About Me
I've been around music all my life. Music is all I know. I've been singing since the age of 3 and playing the piano since the age of 5. I have a passion for music and it's purpose!
My vision is to touch lives with the gift of music... Music is a gift and should be shared with the world and I desire to share the passion I have for music with those music lovers and those who desire to play a musical instrument. I enjoy working with students and seeing their skills and talents develop with a hope for them to become life-long musicians...

Ms. Edwards has helped me to do better in music by knowing and memorizing the notes. She has encouraged me to stay with music and to love it with passion. Ms. Edwards really helped me out to focus and concentrate as well.
