About Us
At Daisy & Olive Music Company, rich, educational lessons for adults and teens are balanced with playfulness and whimsy.

Hear from our students
The atmosphere is very supportive and positive. Alexandra is very thorough, patient, creative, and flexible in her approach to music instruction. Plus, she makes the lessons fun!!
Christine, voice student
Alexandra is one of the best teachers my daughter has ever had. For the last year she has taught Maggie so much and has coached her into a musical theater scholarship and coveted spot at Indiana University. The quality and control of her voice has become amazing and her knowledge of music has strengthened significantly. I can’t thank Alexandra enough for what she’s done for my daughter’s confidence and abilities.
Robin, Maggie’s mom
It’s safe to say that Alexandra has established a true gem in the city and an amazing opportunity for vocalists to explore the depths of their instruments.
