In her free time, Hayley enjoys her newfound love of skateboarding, visiting skate parks near and far, and chillin' at home. Her favorite ice cream flavor is whatever has the most chocolate in it. She also believes firmly that pineapple belongs on pizza, however Peeps belong in the trash.
Aaron Lingelbach, Guitar
Orlando native Aaron Lingelbach has been teaching and performing professionally for over a decade. His curiosity for music can be traced to his grandma’s upright piano and his parents’ Lynyrd Skynyrd greatest hits CD. After learning clarinet and saxophone in grade school, he set his sights on the guitar. Several years and Metallica riffs later, he found himself at UCF where he would earn his BA and MM in guitar.
Since graduating, Aaron has been teaching private guitar lessons as well as performing on stages across Florida and in Puerto Rico. He’s been involved in numerous projects in from punk rock to big band jazz and everything in between. He currently plays in a party band, booking gigs all over Florida.
His lesson plans are uniquely designed specifically for the tastes, wants and needs of each individual student. Whether you’re striving to be the next great rock star, or want to strum a few chords of your favorite songs, he’ll set you on the path and nurture your musical growth.
In his free time, you can usually find Aaron practicing. On the off-chance that there isn’t a guitar in his hands, he’ll either be playing video games, chess or eating something involving peanut butter. You know how chocolate lovers get the word ‘Choco-holic?” Yeah, he’s whatever that word is, but for peanut butter.
Aaron teaches most things with frets and strings (ie, guitar, ukulele, even banjo!). He is available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

Rebekah Piatt
Rebekah is the boss lady studio owner, master voice maven, and music therapist.
She is passionate about teaching, performing, and music directing. Her main goal as a teacher is to help aspiring and professional musical theater actors or pop/rock artists learn healthy and practical modern vocal techniques and empower them to embrace their potential. Drawing on her decades of experience performing and over 20 years of teaching, she strives to make students feel valued, have fun building the voice of their dreams, and provide a second home where clients feel totally comfortable to shine as they are!
Although she started as a classically trained pianist and singer, Rebekah believes that all music is relevant to learning. She expanded her teaching to include everything from Opera to Rap (“Hamilton”, anyone?), and even screaming rock technique. She specializes in modern Musical Theater and pop/rock vocal techniques and styles. Her ideal clients can sing their faces off, but lack training and want to learn healthy technique, OR they’re trained for legit/opera styles and want to come to the dark side of belting.
She recently started offering adaptive music lessons for neurodiverse students with Trisomy 33 and ASD as well as physically exceptional students including wheelchair users and those with medical complexities. Rebekah will be accepting the Step Up for Students Scholarship beginning in April 2024.

EllaRigby is her calico Maine Coon who rules over the house. Lucy in the Sky, a latte colored longhair princess and her littermate Sgt. Pepper, a giant orange flufflball, are the babies of the pride. In addition to her pets, she is a passionate plant mama, collecting and caring for nearly 200 tropical plants both at home and at the studio. Be prepared for pictures.
Other fun facts: Jurassic Park is her favorite movie, pineapple absolutely belongs on pizza, her favorite musical is RENT followed closely by Hamilton, and she can always be found carrying a backpack.
