It’s the little things 🫶🏻

The studio is moving to Durham, North Carolina!

After graduating with my masters degree from the University of Southern Maine, it was clear to my husband and I that we needed to move back to NC to be closer to our family and friends.

I will cherish my memories from Maine forever, and I am so excited for the next chapter and all the new students I will get to make music with!
