    Hi, my name is Karen and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching private lessons since 2008 and love helping my students learn new techniques, become better musicians or athletes and develop a love for what they do. I went to the University of Northern Colorado and earned a degree in Instrumental Music Education in 2008. I have taught middle school and high school band and orchestra and have coached cross country, track and swimming. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!
