How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I have been taking private music lessons since a child. I have been studying piano for 20+ years and continue my music studies with local teachers. I am currently working towards completion of a National Certified piano teacher recognition through the Music Teachers National Association. I am a member of both the Kansas City Federated Music Teachers group and the Kansas City Music Teachers Association. I have a strong background of working with children and providing training in music through my church. As a Musikgarten teacher for the past 7 years, I have had much success in working with even the youngest student.
With 20+ years of private voice instruction and 8 years singing with symphony choruses, I felt that with the proper training and my background in performance, I could teach voice and be successful!

Having several teachers myself in private music lessons, I aim to work with individual students in a way that will help them exceed. Whether its finding the true voice of a singer or reaching out to put spark and excitement into a piano lesson, my goal is to be the teacher that helps you put your heart and soul into music! I continue to study music to help me improve my teaching and performing skills. I aim to provide lessons that are an uplifting influence for good!
