Mrs. Cathy Laizure’s philosophy: “I want to provide quality music education with proper technique. But, more importantly, I desire to build relationships with my students and help them succeed in music and life. At the same time, I want to have fun and offer a casual, relaxed environment where students can ask questions, make mistakes and learn from them all... And, lastly, make music an integral part of a lifetime.”
