TakeLessons Hires Berklee Graduate Ready to Rock the Sarasota Music Teacher Roster

Online, November 9, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The 2011 Country Music Awards took place last night, and Taylor Swift brought home the Entertainer of the Year award. As a small-town girl who began her career with karaoke contests and several rejections from major labels, the award is a testament to Swift's hard work throughout the years to get to this point.

TakeLessons (http://takelessons.com), the nation's fastest growing private music lessons provider, has been helping students of all ages reach their musical goals, starting with that perfect private lessons teacher. Recently, TakeLessons added Sarasota teacher Elizabeth F. to its growing roster of certified instructors. She will be available to teach piano, singing, clarinet, flute, saxophone, trumpet and trombone to students of all ages and all experience levels.

Elizabeth will be an excellent addition to the TakeLessons program, all of whom complete a 7-step certification process to ensure students receive lessons from safe, experienced and friendly instructors.

After receiving her Bachelor's degree in Music Education from the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Elizabeth went on to teach home schooled children across Connecticut, and continued on to a public school in urban Bridgeport, CT. Since settling in Sarasota, FL, Elizabeth worked as the Director of Music at Sarasota School of Arts and Sciences, and is now focusing her time and efforts on her private music studio.

"My mission is to help students of all ages reach their musical potential," said new teacher Elizabeth. "My passion, love and excitement for music will motivate and encourage you as you pursue your musical goals."

Since its launch in 2006, TakeLessons has helped students pursue their passion for music by offering over 35 types of private music lessons that are taught by some of the nation's most talented local music instructors. The program offers a comprehensive user experience, with personal online accounts to track goals, progress, scheduling and billing all in one place.

The addition of TakeLessons music teachers in the Sarasota area and other cities such as Clearwater, Tampa and Orlando builds upon TakeLessons' emerging presence throughout the state of Florida. TakeLessons offers private music lessons to thousands of students in over 2,800 cities across the United States. Other major markets such as the Nashville and Austin music teacher rosters have expanded recently, as well.
