Why Presto?
In Presto classes, kids learn from and inspire each other all while having a great time. Kids in Presto want to come to lessons. More than just piano lessons, our students learn music history, classical music, sight singing, ear training, and music theory. We are building complete musicians, rather than just pianists, so our students can accompany themselves, sing in harmony, transpose, compose, and excel in any music endeavor. Group lessons provide peer interaction and opportunities for games! They also foster a constant feeling of accountability since the pre-adolescent age group generally wants to perform well for their peers. As they progress and develop good practicing habits, it becomes a challenge and a pleasure rather than a chore.

Clara McDonald
My passion is music education. I have 25 years of combined private and classroom teaching experience and a B.A. in Music Education. I have directed, accompanied, and participated in choirs, bands, orchestras, worship teams, and handbell choirs. Over the years I have played for recitals, weddings, funerals, art shows, recordings, accompanied vocalists, given solo recitals, adjudicated competitions, and worked as the administrator for a conservatory of arts program. I opened Infusing Music Studios in 2015 where I teach private piano and flute lessons as well as rent space to other teachers of various instruments. We serve over 100 students each week from the Flagstaff and surrounding communities.
In addition to making music of all kinds I enjoy running, cooking, knitting, the outdoors, homeschooling, cultivating friendships, watching movies, and traveling. (Oh, and did I mention that I like chocolate?) I would love to help your child discover the amazing world of music! |
