Dr. McCain

You woke up a little musician in me this past fall!! Can't wati to grow in music these next few years….I think you are actually superwoman.

-Kat Williams

Dr. McCain is a truly inspiring musical mentor. I came to her with a weak sense of rhythm and I wasn’t really tuned in to hearing myself critically. She diagnosed my rhythm issues immediately and really helped me hone in on a practical way to solve it. Now I’m experiencing rhythm and pulse in my body and it’s made a huge difference. 

— Rose Murray

She pushes me to do my best and excel … even when I haven't believed in myself she always believes in me.  

— Marcus Browning

My entire musical outlook changed when I began my lessons with Dr. McCain. She opened up a new world for me of sound colors, nuances, and dimensions of tone. Our work together has transformed my playing.
