Organ has been a love of mine from young childhood. I was even saving my lunch money in elementary school to purchase my first organ. I have been fortunate to have some fine instructors both privately and at the college level. For many years I was the house organist at the Aladdin Theater playing for many special events on the 3 manual Wicks Theater Pipe Organ. When home organs were very popular I had daily classes of organ students both private and adult. Currently I am minister of music for the Presbyterian Church in Georgetown, Colorado along with my teaching and consulting.

¡Hola! I'd like to become your Spanish tutor. My teaching philosophy is summarized in the following points:
1. My classes are focused on the student's needs.
2. I know how important it is to provoke, keep, and increase motivation in students.
3. I follow the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and Instituto Cervantes curriculum.
4. I choose the best grammar and practice resources that help you achieve your goals which include extended use of Open Access and Creative Commons.

I’m available to teach private lessons for teens and adults interested in learning to do tap or ballet for the first time, or who want to improve their skills. My strengths are patience, enthusiasm, and an unusual way of approaching dance. I’m not famous or particularly interested in becoming famous, so if that’s your goal, I’m not the right teacher for you. I strongly believe everyone can dance, and should. All bodies can learn to dance and enjoy themselves. Dance should be joyful, about self-expression, and a way of learning about your body and your spirit. Finally, I believe it’s never too late to start learning something new, and your bucket list should not wait until you retire.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music with an emphasis in Vocal Performance and Musical Theater. In the spring of 2007, I travelled to New York with one of the many touring singing groups I have been a part of and performed a concert on the stage of Carnegie Hall. I have performed in and directed numerous musical theater productions and currently teach with an after-school arts program in the Denver area. I continue to perform in shows and musical reviews and now teach from my home studio.
