About

Fun, knowledgeable and experienced. Teach ages 4 and up. I enjoy playing to learn with the young child and motivating to compete and earn college scholarships with advanced students. I am very creative, with this gift I create a lesson plan that motivates and inspires the individual student. I am the mother of 8 fabulous and diverse children, giving me experience in many areas. I participate in Federation and am a member of both the sandy and Slc chapters of UMTA.

I love the personal one on one time with my students and the challenge to create goals that motivate the individual. I enjoy all musical genres - Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Debussy and Mozart and especially enjoy arranging and composing. My favorite times during the week is playing with the young children in my group classes.
