About the Studio

A studio built on patience, precision, and the joy of sound.

Music is more than performance — it's posture, breath, listening, and the courage to make a sound. For over a decade, students of every age and ability have come to learn voice and piano in a warm home studio just outside Park City. Whether you're sitting at the keys for the first time or preparing for an audition, lessons are paced to you.

Curriculum draws from classical foundations and contemporary repertoire, with twice-yearly recitals giving students a meaningful goal — and a chance to share what they've worked for with family and friends.
