Teacher Spotlight
Jami, native to the Broomall area, makes us proud to have her aboard our Musical ship.
A bit of a Broadway buff, Jami also brings her pop/rock, blues and classical training in when called upon. Her light hearted nature makes her easy to take criticism from, and you will get the essentials.......breathing techniques, intonation and repertoire needed.
You can catch Jami at Mrs. Marty's on Thursday evenings or with the Pops singing her little heart out. Whether you wish to be humiliated on American Idol or sing in a band, Jami will take you on the best path.
See what all the buzz is about. Jami instructs on Wednesdays and Fridays in Broomall.
