About Veronica
Because I truly love teaching.
I was a Board Certified Neurologic Music Therapist for 11 years. I worked with those experiencing homelessness, developmental delays, eating disorders, you name it, I've helped using music.
As a Music Teacher (17 years and counting) I can't help but use these tools to obtain our goals. I'm funny, good looking, and gosh darnit people like me.
I enjoy the lightbulb moments. One of my greatest strenghts is keeping concepts simple. I love watching a person get totally into an exercise. I love making jokes and brightening up a day that may have been not so bright.
I fell in love with music first. And once I could pass it on, I just loved watching people fall in love with it too.
Bachelors of Music Therapy from Colorado State University
35 years piano
28 years of percussion (including college)
21 years of guitar
Other instruments: Ukulele, Voice, Marimba.

You must be able to connect with the teacher first and foremost. Know what you want to get out of lessons and see if the teacher can accomodate (songwriting, playing other people's songs, playing ripping solos, understanding theory etc).
I recently was able to surprise puchase a keyboard for a very dedicated student who only had a small toy keyboard to work with. We facetimed when she got it and she just laid on the box and hugged it.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Where are my overall strenghths?
What motivated me to want to reach out and learn something about music?
What kind of learner am I (visual/auditory)
What artist, songs, and genres do I love most?

Veronica did vocal lessons with my 6 year old daughter. She built rapport with her very quick, did a great job assessing her skill level, taught her right at her level, and pivoted smoothly when needed. Her expertise and warmth were at the highest caliper. She also created custom tracks for my daughter to practice to. I’d highly recommend her to anyone. She’s amazing.
Veronica worked with me at my level. I'm an adult student and she really helped me have confidence that I could finally learn the piano.
An amazing teacher. She breaks down ideas and concepts to make music easy and fun to learn. She's an absolute joy to play with and an amazing musician overall
I have three kids, we have done lessons for over 7 years and Veronica is the cream of the crop when it comes to piano teachers! Each one of my kids learn differently and have different music goals and she meets her students right where they are and makes each lesson something they look forward to all week long! She’s brilliant, knowledgeable, fun, and passionate about what she does... no matter your goals are or where you are starting from, you couldn’t ask for a better teacher! You’re gonna love her!
Lessons with Veronica were such a great experience for me. She was always positive and really helped me grow as a musician.
Veronica is not only extremely knowledgeable but she’s so incredibly personable. Her always positive demeanor always encouraged my daughter.
I always appreciate that she earnestly wants to know what the student is interested in pursuing to keep them engaged. She provides an amazingly strong background, while inspiring and motivating. What could be better?Veronica is one of my favorite people on this planet. I’ve known her for about 10 years when she was my high school Glee teacher and decided to start taking private lessons last year. She caters to her students interests and likes and will always push me just enough, but listens if I say something was too difficult.
Veronica is such an amazing musician, she met me where I was at musically and can explain it in a way that I understand it. She has literally drawn charts and diagrams to help me work things out. She is kind, open, and always interested in what I want to learn about. We have lessons that have morphed from guitar lessons, to piano to song writing to production. I always feel comfortable asking music questions, I should already know and I am always excited about my upcoming lesson.

I believe in equity and honesty. I trust if my students are able to pay full price, they will, as they value me. Because of this I am on a sliding scale:
Hour: $50-$65
45 minutes: $40- $50
30 minutes: $30-$40
