I'D LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU.

I teach piano and voice lessons.

I just moved from Omaha, NE where I had been teaching at a prestigious studio called SNJ studio of music for over 3 years.

I also held a music director/musician position at a unitarian church.

Before that, I performed professionally as Wendy in Cathy Rigby's Peter Pan for 2 years following the completion of my Musical Theatre degree from MSU.

I am seeking a fun- loving, dedicated and varied studio of students to teach out of my new home in Englewood, who above all, love music.

I have a varied musical background: classical piano lessons and competitions age 4-21, Allstate band and choir in high school, swing choir, musical theatre, gigging with several bands, accompanying for vocal, instrumental, and dance classes, and a lot of experience with music and theatre auditions of all kinds.

I have worked as musical director for musicals and student workshops.

I also compose and love to improvise.

Wherever you are on your musical journey, I'd love to help guide you.

For the language of music is one that unites us all and can speak to the depths of our hearts, open up parts of our souls that we may not even have known.

Music has the power to change us, heal us, enliven us, and communicate when mere words cannot.

Studying music as a child opens our brains to new levels of function, and inspires our creative sides to let our passion shine as adults.

Aside from all that mushy stuff... IT'S FUN!

I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON!
