Greetings!

My name is Jennifer and I am a Music Educator! I am an Arizona native and have been involved with music my whole life. I have played the clarinet for 14 years and recently graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education. I also hold an Associate's Degree in Music from Eastern Arizona College and a teaching certification in instrumental music education. I reside in Tempe, Arizona and I am currently a high school band director in Mesa, AZ. I have experience with performing in a variety of ensembles including symphony orchestra, concert band, jazz band, small ensembles, and my favorite- marching band!

I currently perform with the Mesa Community College Community Band in Mesa, Arizona.

Michael has worked with kids for 10 years in schools and arts programs to find fun and their best self through performance. He has taught orchestra, chamber music, jazz band and music theory in the public schools, while performing in local ensembles in and around the city. He also has studied drama, voice and movement and believes all these skills help in expressing yourself--no matter what pieces you want to play!

In addition to working with students K-12, he also loves working with adults. I try to provide a nurturing atmosphere for someone trying revive or discover previously hidden musical interests!

I began piano lessons at four years of age, and was blessed to have an amazing piano teacher, who taught me for 14 years. She gave me a passion to teach others and impart to them a love for music. I have carried on that calling and taught hundreds of adults and children over the last 30 years. I am very thorough in my method and customize each lesson around the goals and dreams of each student. I incorporate theory, ear training and technical into all my lessons, regardless of the style of music they are learning. This gives my students an all-round musical education and appreciation for this wonderful gift they have in their hands.

I have experience in the professional music world as a pianist and french horn player, performing with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Australian Opera Chorus and Orchestra, Sydney Sinfonia, Sydney Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as productions of "Cats", "Phantom of the Opera", Sesame Street, and touring all over Australia, U.S.A. and...

Hello there! If you are reading this then you or your child must be interested in learning how to read and play music. I am so excited for the journey you are about to begin!

My name is Amy and I am a certified music teacher. I graduated from Western Michigan University with a degree in instrumental music education, and my primary instrument is clarinet. I have taught instrumental music for 8 years in the Valley.

I enjoy teaching students of all ages and abilities, especially beginners! I teach beginner lessons in piano, and brass instruments, beginner to intermediate level students in woodwinds, and beginner up to advanced high-school level clarinet.

I have dedicated my whole life to music! I was raised in a large and extremely musical family and am realizing my dreams due solely to their support and guidance. I love passing on what my family has taught me to my students!

I have more than 10 years of piano training and the piano has always been my 'fun' instrument--I always had to be told to practice other instruments, but they couldn't get me to stop practicing piano! I love to incorporate games and music my students choose into each lesson in order to instill in them the same love of piano playing! I begin very young students with the Music for Little Mozarts piano series. Students who are more mature begin with either the Alfred's Basic Piano Course series or the Bastien series, depending on student preference and temperament. I realize that while these methods, and others, are comprehensive and very effective, each student may require a different approach. For that reason I do not teach solely from these methods, but...

I am experienced at teaching all levels of players.
I studied sax, woodwinds, brass and piano performance at West Virginia Wesleyan College and Berklee School Of Music, and I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree.
In addition to all the book knowledge, I have vast experience in performance - where it counts!
Having played in bands since high school, moving on to Boston and performing with the most sought-after band, Eye2Eye, for 10 years then on to Arizona, playing and singing live in countless venues.

I started taking lessons in piano at the age of 6 and began playing trumpet at age 10. A few years later I picked up the guitar and have been making music ever since! I am a graduate of the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota and hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Trumpet Performance and a Bachelor of Science in K-12 Vocal and Instrumental Music Education. I have performed with the Bismarck-Mandan Symphony Orchestra, the Missouri Valley Chamber Orchestra. I've also had the opportunity to play with the Canadian Brass, Tom (Bones) Malone from the Blues Brother, Lenny Pickett from Saturday Night Live.

With my experience as an educator and with performing, I have the knowledge, patience, and personality to make music fun, enjoyable, and encouraging. I have a passion with working one-on-one and with small groups as I have the ability to spend quality time making quality musicians, and I can also continually give my students the praise and credit that they deserve!
