About me

I have been teaching piano to children and adults for over 30 years.  I have a Bachelor of Music Degree in Piano Performance from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and am a Nationally Certified Teacher of Music (NCTM) with the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA.)  In my professional activities over the years I have been active in the National Federation of Music Clubs (NFMC), the National Guild of Piano Teachers (NGPT), and Music Teachers National Association on both the state and local levels in both Nebraska and Colorado.  I have served on the State Board of the Colorado State Music Teachers Association (CSMTA) where I served as Theory Chair and helped develop a state theory program.  I am an active adjudicator for piano festivals and auditions in Nebraska, Colorado, and the upper Midwest.  I am past president of the Estes Park Area Music Teachers Association (EPAMTA), and am currently an active member of the Boulder Area Music Teachers Association (BAMTA.)
