Paula Dine
Director, Legato School of Music
Electric Guitar / Acoustic Guitar
Paula started playing guitar at age 5 and by 5th grade played with a high school orchestra in a large production. By the time she reached middle school, band members from the high school orchestra had formed a rock and roll band and she joined as their lead guitarist and vocalist playing at fairs and festivals.
Already gigging semi-professionally out of high school, she attended Southwest Missouri State University with a declared music major with an emphasis on classical guitar soloing. She left college shortly before graduating to go on the road with a heavy metal band and has played with numerous artists both on the road and in the studio as a session player.
Sandie Hintz
Piano
Sandie’s passion is teaching piano to children and adults.
She has a BAE in music, with emphasis in piano and has worked in local school districts helping students and choirs prepare for vocal contests. She instructs beginners to intermediate and has played in various cover bands and on church praise teams.
Sandie believes everyone can benefit from playing music, and the learning process should be fun and stress free. Call the staff at Legato School of Music to learn more!
