“Amabile School of Music has a team of amazing staff and teachers. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to pick up music again as an adult student after almost three decades – first taught by the extremely talented founder and director, Teresa, several years ago, and now taught by Dr. Dulais. Dr. Dulais is truly inspirational! No matter how challenging the piece was, he can always analyze it in a way that it’s so easy to understand and overcome. His great sense of humor and kind, encouraging words have always made the lesson so enjoyable, but went by so fast. This school year, with my own busy teaching schedule, the happiest time for me was to come to Amabile for the piano lesson. The piano lessons have helped me more focused and more organized in my own teaching. Both of my children “graduated” from Amabile, too. They took piano/violin and piano/clarinet for years, and now they both are active leaders at the school’s advanced band and advanced orchestra. Thank you very much, Amabile, for instilling music in our life.”
