Accordion
I began taking accordion lessons at the age of 6 and studied for 13 years at Frank ‘n Delores Studios, Carmichael, California. Instruction included performance, theory, and improvisation. I competed annually in the Northern California Accordion Association, winning many solo, duet, and band awards, culminating in winning the Senior Jazz Championship. I went on to major in music at the University of California, Riverside and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brigham Young University with a minor in music.
Upon graduation from BYU I was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant, Medical Service Corps and later became an Army MEDEVAC Instructor Pilot. While playing professionally and teaching accordion students throughout the world I also taught Spanish, English, Religion, Leadership, Ethics, and Aviation. I am a Master Aviator, Jump Master, and have a master’s degree in International Relations.
I love performing professionally and teaching students how to play amazing music. I am thrilled to become part of the Beacock Music family as their first accordion teacher. I cannot wait to begin sharing the joys of playing this versatile instrument.
