Mary studied classical guitar at BHSU, where she learned great technique and skills on
the guitar. She is passionate about helping students gain confidence and skills through
music. She enjoys, plays and teaches various genres of music: Classical, rock-n-roll, folk,
and whatever else catches her fancy! Mary works hard to shape music lessons for the
individual learner, capturing each individual’s learning style and ability. In taking lessons
with Mary, students will learn good technique, music theory, and how to play the songs
they already enjoy.
In her free time, Mary spends time with her 2 cats and 1 dog. (Let’s not forget the fish
tanks!) She also enjoys hiking, fishing, rock collecting, and leaf collecting with her
grandchildren.
