After just my first lesson with Julia my technical playing abilities improved significantly. As an experienced musician I was taken aback by the tools she gave me to unlock a further understanding of my instruments. Super nice, friendly and professional. I highly recommend Julia.

Julia Hensley provided guitar lessons to my son, via Zoom. Julia took the time to inquire about the music needs of my son, and was prompt and detailed in her response to ensure her lessons matched what we were looking for. She provided a number of options for lesson packages, and accommodated what we needed. She was friendly and approachable during her Zoom lessons, and my son had lots of fun and he said it was easy to follow along with her and felt he got something from each lesson. I would definitely recommend Julia for your music lesson needs.

I’m a guy in my mid-20s, and I always wanted to get better at singing so I took a couple lessons from Julia. The lessons were a lot of fun, and I noticed improvements right away with the tools and techniques she gave me! I wanted to learn how to sing higher because I found it difficult, and she helped me reach those notes in a way that felt easier and sounded better.

"Julia brings an impressive quality of presence and maturity to her musical instruction. She has an uncanny ability to provide such positive and supportive feedback to her students that it only ever feels like she is offering encouragement; it is only in hindsight and through experience that the subtlety of her corrections were shaping the learning experience all along."

"I played guitar and sang for a few years but was always unsatisfied with my singing.
I took a few voice lessons with Julia.
I learned a lot and had a wonderful time.
I am a better and more confident singer as a result."
