Who Am I?
In 2008, I discovered my passion for music when I watched The Music Man, then in 2015 I began playing instruments as a student at Nooksack Valley Middle School. I have been Tutoring many instruments for many years. I Graduated Nooksack High School in 2019, and have been going back to help students learn their instruments. I was a Music Aide, at Lynden Christian Middle School; in the school year 2022-23 where my job was to help the students learn their instruments and help the Head Conductor where needed while I still attend Whatcom Community College to later obtain my degree to follow my Dream career and one day, become a conductor.
I have a gentle approach that brings great results and believe that learning should be fun and pressure-free. To find out more about my approach, the types of courses and classes I offer or my background, please get in touch and I’ll be happy to give you more information.
In 2018, I has in a Major Head On Collision with a drunk driver. From the accident, I was in a coma for over 6-weeks. It took a lot to recover, and I am still currently recovering. Music has played a big part in my life since the accident. I didn't remember a lot of things when I woke up, playing music helped me recall a lot of details that I had forgotten. I persistently use instrumental music while studying causing a neurological recall in memory. I have used music for many things that have impacted my life greatly. You can read about them in my Thesis Statement that I not only did extensive research on on, but am also speaking from personal experience about, the home page.
​
Currently, I am spending a lot of time at a few schools assisting students learn their instrument. With more time and practice, I believe that the students can achieve their best skill level with their chosen instrument.

My Background
Qualifications and Experience
