Lilly Newman

GUITAR & PIANO INSTRUCTOR

Lilly’s love of music began in kindergarten, inspired by a teacher who sang and played guitar. Today, she brings that same sense of possibility to her own students.

With bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Music Performance from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and over a decade of teaching private and group lessons, Lilly combines a supportive, structured approach with a genuine love of helping people grow.

Her performance experience spans solo recitals, chamber ensembles, musical theater, and jazz big band. Her focus in the studio is simple: strong fundamentals, growing confidence, and the joy of making music.
