Music Opportunities at The Andover Hub

Lessons for a variety of instruments

By Susan Chase

Several local music teachers are available to offer individual and group music lessons at The Andover Hub on a variety of instruments, currently including piano, violin, cello and the recorder.

Cathy Todd of New London is a seasoned music coach who uses the Suzuki Method to teach violin, cello and piano to people of any age.  While best known as a way to teach the violin, the Suzuki Method is also a successful approach to teaching other instruments, and is equally successful with adult or teen beginners as it is with pre-school and elementary learners.  Cathy is available for weekly private lessons and also hopes to develop twice-monthly group “jams” to convey the fun of playing in a group. She can be reached at 603-748-8488 or at c.todd.365.mail@nullgmail.com for more information.

Julie Love of Sunapee has taught private piano lessons for over 35 years, teaches all ages and all levels from beginners to advanced players, and focuses on developing music reading skills at the same time she trains students to learn by ear.  She is currently teaching “Music with Friends” at The Hub, a movement and music experience for small children and their caregivers. Julie can be reached at 603-320-8036 or at love.j@nullcomcast.net.

Helen Wickham of Andover is looking forward to teaching the recorder  to kids or adults, beginner or intermediate, in individual lessons or in a group, beginning this summer.  For information, to indicate your interest and to learn more about Helen’s enthusiasm for the recorder and how much fun it is to play, contact her at 603-848-1353 or at helens_email@nullyahoo.com.

The Andover Hub is open to all kinds of music and in whatever forms are of interest to area residents.  Anyone who might like a small space to offer music lessons of any kind, a large space to start a community chorus, or a place to offer a performance is encouraged to contact The Hub to describe what they’re looking for and what they might like to teach or help get organized.  The Hub can be reached at AndoverCommunitySpace@nullgmail.com or on Facebook at The Andover Hub.
