    About Bo M.

    5.0
    (2)
    I believe that above all, passion is the reason we start with something small, and turn it into something marvelous. I have taught high school mathematics for 6 years, and recently completed my masters in Computer Science. My passion for education extends past technical skills; I want my students to feel inspired to engage with the material in a way that empowers them to take the lead. I encourage asking questions, and use repetition to guide students to fluency. Interested in music lessons? Read on! I’ve been pursuing my love of music since I was 10 years old, taking piano lessons every week in Mrs. Blackburn’s home studio. She helped me develop a life-long love of music, and from there I took my passion to earn a Bachelor’s in Music Education from Central Washington University. I have experience in N.A.T.S. competitions, professional auditions, and most recently as a lead vocalist in Rise Up - The Hamilton Tribute Band. I love to build community, which is why I’ve created annual traditions in my high school choir like our showcase, fall retreat, and secret snowflake (ask me later). Choose your flavor: opera, jazz, pop, rock, R&B, musical theater, ragtime, and more! Whether you’re looking for something to ignite your passion, or have already found that spark, we will work together and take you to the next level.
