Adrienne Fontenot

Louisville, KY (502) 262-2773 M

A student once said to me, “piano lets me show my emotions, but in music.” Lessons also promote self-sufficiency, poise, and confidence. I urge students to critique themselves honestly, acknowledge the things they do well, and push themselves. From their first lesson, students develop opinions, make informed choices, and voice questions they have in a safe place.
