Rachel Hartgrove - Woodwinds

Marc Lilly - Piano Instructor
Marc is one of our newer instructors; he is rapidly building a positive reputation with his students and their parents. Marc is a is very good pianist as well as a good instructor.
I consider him to be a great asset to the Ballard School team.


Sue Hewett - Violin and Piano
When Sue joined the team in March of 2008, the violin program was struggling to get off the ground. She began by teaching voice and piano to suppliment her violin student roster. To date her violin program is one of the stongest disciplines here at our school!  What ever Sue teaches she does it with the passion of a musical artist and the patience of a saint! Sue recieved the 2009 teacher of the year award this year at Ballard School of the Arts! 


Erin Nelson - Introduction to voice
Erin is like a breath of fresh air! Along with her wonderfully trained voice, her personality is one that supports and encourages her students. Her introduction to voice class is filling up, so you'll want to come in and sign up soon!

Charlie Watson - Classical, Jazz, Blues Rock guitar
Charlie joined the Ballard team at the beginning of the 2009 fall season; he quickly began to win the hearts and trust of his students and their parents. Charlie really has a style of his own when teaching, and his students are responding very well. Charlie has the musical knowledge to pass on to his students just what they need to become musicians. If you want to meet an all around good guy and great instructor, ask for Charlie!

Joel Tolley - Bass and six string guitar
Joel came aboard when we opened the school in 2006. He has been an inspiration to me as well as many of the other instructors.  Joel is serious about his trade and has played with many famous musicians across the nation. Whether your choice is contemporary christian, rock, or jazz, Joel is the instructor for you!

Rob Hunter - guitar - voice
Rob is the founder and owner of Ballard School of the Performing Arts. He is a singer and has performed in many venues in various states across the country. One of Rob's most memorable performances was when he had the pleasure of performing with the Joan Hammel Band for our troops in Guantanamo Bay Cuba..."What an experience", says Rob.

At Ballard Street Rob is known as the motivator, he teaches beginning guitar but motivates his students to develop a love for music and their instrument. Introducing music of all types and styles to our children is Rob's quest!
