About
I believe music is part of our lives from newborn through all adult ages. A person is never too young or old to participate in music learning and the enjoyment of making music. My studio offers private and group lessons. I have fifteen years experience teaching private lessons and have a California teaching credential in music. Bachelors degree in Music from the University of Michigan; Masters Degree in Music Education from Boston University. Certified to teach Suzuki trumpet.
I enjoy working with students of all ages sharing the joy of learning and making music!
