TEACHER FEATURE Meet, Courtney Lemmon Courtney teaches piano and voice. ... Here’s a little bit more about her... How many years of experience do you have teaching? I’ve been teaching professionally for 12 years. What’s your favorite things about teaching? I love connecting to each one of my students and assisting in their journey to become better singers. Watching them reach their goals is truly rewarding for me as their coach and mentor. Sometimes the relationship is just a few months, and other times, I know I’ve made a life long connection. What inspires you? I truly find inspiration all around me, from the passionate people I love, from fellow musicians, and from movements and ideas that set out to make the world a better place. I believe that we, as a creative collective, must use our inspiration and our gifts to make a lasting impact on future generations. Share a fun fact about yourself. You might find me wearing a captains hat and jammin on the bongos as Cruise Director Courtney in the number one live yacht rock band @yachtybynature ! To sign up for lessons with Courtney visit our website (you can find the link in our bio) or call us and ask to speak to a lessons coordinator!
