We love Ms. Shelley! This is my daughter’s second year with her. She is always so patient and accommodating. My daughter loves her enthusiasm and the way she makes her flute lessons fun but challenging..

I began lessons with Miss Martin when I was in high school. I wanted to make the all-state band. My parents were struggling already to pay for my piano lessons, but one of my dad‘s friends had recommended her for me. Yes I was able to make the all-state band after studying with Miss Martin, but I got so much more from my lessons with her. When we say that studying music is life long learning, it really is just that. I went on to be a music teacher myself and still today enjoy practicing the way I learned in my lessons with Miss Martin. I am honored to pass those same techniques to my students

Ms. Martin knows how to teach music!! In three months, I grew from a complete beginner with absolutely no piano experience, into a person who could comfortably play several basic scales, a variety of simple tunes, and a few more complex pieces. I even performed with her other students at a recital, something I never knew I was capable of doing! She has a professional and clean atmosphere with a wash station for clean fingers, and teaches alongside you for maximum comprehension. Ms. Martin makes learning music fun, and will make sure you leave with skills that advance all levels of musicianship. 10/10!.

“Ms. Martin is a very knowledgeable teacher and helps her students achieve great results musically. She helps learners to connect with music on a deeper level and really "dig in" to the music. Her teaching style is unique, quirky, exciting and engaging. No boring lessons here!"

I had the pleasure of working with some of Shelley’s flute students at the university level when she was on sabbatical for a semester. Her methodology and expertise were evident in the way her students approached their practice sessions and performed their literature.

I first took a flute lesson with Ms. Martin while attending junior high band camp. During my junior high and high school years, Ms. Martin helped me make sure I was prepared for chair tests, All-Region and All-State auditions, and college auditions. She helped instill a sense of accomplishment, work ethic, and love for music that I carry with me to this day. Lessons with Ms. Martin formed me as a student musician and the things learned in her music room carried over to my undergraduate and graduate studios and my own music classroom as an adult. Ms. Martin is one of the main reasons I became a music teacher! My time with her as a student was so valuable and I’m so thankful I can count her my teacher and my friend!
