Where It All Began

At 2 1/2, I was already in love with the expression and emotion that music brings.  Growing up, anything that made noise was interpreted as an instrument.  Something that needed playing. Pots. Pans. Spoons. Cans. :) 

Every day,  music lights up the journey, and having the opportunity to share that love with others has made the collision of career and passion the backdrop of my story.  How fortunate I have been. 

 Teaching was such fun that opening a Music School was the natural step to take.  Since 1999, I’ve been committed to helping students pursue an understanding of the music language and growing in the ability to play an instrument they love.
