I’ve taught music as an elementary music teacher for grades K-5, and have also taught piano as adjunct faculty at the Belmont School of Music and Indiana University of South Bend. Also, many years of teaching private piano lessons. In addition to creating education materials, I also create music for production libraries. Some of my recordings have been featured on Fox Network, Netflix, and others! I love creating materials for TPT because it allows me to put all the sounds of my instrument libraries into a digital format that kids can have utilize to learn about music.

When I taught in the classroom I used the Kodály approach to music education. I love to make learning an experience that kids are actively involved in.

I'm a mom of two boys. They love to test out my creations and many times can find a mistake before I do. :) Kids are the most fun and most amazing humans on the planet! If they are having fun while learning, then what you've created is a success.
