From A Long-time Groove Musician/Class Leader: My whole time at Groove was truly memorable and some of my most-loved years professionally. There I learned to play guitar, I learned what joy and awe looks like on hundreds of young faces. I will always feel grateful to whatever inspiration it was that prompted me to answer the ad for groovy toddler music teacher. My time at Groove allowed me to meet some of the most talented and generous people I have ever had the privilege to know.
