***Mara is a great teacher and a wonderful singer! The class is so fun and musical. Without Mara I don't know what I would do. I've improved my voice so much that I can sing anywhere I want without any problems. Mara is the BEST! - Abby Avin, Age 10 - Voice Student.
***This is the best piano class ever! We learn new songs and new things. And Mara is an amazing teacher. - Ryker Taguiam, Age 9 - Piano Student.
***Mara is very nice and helpful. She is great at helping me get through hard songs. She doesn't give me too much homework, just a little so I will be good when it is class time. My stuff is not too advanced or too easy. Totally make her your teacher! - Sophie Stozier, Age 9 - Piano Student.
***The first thing about Mara is that she teaches really easy or really hard. All you have to do is ask her for easy or hard. For example, just last week I was working really hard, and now I'm working just right. And she not only teaches piano, she also teaches guitar and singing. She is the best piano teacher ever! - Aeneas Strozier, Age 7 - Piano Student.
Ashley is one of BMS's voice students. She is a very talented girl with a beautiful heart, and very dedicated to her passion! Here is an inspiring message from Ashley. May, 2015 - Voice Student - Hi. My name is Ashley DuKatz, age 10, and I am currently taking lessons with Mara every Friday. Bio - I have been singing and playing piano since I was 4. I was singing with an opera trainer and then switched to Mara. She is a very kind and open teacher. I love participating in her classes, because we warm up first, stretch and sing. I really like how I have a lot of freedom in what I would like to sing when I go to my private classes. I enjoy singing very much, because I can express myself and it's something I can do all the time. Other activities I enjoy include: Horseback Riding and Gymnastics. I also like to practice softball. Singing is on-top of that list and so is playing piano. Mara's classes are Perfect for me and they give me something to look forward to at the end of the week.
