About	Stephanie’s love for playing piano started at age 4 and continued on to her college years. After completing a Bachelors of Music Education from Wheaton College Conservatory of Music (IL) and receiving her K-12 music teacher credential, she also studied music therapy at Chapman University and achieved Level One certification in Orff-Schulwerk. From 1992-1998, she used all this training to bring the joy of music into the lives of students especially those with special needs such as autism and ADHD. Starting in 1999, music took a backseat to the concerns of starting a family and moving overseas. After many years, Stephanie’s love for teaching music was rekindled by her discovery of the Simply Music program. Stephanie is now a licensed teacher in both Simply Music, Simply Music Rhapsody and Simply Music Gateway. She is always inspired when she sees how quickly and easily these programs help students discover the joy of playing and creating music. Stephanie teaches both in-person and online lessons.
