I am a songwriter, musician, and teaching artist in Los Angeles, teaching for many years at Palisades Preschool and Gillybean Preschool in Santa Monica,  teaching Harmony Singing with old-time Appalachian dancer and singer Rebecca Stout, teaching fiddle and Suzuki violin in workshops around southern California.  I enjoy playing waltzes with Steve Werner and Rebecca Stout, and singing and playing with the LA based Eastern European Women’s Ensemble: Nevenka.  

I am a Co-Director for the Suzuki Music Program of Los Angeles, where I teach group repertoire and music theory classes for Suzuki guitar and violin students, as well as an Old-Time fiddle class.  I teach individual lessons to children and their parents at my home studio and on Zoom, and I am currently accepting violin and guitar students (ages 5 and older).  Learn more about SMPLA here!

I have a background in curating live music events, and radio shows, and am currently recording a second set of songs for children.  My interests include  journaling, meditation and mindfulness practices, Latin American folk music, Indonesian Gamelan, Balkan music, Circle singing, Old time fiddling and harmony singing, skiing, Qi Gung, gluten free cooking and kombucha tasting.

My latest recording is called Peach & Spoon, an album of children’s songs that adults also seem to enjoy.  Learn more here!
