Edin has been teaching privately for the last ten years and absolutely loves it. At the Songbird Studio students are provided with a safe and welcoming environment to learn and grow. It is important for learning to take place in such an environment so that students are not only free to be themselves, but free to make mistakes and experiment with their instrument. Student interests and learning styles are always taken into account when planning lessons. In this studio students will have multiple opportunities to showcase their hard work and gain performance practice. Songbird studio will engage students in activities that require them to be creative, disciplined, flexible, and work cooperatively with others. Lessons offered are piano, voice, ukulele, and music theory. Due to the pandemic Songbird studio is offering virtual lessons and provides virtual recitals and oppourtunities.

Students will focus on building a solid foundation of technique, musicianship, sight-reading skills, theory, as well as becoming story-tellers through their music. Edin has a passion for teaching students of all ages, and creates a warm, positive environment in which her students can thrive and learn.
