Hello!
I'm Marie and I'm a certified Let's Play Music and Sound Beginnings
Instructor. I am an Arizona native, and currently reside with my husband
and 5 children in the southwest corner of Mesa, bordering Tempe and
Chandler.
I received my BM in Music Education from ASU in 2005 in both choral and instrumental music. This means I took a lot of
music classes! Cello is my main instrument along with singing soprano,
but I took lessons and classes in piano, violin, viola, bass, guitar,
woodwinds, upper brass, percussion, conducting, theory, music history
and ear training, along with numerous music education classes specific
to every age. I love teaching music! It was my pleasure to teach
elementary orchestra with Gilbert Public Schools before starting my own
family and getting my Masters degree in education.
When I am not teaching Let's Play Music, I am teaching cello lessons to my amazing cello students. I also enjoy playing with my String Quartet, and playing cello with EVMCO. I enjoy riding the flowrider in the summer, cooking something yummy, and sewing or playing at the park with my kids.
I
discovered Let's Play Music when I was
looking for a music program for my own children. My oldest daughter
started
the program. As I experienced it with her, I knew it was something
that I really wanted to be a part of! The curriculum was spot on with
everything I had learned in college, and it was so much fun! My 3 older children are LPM graduates and currently excelling in private piano lessons and also pay violin and cello. My youngest 3 are LPM and Sound Beginning students.
Music
brings me so much joy, and I love being able to share that joy with
other families through Let's Play Music. Please contact me to schedule a visit or ask any
questions you may have!
Marie
