State of the Arts Setting & An Ideal Learning Experience
MUSIC MAKING involves the entire body, mind, heart and soul. Create a deep connecting bond between you and your inner self. Express YOURSELF! An awesome experience of feeling good about yourself, being in the moment, listening, and letting loose.
Claudia, a certified BCRMTA/CFMTA teacher and photographer, can inspire you to achieve your goals.Her parents gave her the wonderful gift of music and showed her the value of appreciating music throughout her life. She is delighted to share and pass on her knowledge and experience to others.
The Smith Creek Forest Musicians book was written by Claudia to help provide a wonderful introduction to discovering music. It is an innovative and effective beginners’ concept that can be used by people of all ages.
At the studio there is a large collection of CDs, DVDs, reference books, and sheet music in the library that Claudia has collected over time. The studio provides all activities, materials and resources with an open library card. The Forest Musicians book is the only book required ($25) to introduce her unique learning concepts and the original story behind the making of the curriculum.

Hi Claudia, every time I am near a piano, I think of you. You are one of the very few people in the world who has made a career out of doing something they absolutely love doing. Keep on inspiring your students.
