Private Music Study

2019 – Present

Private Student — Voice, Piano, Guitar & Ukulele

Independent of her public-school chorus and theater work, Brennan has studied privately since 2019 — starting with ukulele, then adding voice, piano, and guitar. Voice has been her longest-running focus and remains her strongest instrument.

Teaches private voice and piano lessons out of a dedicated home lesson space, managing her own scheduling, lesson planning, and family communication.
