About
Julie Crotty-Guile, a poet, lyricist, music composer, classical singer, pianist, and teacher of music, English Literature, and humanities, together with her husband, Peter Guile, embrace the journey of education under the guidance of Wisdom, and Love.

Appreciation of the individual is the key to our success as we strive to create well rounded musicians who love to learn and who will contribute to our community.
Teaching philosophy
We encourage feeding the artist's spirit through affirmation and inspiration, enabling students to starve their inner-sabotage of competition & comparison, grounding themselves in a higher purpose of loving gratitude
Everyone has that sense of competition within them already, and they learn to deal with parts of themselves that say 'you're not good enough.' We emphasize the positive, transforming the negatives. I offer students space to find their own 'joyful energy' in each musical piece along the way.
Immersing students in music tailored to their tastes and talents allows them deeper appreciation of the art of writing, singing, playing, and understanding music theory, technique, and practice. In this way, Noteworthy Music®️ develops competent and confident lifelong learners, rather than anxious or obsessive musicians.
