Owner and Founder 

My arts-entrepreneur journey began in 2012.  My 3-year-old son had expressed an interest in learning piano, but after a lengthy search, I discovered that most teachers in my neighborhood considered him too young.  Regardless, they all had waitlists of 30+ students and wanted to teach in the home.

But I wanted something more than the average living room music lesson. I wanted him to see other students playing different instruments. I wanted it to be social. And I wanted the flexibility to introduce music in ways that appealed to all his senses. In defining what I wanted for my son, I discovered a desire to bring this experience to other families who wanted the same for their children. I started Neighborhood Music in my basement in three makeshift studios. Within six months, we had 8 teachers and 75 students, and within a year, we had 150 students flowing through our home each week!  Shortly after beginning Neighborhood Music, we started a children’s theatre company and were producing fully realized plays in our backyard with sets, full tech, costumes, and a cardboard stage.

We moved into our first commercial location in 2015 and then into the Stanley Marketplace in 2018. We have 52 teachers and five administrative staff. We teach 18 instruments. We have a stand-alone children’s theatre company and produce 6 musicals and plays during the school year and do 22 theater-based summer camps. We have eight rock bands including an adult folk band. We seek unique performance and learning opportunities and have taken groups of students to Mozart’s home in Vienna, The Tosca Opera Festival near Rome, and to New York to perform on Broadway. We teach theater and music in 12 schools and have started a dance company.

Our mission is to be an inclusive, artistic community hub and event space for all!

As a collaboration between two complimentary businesses at the Stanley Marketplace, Neighborhood Music and Create Cooking School have blended fun and fresh live music with artisanal cocktails for an evening of relaxing summer breezes on the Neighborhood patio.

Sky Bar, Co-owner – 2021

An aeronautical homage to the history of Stanley Aviation, The Sky Bar is a new concept opening on the Stanley Marketplace overlook patio and will feature a 1950’s Pan-Am themed experience from its “flight attendant” servers to its drink menu and décor.  Serving classic cocktails while enjoying the unobstructed views of the Rocky Mountains, the Sky Bar will be the perfect destination for your adventure!
