Teacher & Owner
Jason Huneycutt has been teaching voice, piano and saxophone lessons for over fifteen years. He believes in a “people first” approach to teaching. Lessons are catered toward the needs of each student. No barriers–a student’s age, previous experience or musical style preference–exist to the student who truly wants to learn to play and perform a musical instrument. Jason hopes his passion for music spills over into every lesson and inspires his students toward their musical goals. For further information about Jason’s musical training and experience, please see below.
