A Message from Christina Puhacz, Principal Teacher, and Studio Owner

I believe that music nourishes the soul.  In my own life, I have found that the day is always a better one when I can sit down and play something touching and beautiful. Playing the piano offers a means of expression at those times when words simply are not enough.  I have the desire to make a difference in the lives of my students by encouraging a lifelong love of music of all kinds and showing them how music can nourish their souls.
