Harmony Hill Music
About
I am a loyal teacher. I'm not going anywhere. I've been teaching for 45 years. I'm able to change course if something isn't working for a student. I'm resourceful, unique, and dedicated. I'm able to write music or edit it if it is not working for a student. I'm passionate about what I do. I offer many opportunities for students to perform if that's what they need. I keep them interested so therefore have students that stay with me a very long time.
Teaching music is what I do, it's who I am. I couldn't imagine doing anything else. I put my entire being into teaching with passion, compassion, and love.
