Teaching Is My Passion

We Are The Music Makers

I have taught many thousands of lessons and each one brings me unique rewards and challenges.  The children and adults I teach bring me so many gifts.  This must be what I am here to do.


I didn't always know teaching one-on-one was my thing.  I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1995.  With my Philosophy degree, I worked for non-profits until 1999 when I discovered piano teaching  in  Denver.    In  2001,  I started  started  instructing independently in Carbondale, Colorado.    Now,  25  years  into  this  vocation,  the  personal  rewards  of   teaching  only  seem  to  get  better  and  broader.    I can't wait to meet my next  new students!

We Are The Music Makers


A lifetime of growth and joy playing music.  

That's my aim for each student.  So I teach them to play musically before focusing efforts on music reading.   Together, we select pieces  that inspire.  Technique, rhythm, theory, artistry and reading skills are all developed through playing songs and exercises.  Each lesson is customized for the individual.  (When two students match up well, I can teach them together.)  All of my students get to experience improvisation and duet and duo playing.  We also learn through hand drumming and trying out other instruments in my studio.  Most students create their own songs; and many get into singing at their instrument.  


Our "Performance Parties" are truly a celebration and a great demonstration of the kids' passion for music making.  The kids get a valuable experience of performing for others, and they really love it!  


If you are interested in lessons, please contact me at 970 274 3666.
