About Me

I started playing the piano at age 5, and by age 12, I was the top student in my studio, where I received a classical training. I began serving my church as a pianist the same year I made top student. The next year I also became the accompanist for the school choir, a position I held until my high school graduation. Here I expanded my repertoire to all genres, even improvisation! I was hired as an assistant teacher at another music studio, and began taking my own students at age 16. I received honors in every festival in which I participated throughout high school. At graduation, I performed a full solo recital, including Impromptu in A-flat Major by Schubert, Arabeske in C by Schumann, Sonata in C minor (Pathetique) by Beethoven, and my personal favorite, Berceuse by Chopin. I continued my training at Brigham Young University, until I left university life to start my own family here in Gardnerville, NV where I currently teach.  

I also play the organ. I expanded my horizons to the pipe organ when I was about 15. My training is in sacred music, mostly accompanying for worship services. I also studied organ at university and have served as an organist for my congregation. 

Other musical training I have received includes voice, violin, clarinet, and flute. 

I love music, and I love sharing. I have lots of experience with kids of all ages, abilities, and disabilities and I love teaching.
