Our Teachers
The teachers of HEART Music are professional musicians living in and around Athens, GA. We teach because we are dedicated to sharing our love of music with aspiring musicians. Through group coaching and private instruction, students become familiar with music, their instrument and themselves, reaching accomplishments that make them proud, and encouraging them to go further in their studies, thus creating a cycle of success on stage, in the classroom and in life.
