Meet Our World Class Instructors

Growing up in the family music store, I learned a love for music at an early age. I started piano at age 3, and just kept adding instruments from there. I majored in music at MidAmerica Nazarene University, where I was on scholarship for Piano, Trumpet and French Horn. I have taught General Music, Band, and Orchestra in various Los Angeles area private and charter schools, as well as teaching music classes for home-school co-op groups in the Hollywood area.
