"My son took violin lessons for about 10 months to prepare for Harrison School of the Arts auditions. Emily was very knowledgeable in what was needed and expected for the Harrison program. She really helped my son excel in his audition and we just received notice he was accepted. Highly recommend Lakeland School of Music."
