The power of the arts is like no other. It has the ability to inspire, to move, to heal and to connect us in ways that words may not. There is a special joy that comes with knowing that you have the opportunity to teach your children the importance of this language from a young age. It is a gift that will stay with them forever and be a part of their lives in the most meaningful of ways. At Garden Street, we strive to give children and their families the chance to explore and express themselves through music, dance, literature and art.

Our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for these young artists to grow and develop, and to continue to show our support and appreciation for the parents and caregivers who provide the support and guidance for their children's creativity.

Playing and teaching music is something that became a passion as I experienced the magic of live shows and the joy of teaching. I'm always happy to share the music I've created, and the knowledge I've gained as a musician over the years. Most everyone should be able to enjoy music, and learning might be easier than you think (especially with something like ukulele). Whether you are just starting, or you've been playing forever, we can explore music together.
