Play Music
Before starting at Play Music with Zaneta, my son had tried private music lessons with three other well-trained teachers. Nothing had stuck and we were eager to find someone he would click with. From the moment Zaneta came over to our house, we knew we had a gem. Her calm, kind approach, her enthusiasm, her energy, her tolerance of the times when he might have been tired or hungry–all have made him love drumming and even at times practice! What we hear come from the room is laughter and music. Avery began with a practice drum pad and a djembe. Now he is using an electronic drum set at home and playing a real drum set in a band with a group of other boys his age. With Zaneta's guidance, at 11 years-old he had the courage to get up in front of 150 people at the Bitter End and play...

Sentiment Analysis
We love Play Music and Chris & Zaneta!
This is my son’s second year taking piano with Chris, and my daughter just started learning drums with Zaneta!
Chris is an incredibly thoughtful and patient teacher and really pays attention to what interests my kids and who they are so that they develop a love and appreciation for music on their own terms.
At the end of every lesson, Chris and Zaneta have their students jam with them, so that students learn to play with others and listen, but also so that they have a sense of freedom and fun in their playing.
I also love the gatherings that Chris and Zeneta put on to celebrate at the end of the year, as they are warm, wonderful, and community-minded events.
They are really great with kids, help them to develop a curiosity about music, and make it fun.
I also find Zaneta to be amazingly patient and unfazed when my son (who has ADHD) gets particularly wiggly or silly.
Lessons usually involve playing together in unison or improvising on different instruments, and there's a strong emphasis on feeling, body position, and intuition.
Zaneta and Chris are talented musicians and committed educators who know how to connect with their students.
It is a child-led approach that I as a parent find very rewarding in the sense that I get to see my children enjoying music so much.
