What people think about Potter's Piano & Vocal  Studio
Mrs. Potter’s warm smile and bubbly personality helps kids become excited about music.  She keeps the lessons fun!  My son appreciates the little reward incentives (like free pizza) too.  She offers numerous opportunities for them to perform throughout the year, which helps build self-confidence.

We really enjoy Potters Piano and Voice Studio.  Lori understands that all children's tastes and goals are different and adapts her program to meet those needs.  She has a positive and fun approach to teaching and we really enjoy her bubbly personality.

“I like Mrs. Potter’s teaching style because of her constant encouragement and helpful attitude.  She is always energetic and gives me many choices dealing with piano songs and chances to play at church.  She is being a great teacher and is helping me get better.”

Our daughter, Caylea is in her third year with Mrs. Potter.  She practices and performs in recitals with no need of persuasion on our part.  Caylea responds to Mrs. Potter's style of teaching and motivating through contests and prizes.  We brought Caylea's books and music from a previous teacher and we appreciated the flexibility and allowance of the students to direct their own goals.  We have seen Caylea grow in confidence and skill through Lori Potter's gentle encouragement.
