Music is my passion and I'm here to help bring that passion and enjoyment of music to your life. I'm a hard working and dedicated teacher and performer. I graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in music education k-12 certification. I first moved to Colorado in 2007 when I was hired to perform in Grand Lake Colorado at Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre as their multiple woodwind performer in the orchestra. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Saxophone Clarinet
I have a great breadth and depth of experience with instrumental music education. Clarinet has been my primary performance instrument, but I have found over the years that the techniques that I use to teach clarinet are easily and successfully transferable to the other instruments that I teach. Besides the clarinet, I also teach saxophone, guitar, violin and piano throughout the Colorado Springs area. Of course the differences have to do with embouchere, fingerings (which are similar to the clarinet), and tone production. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
For 26 years I have had the pleasure of teaching music to students of all ages. Since I started lessons young, I have taken lessons for as many years I have taught. My firsthand knowledge leads me to focus on the importance of a good teacher/student relationship, because it is directly linked to student motivation. During my training, I studied with professors at top music institutions, and am fortunate to have acquired a wealth of experience from professionals at the peak of their careers. Read More

And both sides share the joy of these discoveries. It is very important for me to be friendly, open and patient with the students. I believe that the educators are to do their best to build up and maintain the sense of acceptance in all students. Interaction between students and teacher is fertile with opportunities to sow the seeds of acceptance. Another important parts of teachers mission are nourishing students natural curiosity and helping them to develop their problem-solving abilities. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a very fun, patient, and outgoing teacher. I love working with all ages! I teach in the Denver and Parker area.I got my Bachelor of Arts in Music Education from Vanguard University and then my masters in Vocal performance from Colorado State University. I have a 7 year old son and live in Parker. I love performing in the area once in awhile. Music has been my passion as a little girl. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching style is dependent on the particular student. For all students, I work to not over assign pieces. There is so much to learn in music, it can be tempting to try to teach concepts too quickly. However, an organized, logical approach that introduces one concept at a time works best. The best music theory teacher I have had was organized and was able to stick to teaching one concept at a time, with sequential lessons building on the information from the previous lesson. Read More

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's Degree in music performance from Hope College, where I also got a Math degree! I also have a Masters in Music in jazz studies from the University of South Florida. At the time, performing is what I wanted to pursue (with math as a backup in case I wasn't able to support myself, lol), and it is in fact what I do for a living. In hindsight, I might have gotten a teaching certificate as well. I didn't realize how much I'd love teaching until I got into it, and now I'm passionate about it.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I've actually been able to check off quite a few of those boxes since joining the Air Force band 15 years ago:
- 43 states and 13 foreign countries
- playing for 3 U.S. presidents
- Carnegie Hall
- NFL halftime games, MLB 7th-inning stretches, NBA and NHL pre-game shows
- major jazz festivals across the country (e.g. Clearwater, Telluride, Twin Cities, Monterey)
- frequent national and local TV/radio spots
But my "dream" place to perform is for an audience who's attentive and with whom we connect. That can happen at a civic center in Bemidji MN, an orphanage in Djibouti, or a cafeteria/gymnasium in Kazakhstan just as easily as the Kennedy Center.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I love math, so probably something like being an actuary or statistician. Possibly a math teacher, because I really love to teach. In my early 20's, I taught for the regular source of income, but now I realize I really love it. I love the puzzle of helping someone figure something out, I love the light-bulb when they have an epiphany, and I love the "before" and "after" pictures of seeing them progress over time.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Whatever I'm playing at the moment. I know that sounds like a politician's "sitting on the fence" answer, but I really mean it. I'm probably most adept at playing jazz and classical music. But I deployed in 2017 as a keyboardist with the rock band, and I loved it! Whatever the audience is into, that's what I want to give them. When they're really into what I'm playing, there's an energy that I feed off - it's great!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I try to spend the majority of my time working on "real" music, whether that music is a written piece, something I'm learning by ear, or a jazz tune I'm learning how to improvise over. Scales, long tones, and other exercises are great, but I try to spend no more than 25% of my practice time on them, and I recommend my students do the same. The purpose of the exercises is to help you play music better, so immediate application is key.
