The duo worked with us to custom tailor the perfect music for ceremony and cocktail hour for my best friend’s wedding. The communication leading up to the event was timely and thorough. They are very talented and would highly recommend/ hire again. Very reliable and passionate musicians.

My 9yo daughter really enjoys learning from Samantha, who brings positivity to every lesson. Samantha communicates w me as needed to provide tools and feedback. My daughter describes her lessons as follows: goes at a "good pace", they "speed up or slow down" as needed, and that Samantha really listens to her and lets her express her thoughts.

Samantha is just wonderful. She is incredibly patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I’ve been taking lessons with her for about a month and she is always right on time and always has such a positive attitude. Excellent teacher and human. Highly recommend.
