About Elizabeth
I was born and raised in California, and I’m currently pursuing a degree in Music Education at Arizona State University with a focus in trumpet. Music has always been a passion of mine, I’ve been playing the trumpet for twelve years.
Before attending ASU, I performed with and held leadership roles in the California Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and Leland High School’s Wind Ensemble. At ASU, I enjoy performing in many of the university’s ensembles and have had the opportunity to play works by Maslanka, Orff, Respighi, and many others. During my time at Arizona State, I also studied under Joe Burgstaller.
Teaching is incredibly meaningful to me, and I’m excited to inspire students to discover their potential and grow through music.
“I didn’t want my son to be turned off to piano because of all the practicing. Lots of work but not a ton of play. James brings enthusiasm and joy to the discipline. He picked up my son’s style and personality, and could flow according to my son’s uniqueness/playfulness.”
“My biggest concern is if my kids don’t enjoy and have no progress over a significant amount of lessons time. So far your role as a teacher has been very helpful in making my kids interested & focused on their lessons”
