“What sets Nona Lisa apart is not just her musical talent, but the way she connects with students. She is fun, loving, and full of energy, and always goes above and beyond to create a positive and inclusive environment for every child."  H. Guthrie

      "Nona Lisa consistently brought an extraordinary level of energy, creativity, and professionalism to her music classes. Each     time she entered our classroom, she immediately captured the attention of every child with her warm presence and engaging teaching style. Her lessons were not only educational but also deeply enjoyable for the children, who eagerly looked forward to her weekly visits.

She demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt her instruction to the developmental level of the students, incorporating songs, movement, and rhythm in ways that supported both their musical growth and overall cognitive development. Her classroom management skills were exceptional, and she always maintained a respectful and joyful learning environment.

As an assistant teacher, I had the opportunity to closely observe her interactions with the children. Her patience, enthusiasm, and genuine care for each student made a lasting impression on me. It is clear that she is passionate about her work and truly gifted in connecting with young learners through music."  A. Acosta

    "Lisa has an amazing gift for really hearing where a singer is at, and then gently guiding them to stretch beyond what they thought they could do, while still staying true to their own voice. My daughters confidence and range have grown so much under her coaching, and it’s all because she meets you exactly where you are and helps your child bloom from there. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!!" R. Rose

My daughter Mallory, has seen so much improvement since she began working with Ms Lisa. Her voice is stronger and louder than it has ever been!  Thank you Nona Lisa for your dedication to my budding vocalist! ❤️

‘Momma Lisa’ earns that title every day when she’s teaching. As a former student, I had the blessing of being taught and led by her. I’m 30 now, an Actor and Singer, and I still use warm-ups and singing techniques that she taught me when I was 17. I was privileged to be a part of musicals where I got to witness Lisa lovingly direct groups of 30+ children at a time - myself included! She always provided an atmosphere of trust, comfort, and excitement! If you’re looking for a ‘Momma’ away from mom, a seasoned, trusted teacher, and a reliable pillar of a community, you’ll be blessed by choosing her. A. Rosario
