A special Congrats to Richard and Sarah. Richard and Sarah are pictured with the MCCO Board President. They are this year’s recipients of the ​ MCCO scholarship.
Very happy to announce that my viola student, Cornelius was one of the winners of the Huntsville Music Study Club scholarship! It was a rigorous competition. Cornelius and I only had five days notice of the opportunity to get him prepped to audition with two pieces played from memory. We worked overtime and had an extra lesson but it all paid off!
Alexander, had the opportunity to participate in Huntsville Symphony’s masterclass with Tai Murray. He is 10 and was the youngest violinist to participate in the masterclass.

He was very professional and helpful. I recommend him to anyone looking to learn.

DeAndre is very patient and pleasant with my two daughters, who are looking forward to their next lesson. He is clearly a talented musician as well.

For the last year I have been taking piano, viola and violin lessons online with DeAndre. He is a natural, insightful teacher and I look forward to years of lessons with him. I would absolutely recommend him. I'm a beginner with the violin and viola and an intermediate pianist. I was doubtful at first that I would be able to learn through a video chat. I'm amazed at the detail DeAndre can pick up just by watching a video chat. There have been many times when we just did the lesson over the phone with no video and he was able to tell that my fingering hand was in the wrong position or I was holding the bow wrong just by listening over the phone! On and off through my life I've taken piano and viola lessons (I'm 46) and was never able to get very far. I found my teachers discouraged me in many ways without trying to. DeAndre has been fantastic. With his instruction I've been able to do things I never thought I would ever be able to do. He's excellent at giving feedback about the things I'm doing wrong but in a way that keeps me positive and makes me aware of the things I'm doing well and the things I need to improve. DeAndre is absolutely worth the time and money.
-Eric Oswald
DeAndre has been wonderful with my 8 yr old son. He's already learning so much more than he did with his previous teacher! And my son is very proud of his own progress!
