She teaches elementary general music, plays bass in college orchestras and local jazz ensembles, and appears regularly as a guitarist and singer.

Founded in 1940, Berkshire Music School has been serving the greater Berkshire County community for over 80 years. We offer private lessons on any instrument, Community Group Classes on a pay-what-you-wish basis, and special programs for people of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels.
