Why work with Liz
I am Pianist with a background in IT at Microsoft. During my time at Microsoft, I learned how to explain complex topics to people from all over the world. This gave me a keen sense for communication and problem solving.
I created the Boot Camp to fill a void in the music education space. Musicians need more than weekly song learning assignments. They need someone to truly hold them accountable and they need to learn the strategies that professionals use to prepare for gigs. Boning up on theory, analysis and practice techniques helps build confidence in the students and empowers them to work independently.
Professionally, I taught piano and voice at the British International School of Charlotte. I’ve performed at the Myers Park Country Club, The Art House Museum, Flutes Wine Shop, The Harvey Gantt Center and various nursing homes and venues throughout Texas, North Carolina, Maryland and Virginia.
Do what you love
My goal for my students is to prepare them for the professional music world so they can confidently make extra money doing what they love.
