Angela offers violin, guitar, and piano lessons for students ages 6 and up at her home studio in Wake Forest, NC.

Lesson times: Monday-Friday 2:00 PM-7:00 PM. Please check the lesson schedule for open time slots.
Please note: Angela has dogs and cats who often visit the studio; therefore, she cannot accommodate students with pet allergies or fears.
