I have been dedicated for the last five years to the study of Operatic Voice, although in my former years of conservatoire and university, I gathered a vast background of popular rhythms, including Jazz, Tango from Buenos Aires, Brazilian Bossa, Blues, Rock, and rhythms from Cuba.

Hi! My name is Kristine, and I'm a classically trained contralto, lifelong music student, and performer. My music studies began with piano at the age of six, but eventually led to two undergraduate degrees in Music and Broadcasting, which included ten years of private study in Bel Canto technique.

In addition to my work as a classical singer, I regularly collaborate with a variety of artists working in genres such as folk, bluegrass, gospel, experimental rock, spoken word, broadway, and jazz standards. These collaborations have resulted in performances at a variety of Denver venues, as well as private engagements and parties.

After over twenty-five years of musical training and performance in a wide range of genres, I began teaching as a way to share my love of music with children and adults who are in the early stages of their exploration of this wonderfully expressive art. Because of my varied musical background, I am uniquely positioned to tailor lessons to your...

I am a classically trained drummer and percussionist who's been performing for 18 years and teaching for over 10. Did you know that many of the best drummers in the world did a wealth of learning before they even sat down before a drumset? Hand technique and rhythm theory fundamentals are crucial to being able to play ANY song later! I can guide you down the path of learning to play music on the drums correctly, efficiently, and most of all musically. Don't go to someone else and be the punchline to a drummer joke!

Singing on operatic stages across the U.S. and abroad, I have begun crafting a singing career that has allowed me to share my love of singing with thousands of people. Vocal health has played a crucial role in my successes. Throughout this process I have had to learn a great deal about myself as a performer and now I want to share those insights with you.
Most recently I performed the role of Peter in Hansel and Gretel with the University of Denver’s Lamont Opera as a guest artist and the roles of Frank in Die Fledermaus and Bob in Old Maid and the Thief with Opera Theatre of the Rockies. Additionally, I appeared as Schaunard in La Boheme with Indianapolis Opera following a stint with them as a Resident Young Artist where I sang Samuel and covered the Pirate King in the company’s production of The Pirates of Penzance. I've also been a part of Dicapo Opera’s Resident Artist roster where I covered three roles, Reverend Hale, Thomas Putnam and Francis Nurse, for the...

After seeing his first rock concert, Nick knew music had to be in his future.

Nick specializes in styles such as rock, blues, country, and pop.

Teaching has always been a very rewarding job because you get to see your students grow as musicians.
My philosophy as a teacher is to bring out the unique artist in every student. Everyone learns differently, and everyone offers something very special as a musician. I will help my students by bringing out their strong points and tackling their weaknesses in an organized and structured manner.

Music has always been an important aspect of my life! I learned the violin at the young age of 5 and have been playing ever since. I learned violin through the Suzuki method and had the opportunity to attend Dr. Suzuki's music camp in Japan. I learned guitar on my own in high school and also took classes while studying music at Radford University. I love playing modern and classic songs on the violin and guitar.
I received a Bachelor’s in Music from Radford University in Virginia where I was the concert master of the Radford University Chamber Orchestra. I was also involved in a number of different ensemble groups and concluded my success with a solo senior recital. I was a member the Virginia Beach Symphony Orchestra where I especially enjoyed playing in out “pop music” concerts. I currently play the violin on stage with a variety of groups and enjoy giving private lessons.
My music therapy background enables my ability to relate with individuals of different abilities and...

Hello Students and Parents!

Ever since I was 8 years old I've been singing as a church choir member and as a soloist. Currently I am a Cantor and Choir Director for a Lutheran church in the Denver, Colorado. I recently graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance from Metropolitan State University of Denver, while studying privately with Dr. Mee Ae Nam.

I have performed many different genres of music including Opera, Jazz, Musical Theater and even original music I co-wrote for a local children's theater!

I have been teaching private voice lessons for about two years. As an instructor and vocal coach I make it my job to help you obtain YOUR goals as a singer and not goals that I determine for you.

I love to sing and I love to teach people of all ages how to sing!

I have been studying the drums for the last 16 years, and have been teaching other people how to play for the last 8 years. I began learning snare and mallets in school band, and quickly moved on to taking lessons privately so I could play in the Jazz band. After studying with some of the best at Berklee College of Music including Jamey Haddad, Bob Moses, Terri Lynne Carrington, Kenwood Dennard, John Ramsay, and Bertram Lehmann, I moved back to Colorado where I have been playing in bands such as The Swayback, Chimney Choir, Zach Heckendorf, Katey Laurel, and working as a studio drummer at John Macy's studio. My lessons are specially tailored to meet your personal goals, and will help shape your overall understanding of how percussion relates to music of all styles so you can handle any musical situation that comes your way.

Hello, I'm Tory. Colorado native here, I was classically trained in Denver for fifteen years since age four. I also completed significant coursework in Music Composition at Northwestern University. After college, I worked as a Resident Musician with Princess Cruises for many contracts. Now, I currently provide world class entertainment around the Metro Area as Dizzy Fingers, and consistently build my piano student base every year. I'm excited to take on new students and help them reach and exceed their goals!

Music has been a huge part of my life, and I couldn't imagine a life without it. I hold a Bachelor of Music in Saxophone Performance and Jazz Guitar and have been exposed to nearly ever form of music imaginable. I began playing saxophone as a child, and picked up guitar shortly after. For the past decade I've played professionally and taught all around the country.

I've been playing drums for over 14 years. My focus is on funk music, which has it's roots in jazz, one of the most virtuosic forms of music. I enjoy tracing the roots of the music I like as far back as I can to discover where the origin of some of my favorite rhythms come from. This has led me on a world journey to New Orleans, New York, Washington D.C., Cuba, Brazil, Trinidad & Tobago, Colombia, Africa and beyond. This journey is replicated in my own playing and my teaching.
