Greg and Sharon Gould
Greg and Sharon have set out to create an unparalleled environment of music education. Focusing on a "hands on" approach, they strive to develop every student based on their individual needs. This is only possible through direct and constant communication with the students, the families, and all of the instructors. The company is more like a family than a business to the Gould's and nothing is more important than a positive, well run-working environment where everyone feels appreciated for their contributions. Fostering and developing every instructor's talents is the main way that they are able to help every instructor do the same for their students.

Director of Outbound Programs - Primary Strings InstructorAlyssa has been playing music since the age of five and through her interest she has learned to play and love many instruments. She began by playing piano and then broadened her sights to cello, violin, flute, and guitar.

Alyssa went on to develop her own cello studio where she worked with Southwestern City Schools and Pickerington Local Schools. She also began working with toddler groups at her church and instructed young children at the YWCA.
In 2011, Alyssa joined GnG Music Instruction and began teaching in local homes and at the New Albany studio. Her knowledge of music and love for children were able to be combined in the Outbound Programs at several local daycares and early learning centers. Alyssa helped pioneer the Outbound Program, working with several local facilities and offering supplemental music classes for their preschool and early elementary classes. Making music a fun experience for all ages is her goal!
