TEACHER SPOTLIGHT

Colleen Smirl

Colleen Smirl joined our staff of instructors over 5 years ago. She has proved to be an extremely popular teacher of piano, voice and flute. We are proud to have her with us! She started piano lessons as a child with Mr. Townsend and continued through high school. Colleen also took flute lessons at Townsend, and voice lessons at another school, since w did no offer voice at the time. (We do offer voice, now) She majored in Piano Performance at Webster University and graduated with honors. She is a virtuoso pianist, vocalist and flutist.

She also has the unique ability a teacher needs, as do all of our instructors, to connect with her students, whether they are children, teenagers and adults. Please contact us for lessons with Colleen Smirl.

Our staff of degreed (2 with Masters Degrees) and performing artist professionals is unparalleled.  We believe it is the finest staff of music teachers to be found anywhere.
