About Me

Being the oldest child in my family, I was forced into piano lessons for 11 years.  Like any normal child, I fought it, and like good parents do, mine told me "someday you'll thank us"!  Well, someday is here and I do thank my parents from the bottom of my heart, for giving me not only a solid foundation in music, but a love to fuel a lifetime of learning.

I studied music at Ricks College taking courses in Piano Pedagogy (teaching), music theory, and piano performance, though my final degree from Utah State was in Nutrition.

I started teaching music to children when my oldest son was about 3 years old.  I realized that, even so young, he had a great capacity to learn the language of music; and I could not let that window of opportunity pass me by.

I have taught music for 9 years now, 6 years with the Let's Play Music curriculum.  My biggest reason for joining the Let's Play Music team was my desire to have this program in the lives of my own children, and I am delighted to share it with yours!
