We offer music lessons for students of all ages and abilities, from beginners to very advanced students. We offer every style of lessons from classical to jazz and pop.
Develops Creativity & Imagination Power
Every art form compels you to create with your imagination. The same is the case with music. You develop your ability to think beyond the realities in front of you. Your problem-solving techniques become more innovative and experimental.
Improves Intellect & Memory Power
You need to recognize different lyrics, tones, and sounds. Thus, in the process of learning music, you enhance your reasoning skills, phonetics, and knowledge of the language. Learning all this new information and remembering them naturally sharpens your memory and intellect.
Teaches the Value of Discipline
Increased discipline & persistence is one of the major benefits of music learning, especially for kids. They become more aware of the importance of attending lessons and practicing. It takes time to master the art of music. When you patiently wait to grasp the correct note and tune, it leads to increase in your persistence.

About Jazlyn Dingfelder
I started attending Theatre Young Harris in 2017 – being one of the strongest performance programs in the southeast – and added techniques, principles, and etiquette to my tool belt that has served me well in the professional world.
Being equally trained in Dance, Theatrical Performance, and Vocal Performance, Young Harris provided optimal opportunities for me to learn through hands-on experience. In my 4 years at Young Harris, I had the privilege of performing in 7 shows. I graduated with my BFA in Musical Theatre in 2021, taking my place in the 75% employment placement rate that Young Harris boasts. On the day of undergrad graduation, itself, I was on a plane across the country to perform in my first professional contract.
I am happy to be a Beginner/Advanced Vocal instructor at KIO along with Dance, and Drama/Theatre.
