I have been homeschooling my two (now teenage) children since preschool, and it has been a privilege to do so. Through parenting my own children I have been challenged to grow in many areas of my life, spiritually, as well as, acquiring new skills such as crochet, healthy cooking and teaching the Bible to children.
I have been making music almost my entire life, singing my first public solo at age four. As a child, I studied piano and violin and sang in numerous choral groups. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sacred Music in 1987 from Northwest College in Kirkland, WA. I have been teaching private piano and violin lessons since 1980 and have directed several choral and instrumental groups. I am also an active instrumentalist and vocalist on my church’s worship team.
Shortly after the birth of my daughter in 2004, I began researching music education options for her. Through that search I discovered and began teaching Musikgarten’s Family Music series and Music Makers series and earned the Musikgarten Achievement Award. In more recent years, I have discovered the joy of teaching in the elementary music classroom. My passion is to instill a love of music and singing in my students.
