About Bobbie

Bobbie is nationally certified by the Music Teachers National Association as a professional music teacher. She has been teaching piano for 30 years, both privately and on the college level. She holds degrees in music education and piano pedagogy.

Bobbie keeps current with academic thinking and practices in piano pedagogy through professional journals and attendance at workshops and conventions. She is also a member of the Frederick County Music Teachers Association.

Her students, both children and adults, have progressed to high levels of competency. Her goal for her students is that they understand as much about music and how it works as possible, enabling enjoyment to go hand in hand with skill.

In the piano studio, Bobbie constantly checks and double-checks the students' understanding, growth of technical skills and general maturation of musical knowledge. She also encourages and coaches the parents in how best to help their children in daily practice...something she feels is of paramount importance.
