hey, welcome. let’s get creative.
Here in my coastal Maine Studio — in Portland and online — I offer music and songwriting lessons, Creative Focus sessions, and community music programs.
My mission is to encourage creative expression, deepen connections, and support wellbeing across the lifespan.
Engaging in music can reduce stress, boost memory and brain health, support parent-child bonding, and increase confidence and resilience. Whatever brings you here, I’m honored to support you.
Cheers,
Sorcha
