In addition to his extensive experience teaching guitar and fretted instruments to people of all ages, Ed is expert at creating a fun, casual, and nurturing environment for students to learn at their own pace. Group playing sessions will be arranged for newer students to play simpler parts, while more advanced students will have the opportunity to try out more challenging parts, maybe even “laying down” some leads!

Little Folkies Piano and Violin, Infant and Toddler Class, and Creative Music for Special Needs Class

“Try as many different instruments as you can until you find the right one.

Aside from Suzanne’s amazing ability to communicate with children, she also has an uncanny sense for bonding with and teaching children with special needs. A few indications of this of this incredible quality that Suzanne possesses are the songs, smiles, and laughter that pour out of the Creative Music for Children with Special Needs classroom every Saturday morning.

A life long Beverly area resident, Suzanne has taught at World Music Company for 7 years. For Suzanne, music is more than a skill. She believes it is a gift that needs to be shared. And she feels that music is the key that can unlock educational opportunities for children who might find it challenging to learn in other ways.

One of her students cannot communicate in normal conversation. But he has learned to express his music through song.

A love of music can begin at any time. Suzanne believes that it’s never too late to take music lessons. No matter what style- classical or her own favorite, folk rock, people can learn to play because it is never too late to get gifts.

GUITAR, DRUMS, and PIANO

“You are never too old for anything you may take an interest in. Always go for it!”

Music has always been a part of Cheryl’s life, and she’s wanted to pass along her love for music since her days of musical education in college. Cheryl has learned that students need to be patient- and willing to be “bad” long enough to get good at their instrument.

Cheryl also leads the Girls Rock Band Class. “I’ve seen the challenges that young girls have growing in the rock world,” Cheryl says. “And I’ve always wanted to be part of helping young girls grow in the World of Rock ‘n’ Roll.”

A music teacher for nearly 5 years, Cheryl joined the World Music Company faculty in September of 2008. She says that she has been “amazed and inspired by how quickly my students pick things up.”
