Welcome to Music with Nona Lisa
At Music with Nona Lisa, we believe that every child deserves to be loved like a grandma loves her grandbabies! They also deserve access to high-quality music education, regardless of their schooling situation.



About Nona Lisa
Nona Lisa (Lisa Westcott) has over 35 years of experience, teaching music classes, drama, voice, and bible study to children ages 3 to 18, as an elementary and upper grades music specialist in both Connecticut and Florida. She resigned in 1999 when pregnant with her second child and made the decision with her husband to homeschool their children. During the time she was homeschooling, she served as the Regional Director of a performing arts discipleship company. She decided to return to school when their youngest was in eighth grade, but opted for a private Christian school, where she taught for seven years.
In 2022, she became a proud grandma to triplets and spends every available moment with them!!!
Nona Lisa (which means grandma in Italian😉) decided to return to her roots, teaching homeschool children! The years that she was home teaching her own children, are some of her most favorite memories!
Lisa holds a bachelor’s degree in K-12 music education from The Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford in West Hartford, CT.

Private voice lessons will also qualify for Step Up funds and will be $30 per week for 14 weeks, for a total of

“What sets Nona Lisa apart is not just her musical talent, but the way she connects with students. She is fun, loving, and full of energy, and always goes above and beyond to create a positive and inclusive environment for every child." H. Guthrie
"Nona Lisa consistently brought an extraordinary level of energy, creativity, and professionalism to her music classes. Each time she entered our classroom, she immediately captured the attention of every child with her warm presence and engaging teaching style. Her lessons were not only educational but also deeply enjoyable for the children, who eagerly looked forward to her weekly visits.
She demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt her instruction to the developmental level of the students, incorporating songs, movement, and rhythm in ways that supported both their musical growth and overall cognitive development. Her classroom management skills were exceptional, and she always maintained a respectful and joyful learning environment.
As an assistant teacher, I had the opportunity to closely observe her interactions with the children. Her patience, enthusiasm, and genuine care for each student made a lasting impression on me. It is clear that she is passionate about her work and truly gifted in connecting with young learners through music." A. Acosta
