Services
Individual Lessons - All Instruments and Voice Each lesson is 30 minutes long and meets weekly. Hour lessons are available by special request. Lessons are ongoing and designed to meet the student's individual needs in performance, technique, and theory. If you have Skype, which is a free program, or Facebook Messenger on your computer, tablet, or phone, you can take lessons from Karen Simpson, or Mary Divers at the Music Clinic. This is a particularly good option if you live far away from the Music Clinic.

A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, she holds a degree in Music Education and has been a Board-Certified Music Therapist.

Maryam is an excellent piano teacher! She is extremely skilled and knowledgeable. I have learned so much from her in just a short time. For the first time I actually understand both the techniques and theory of what I am playing. My lessons with her are the highlight of my week. Karen is always very pleasant when I see her at a the Music Clinic and she is very helpful in answering any questions I have. I look forward to continuing my lessons!

My two boys took drums, trumpet, and piano lessons here. They enjoyed it greatly. Karen is a wonderful teacher, as well as an excellent music therapist. All of our experiences here were good ones.

Three of my four children took music lessons at the Music Clinic from Karen Simpson, as well as some of her other teachers over a period of about five years. We were consistently impressed with her patience, her teaching style, her positive encouragement and also her high standards for her students. All of our children have gone on to enjoy music and develop their ability to play music as they've grown.

The only reason we stopped taking lessons at the Music Clinic was that we moved out of state! I would highly recommend the Music Clinic and Karen Simpson for anyone seeking personal music instruction for their child (or as an adult!) in the Laconia area!
