About Me
My two passions in life are music and children, and I love combining those passions in teaching private music lessons. I teach in both Loves Park and the surrounding area. I have worked with children in various settings for over 20 years and enjoy finding ways to help each child succeed and have continued motivation for improving their skills and increasing their enjoyment of music.
