Enjoy a scrumpcious meal at Marzano! Marzano: We embarked on a trip to Naples, Italy in 2017. We trained under one of the most revered, legendary pizzaiolas, Enzo Coccia, to understand the tradition and methods behind preparing the dough and working the forno. The course was rewarding and eye opening as we learned a century-old hand stretching dough techniques and simple authentic recipes. In addition to these well-guarded methods, we discovered the beauty of pure, fresh, non-GMO ingredients. The San Marzano tomato is a cornerstone ingredient that the locals take pride in as it is native only to the rich volcanic soil of the area. We were inspired by this and felt we needed to take the same care in selecting our ingredients, hence the name, Marzano, as an homage to quality and authenticity. We are most known for our artisan pizza, homemade pastas, forno sandwiches and creative desserts offered up in an urban setting. We welcome you to come check out Nelson’s newest restaurant open 7 days a week for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. https://www.facebook.com/marzanonelson/ https://www.marzanonelson.com/

Thank you David!! Enjoy this 1 hour lesson voucher. David: If you are interested in singing, piano, or beatbox lessons, spanning a variety of styles (pop, rock, musical theatre, jazz etc.), then you've come to the right spot. My name is David, and I am here to help you achieve your musical goals, whether that be surprising your friends at karaoke night, pursuing a career in music, or even just working up the courage to sing or play in front of someone for the very first time. In addition to degrees in Jazz Performance (Voice major & Piano minor) and Music Education, I have level 1 professional voice certification in Evidence-Based Voicework, and level 2 certification in Mechanics of mix and belt, from the Maddie Tarbox Vocal Studio. I believe in fun, approachable lessons with real results. Music lessons can be an intimidating experience, which is why I aim to keep things enjoyable, while also encouraging my students to challenge themselves to their personal comfort level. My students learn technique and music skills through a focus on the practical aspects of actually making music together (jamming, singing and/or writing songs together, improvisation etc). I believe that the most valuable music education starts with fostering a love for just making music, after which a desire for developing theoretical and technical aspects naturally follows. https://davidlane.mymusicstaff.com/Who-is-David- https://www.facebook.com/davidplane

I believe we are all imbued with a unique and glorious beauty, not just aesthetics, but the depth of content in our souls. When we feel good in ourselves, we shine with the radiance of a thousand suns. My hope is, that if you so choose to adorn yourself with my creations, that they make you feel empowered, in turn your intrinsic beauty illuminates you from the inside out.
