Hi Michelle,

My name is jessica Phillips, I grew up in Boston and love the scene there,
i am currently a student of ricardo morales in NY. Tom Martin is a
wonderful teacher, he deals with the more advanced students, Bill Wrzesien
is a great person, although not a fantastic teacher for more polished
players. At Boston U. you can study with Julie vaverka who is my former
main teacher, she was a student of Harold wright is a an absolutely
fantastic teacher. if you have any other questions feel free to ask - i
also have all of their phone numbers, the best way to decide is to talk to
them all in person!
