It was an absolute pleasure to team up with my friend and colleague, Dr. Quinton Morris, founder of The Key to Change, and his super talented students for an online master class. Everyone performed beautifully, and I had an amazing time! Thank you for sharing you talents with me. Keep up the great work!

Teo learned so much, not just about violin but also music theory, attention span, and consistency. I’m so happy with his progress on violin.

My daughter has worked with Chala Yancy for four years and she has blossomed as a violinist. She is an amazing teacher and role model.

Chala is great with kids and I love that she provides direct feedback for improvement. Nate has really grown and thrived with Chala's classes. At the age of 4, he can actually play!
