Why I work well with kids?
I have been a Youth Leader and interacted with youth more than half of my life. I have good rapport with them because I can talk with them on their level and I create a fun and creative atmosphere. I do the same with seniors as some can be young at heart.

“Lynette is simply fantastic. She makes the classes fun and interesting. My daughter loves her!”
Incredible is the right word. Lynette is an awesome person and teacher. I am really looking forward to continuig lessons with her.
Thanks,
Sheryl
The boys just finished their lesson with Lynnette. They thoroughly enjoyed it. She has high expectations and was patient with both boys. She is challenging both of them as they both think they are already experts. AND she gave both of them homework! I do want to continue with her.

Hi Bhagwan,
Thanks for checking in. I think the first lesson went well. My son said that he liked Ms. Booker and would recommend her to other kids, so that’s good to hear.

Bhagwan,
Yes, all seems to have gone well and I had to sit down at home when I arrived and listen to Natalya’s first recital. I was impressed that after only one class she played very nicely “baba black sheep” with rhythm and gusto
All good so far
Best
Luis
