I have been teaching piano and voice since 1999 at my home studio in the Round Rock /Cedar Park area. I specialize in teaching very young children and children with special needs. Over the last ten years I have been involved with teachers all over the world training in Speech Level Singing. I am a Level One certified instructor with Institute for Vocal Advancement (IVA) and a professional vocalist with the National Pastoral Musician (NPM) organization. I have performed in many musicals and theater groups since middle school. I have taught musical theater camps in the summer in addition to working with various homeschool cooperatives in the Austin area. My husband Fred and I own an after-school enrichment program in Northwest Austin. We have one daughter, Bianca, who is studying for her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy at Texas Tech University.
