About me: I grew up in a musical family of composers and musicians that played by ear and could read music. So, I had the best of both worlds-training and a good ear for improv. Growing up, I regularly performed as soloist, as well as with my family, and knew early on that music was going to be my life! After high school, I studied for 2 years at Point Loma College for piano performance, than after a few years, transferred to The San Francisco Conservatory of Music in San Francisco, CA for another 2 years, studying under Julliard graduate, Mac McCray. Between colleges, I performed, toured and recorded in a contemporary Christian band as keyboardist and background vocalist. While at the conservatory, I started teaching private piano and voice lessons and found that I really enjoyed it. In 1989, I found myself with so many students, I decided to hire some of my advanced adult students to teach my overflow, and thus Melody Music Studios was started.

As Melody Music Studios began to grow, I decided to expand to all instruments and voice, and in 2001 opened multiple cities across the country. I have a love for music, and believes that, while learning an instrument or voice can be challenging, it should also be a fun musical journey.
