwen is one of the most dedicated music teacher and instructor I've been associated with over the years in business. To this day I still consider Gwen as close family friend.
Brett Tomlinson
Gwen is an expert organ and piano teacher, with the ability to teach students at all levels. She has a deep knowledge of music theory and music history. Her teaching style is serious but not strict, fun but not flippant. Gwen has an infectious enthusiasm for music, whether she is teaching, learning a new piece, performing, or organizing musical events. I strongly recommend her for all students of organ and piano.
