Meet Our Founder:
- Rebecca Weber piano, voice, guitar, ukulele)
"Hello! My name is Rebecca, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to meet you and your student in the classroom! I hold a degree in Music Education from Toccoa Falls College, with a focus in piano and voice. Throughout high school and college, I was actively involved in a variety of musical ensembles, including chorus, Varsity Singers, piano accompaniment, concert band, jazz band, handbell choir, women’s ensemble, and musical theater. These experiences have deeply shaped my passion for music and teaching. Since 2008, I’ve been tutoring and teaching private music lessons, and I began my first full-time teaching role in 2012. I truly love what I do! Watching students grow in their musicianship—and seeing the pride and joy they experience when creating something beautiful—is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching students ages 3 to 18, in settings ranging from one-on-one lessons to large ensembles of over 100, traditional classroom sizes of 20–30, and small group sessions of 5–10. Outside the classroom, I’m a proud mom of three! My family and I enjoy playing board games, baking cookies, tossing a ball with our dogs, watching Disney movies, and hitting the road for fun adventures. Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with your child. I look forward to a wonderful year of music-making together!"
