Musical Matters and Teaching Experience:

Mrs. Imrisek’s initial teaching studio experience began during her education at New
England Conservatory, teaching young students in the Boston area. Later, she was able to
give master classes and private lessons in Europe and Asia. After settling in Chattanooga
and Richmond, Donna had private studios in her home for many years until recently
moving to the Salisbury area where she is enrolling students in Musical Matters for
violin, piano and Kindermusik classes.

Through extensive research and teaching, Musical Matters has been developed to
enhance a student's life through the study of music. With an emphasis on reading music
and ear training, through games, songs and instruments, students are encouraged to
develop not only their own musical talent, but to discover the joy of music.
