Lisa's Testimonials

“In the 6 years I've been taking cello lessons with Mrs. Shipman, she's been the perfect teacher. She's been patient and helpful. She's always explained techniques clearly. She's always been positive and encouraging, especially when I've had difficulties grasping a concept or mastering a piece. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding cello instructor.”

"I don't think I'd be as good as I am now without flute lessons from Lisa. She's been a great help and has improved my playing so much these past few years. She's super nice and friendly, a great choice for beginners, advanced musicians, and anywhere in between. =]"
