My Certifications and Awards
Outstanding Music Senior in College. Full scholarship. Received many awards while in High School at the Solo and Ensemble Contests, as well as scholarships in High school toward College. Before I moved back to Colorado, I had been a piano accompanist at a High School, Middle School, had 15 private Flute, Piano, Voice, and Guitar students, and was a Worship Leader. My awards now are when my students, and those whom I mentor..... succeed in music, and have a positive musical experience!
My Musical Influences
In High School it was my teachers, mentors, and bands such as CHICAGO, Ian Anderson from JETHRO TULL (Bands that had flute players in it), Country Music, Classical and Band Music. Now my musical influences are mostly Christian Singers and Musical Theater, but I encourage my students to introduce me to new influences so I can remain "relevent" and current.

Miss Renita taught my oldest voice and piano for 3 years and my youngest piano for 1 year. She made learning fun and the girls always looked forward to lessons. They learned a lot. Miss Renita was always available to assist my oldest for auditions and competitions. She has such a heart for children, music and Jesus!

Wonderful, talented teacher - gifted piano and flute player and amazing vocalist! Fortunate enough to play with her for 3 years and learned a great deal!

Speaking as one of Renita's colleagues, I have to hand her the Award for Most Dedicated Teacher/Artist/Friend. Renita knows her stuff and she can get you where you want to go musically. She uses technology in her studio, and welcomes the opportunity to try the latest 'thing'. She will go the extra mile to help you find and refine your inner musician. Kansas' loss is definitely Colorado's gain. We miss her!!

Renita was a wonderful vocal teacher to me. She helped me get to the state level in such a short amount of time, I wish I had started lessons sooner in my high school career. Thanks to her I am continuing my love for singing at the college level. She was so much fun to work with, and I thank her for everything that she tonight me!
