We are so excited to have a new guitar and ukulele instructor join our team at Elements! This means we will have more fun and encouraging music lessons for our wonderful music community!
Check out Noah Ward’s bio below:

Noah Ward is a music educator, guitarist, and composer from Cincinnati, Ohio. He started his career as a professional musician at Sinclair Community College, where he studied with Danny Voris. After earning his Associates in Music at Sinclair, Noah moved on to studying with Clare Callahan and Chris Wilke at the University of Cincinnati, where he earned both a Bachelors and Masters degree in classical guitar performance. He has participated in master classes with musicians such as Paul O’Dette, Cristiano Porqueddu, Oscar Ghiglia, and Frank Wallace.
Currently, Noah directs the classical guitar program at Sinclair Community College. He also teaches at Elements Music Studio and the Wyoming Fine Arts Center. In addition to teaching, Noah gigs occasionally and composes music for the guitar. In his free time, he enjoys coffee, discovering new music, and hiking with his fiancée. When teaching, Noah makes it a priority to identify each student’s interests and structures their lessons based on what they want to learn.

Here is his favorite music quote:
“It’s not the note you play that’s the wrong note – it’s the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong.” - Miles Davis

Student feature of the week:
“Why do you love music?”

“I find it pleasing to hear and play and it gives me a challenge. It is one of the many joys in life for young people to learn and play as they get older. It gives you something to listen to and something to challenge yourself with.”
- Norah (violin)

Instructor - Janice Adams

Thank you, Miss Reagan, for teaching the students vocal techniques and, “My Country ‘‘Tis of Thee” at our 4th of July Workshop. 🎆They had a great time! Our next workshop will be for Halloween! 💃🎶

Thank you, Mr. Brent, for teaching the students how to play the tin whistle at our 4th of July Workshop! It was a fun way for students to learn an introduction to woodwinds! 🪈🎆

We had the most wonderful 4th of July Music Workshop! 🎆
Students had the chance to learn the tin whistle with Brent Eresman, also learned, “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” with Reagan Whitmire, and they painted Tchaikovsky on homemade percussion instruments to learn about who wrote the 1812 Overture! What a great day of laughter, sparkles, and festivities! 🇺🇸🎆🇺🇸🎇

Thank you for such a kind review. Everyone feels like family to us, too! 🎶🪕🎼🎻
