Makaila Quigley - Voice

“Music students deserve a teacher committed to guiding, supporting and nurturing their learning and musical growth. I was lucky enough to have music teachers like this, and I am dedicated to being that kind of mentor for my students. I strive to walk with my students on their journey and help them discover that music is always playful, at times challenging and often transformative.”
