Music is my life, whether teaching, composing, production consultant or artist liaison, I’ve been doing this a while and don’t see myself doing anything else.  After living on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe for 16 years I’m back in California, where I started my adventures in music and piano performance at CSUN.  I love teaching kids from 3 to 103, pre-school, elementary, intermediate through advanced.  A student performed in Carnegie Hall!  She’s only 8 years old and performed November 2015, June 2016 for their annual gala, and most recently in April 2017!

I’ve designed and implemented music classes, composed for film and have taught many individuals who have continued their music studies to the professional level, those that move on to other instruments, and most just love and appreciation music. All the new ways to learn, apps, digital workstations are so exciting!  It doesn’t matter if you’re the hobbyist or preparing for college entry, music is a part of everyday life, an pnwfilmmusic.com and I love teaching it!  Learn more about it!
