Music Clinic

Individual Lessons - All Instruments and Voice Each lesson is 30 minutes long and meets weekly. Hour lessons are available by special request. Lessons are ongoing and designed to meet the student's individual needs in performance, technique, and theory. If you have Skype, which is a free program, or Facebook Messenger on your computer, tablet, or phone, you can take lessons from Karen Simpson, or Mary Divers at the Music Clinic. This is a particularly good option if you live far away from the Music Clinic.

A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, she holds a degree in Music Education and has been a Board-Certified Music Therapist. She teaches voice, guitar, piano, violin, and many other instruments as well as theory, songwriting, and conducting.
