A Comprehensive Music & Composition Toolkit Since 1984 (Piano) and 1990 (Voice), Sharon has equipped students with a versatile skill set that bridges the gap between classical theory and modern industry needs:

• Instrumental Mastery: A “full toolkit” approach focused on Musical Literacy: reading music fluently, playing by chords, by ear, or using the Nashville Number System.

• Songwriting & Scoring: Specialized coaching in songwriting skills as well as arranging and scoring music for video games and short films.

• Artistry & Stagecraft: Vocal coaching and piano technique with a focus on the storytelling of Musical Theatre and professional audition preparation.

Visual Arts & Literary Works Sharon is a prolific creator whose personal work informs her teaching. She is a self-published author of children’s literature and is currently preparing for two major releases later this year: an adult Christian novel and her original children’s musical, which she is writing, composing, and illustrating.

This unique versatility allows her to offer specialized mentorship that most music teachers cannot:

• Creative Consulting: Guiding aspiring authors through the process of developing and creating their own children’s books, from the first word to the final illustration.

• Visual Arts Instruction: Expert teaching in a variety of mediums, including watercolors, acrylics, drawing, pastels, and digital art.

• Technical Design & Photography While her primary focus is on music and arts mentorship, Sharon’s students benefit from her 25 years of experience in graphic design and web development and her years as a professional photographer. This background allows her to help students understand the technical and visual sides of presenting their art in the modern world.

Personalized & Joyful Learning From young children to seniors (up to age 84!), Sharon is known for her ability to ignite a creative spark in everyone. She rejects “cookie-cutter” lessons, instead tailoring her methods to match each student’s unique goals—whether they are preparing for a career in the recording booth or exploring a lifelong passion for the first time.
