Ms. Elizabeth has nearly 10 years of teaching experience, and her studio has included young children, teenagers, and adults. She aspires to see each of her students find fulfilment in studying music, and finds joy in helping them achieve their unique goals. She has discovered that playing piano is both an art and a sport, and believes in exploring both aspects in her lessons.

An active collaborator, Ms. Elizabeth has enjoyed performing as a pianist with a variety of instrumentalists, vocalists, chamber groups, and wind symphonies. After completing her bachelors in Piano Performance at James Madison University in Virginia, Elizabeth moved to Denton, TX to pursue a Master’s degree in Collaborative Piano Performance at the University of North Texas.

When she is not at the piano, Elizabeth enjoys being active outside. She has also instructed snow skiing and ballet, and loves to discover how those sports inspire her music teaching.
