About Donna
I have been the head of vocal jazz at the University of Denver for 17 years and have develped a passion for helping musicans supercharge their musical abilities in voice, piano, jazz improvisation, composing, arranging and theory. I hold both a BM and and MM in music at the University of Denver and have received numerous awards as an educator. Please visit my website for more information, recordings, and examples of my compositions and arrangements. (concealed information)
Some musical concepts seem unattainable to certain students. I love seeing the "lightbulb" go off in a student's head when they are finally able to do something difficult. Their excitement is just the best thing in the world for me!
When I was still working on my BM degree, students started coming to me to take lessons beyond the training they were getting with their primary instructors. Those students started showing some real progress and I have been hooked ever since.
I have a BM in Vocal Performance and and an MM in Conducting from the University of Denver's Lamont School of Music. Straight out of my masters degree, they hired me to head their vocal jazz program. I have also studied with several master jazz musicians; Lynn Baker, Eric Gunnison, Art Lande and Jeff Jenkins. In the summer of 2018 I completed all three levels of Somatic Voicework TM with Jeanie LoVetri at Baldwin Wallace University.

We begin by talking about your goals both short-term and long term. After that, we'll make some music together so I can get a good idea of where you are at. Then we will discuss a plan for helping you to acheive those goals.
I work with students who are at a relatively advanced level and are either already professional musicians, or are on their way to being professionals. The youngest students I take are college-bound high school seniors.
Be open and honest when talking to prospective teachers and don't try to be the student you think they want. Be 100% authentic and you will find the perfect instructor.
My favorite thing is seeing my students performing live and absolutely killing it!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Take some time to assess your short-term goals, your long-term goals, your current level of expertise, and any challenges that might be standing in the way of acheiving your goals.

I've been taking jazz piano lessons with Donna for a couple years now and can't recommend her highly enough. She's dedicated to the craft and truly passionate about her students - clearly demonstrated through her unending variety of work with the university, private lessons, and other individuals/groups. She is patient, adaptable, and always happy to share a lifetime of experience as a performer and educator - a true class act.
She is so easy to work with and I have improved to no end since I have started working with her. She has expanded my range, smoothed my voice, and helped me try out different music styles! This is the best teaching experience I’ve ever had!
