The Wheeler family loves Potomac Music and has enjoyed watching the program grow and provide music opportunities for children and adults in the NoVa area. Music education has always been a priority for our family and we love Annie! In addition to being kind and patient, she pushes both kids just hard enough to help them grow and succeed with their instruments while keeping it fun!
