Andrea TenBarge has been teaching flute in the East Valley of Phoenix, Arizona for over 20 years. Graduating from Arizona State University with a Bachelor’s in Orchestral Performance she established her roots in Phoenix and knew after working on her Master’s at Indiana University under the professorship of world renown Thomas Robertello that Arizona is where she would form her studio. Being active with the Arizona Flute Society, Andrea TenBarge often teaches masterclasses, judges for both ABODA and AFS and performs at various camps and events around the Valley. Within her large studio, Ms. TenBarge has formed and conducted regular flute choirs varying in age and levels. She has conducted Arizona’s Alla Breve choir and recently was asked to form and direct a choir of students to perform with Aralee Dorough of the Houston Symphony at Phoenix Symphony Hall for the final Gala concert of the National Flute Convention this August. She has also performed in an authentic Tango group, Che Tango, has played for the Phoenix Theater and works closely with the Higley Unified school district growing an elementary flute program helping encourage young flutists to engage, grow and flourish in their band programs. Andrea TenBarge resides in Gilbert, Arizona with her husband and two children (10 & 14) that keep her very active and “young.”

Music has always been a huge part of my life! From the time I was very little, I had a knack for music that led to me starting piano lessons at age 4 and joining children's choirs at age 8. I took voice and piano lessons throughout my teenage years and was in every choir and musical I could be in high school. From there, I studied music at Brigham Young University through the Humanities program (long story). In 2008 I got married, moved to WA state, and we started a family. I started teaching piano shortly after my first child came in 2009 and have been teaching ever since!

I’ve been teaching piano in the area for 20 years. I especially love working with kids of all ages and levels. I’m passionate about finding music that students are excited to play and helping nurture a life-long love of music.

A professional performer and recording artist for many years, Tim has also been providing private violin and viola instruction for over 25 years. His students are often among the top players of their school and/or community orchestras. Tim is a classically trained player and most of this students follow the same path, but he has performed in various styles over the years, from Americana to Irish to New Age, reggae and more, so he's more than willing and able to teach according to a student's desires if they prefer to delve into different genres. In the past several years, he has released several ambient/New Age CDs with keyboardist Tom Moore that have received international recognition and airplay. The latest, "Going Home", lead to the awarding of the People's Choice Award given by One World Music in the U.K., a huge honor. Tim offers lessons both in his home studio and online.

I've been teaching piano in Arizona for almost 10 years. I have a strong musical and performance background with a few years of music education in college under my belt. I focus on teaching technic, theory, and performance technic while growing my students interest in exploring different genres.

I’m a New York Native who moved to the Valley of the Sun to study Music at Arizona State University. I completed my Undergraduate and Graduate degrees in Music Education with a vocal pedagogy and piano emphasis. I’ve had the privilege of working with highly trained piano and vocal instructors throughout the years. They’ve taught me so much, and it would be an honor to share my knowledge with you. Music has been a life-long companion of mine, and it can be for you as well. Let me be the one to take you on the musical journey you’ve always dreamed of.

I am a traveling private piano teacher to students in the East Valley. I received my BM in piano performance at Arizona State University and have been teaching since 2014. My focus is to give my students a high quality education in classical piano and music theory while helping them explore their interests in other genres of music. My goal is to cultivate a love for piano and foster an independence to explore and learn music for the rest of their lives.

Growing up in B.C. Canada, I realized my musical goals through numerous competitions and was able to study and receive my Piano Teaching Degree from the Royal Conservatory of Music. Since then I've been teaching private and group lessons for over 25 years. During this time I have taught many successful students who have pursued their musical education in colleges around the United States. Teaching beginners through advanced students, prepping for exams and competitions, along with many recital performances, has brought me much joy over the years. Spending time playing the keyboard in a band has brought another level of knowledge to my studio. Improvising, adding in voice, recordings and electrical elements, have added a more diverse understanding of our modern day music. I believe a strong background in theory is incredibly important for all musicians and greatly adds in all directions my students may take. My goal to help my students develop a love for music and choose the right path for each individual.
