Ena is always singing!

Music has always been one of my best friends. I enjoy music most when it is shared with the natural joy of children. I started teaching voice, piano and guitar in 2003. It's the best job in the world, getting to watch a child grow through the magic of music!

I studied music at Clark College where I studied voice with April Brookins Duvic. At Portland State University, I studied voice with Margaret Daane and piano with Connie Titterington. I also attended Marylhurst University and studied voice with Pollyanna Hancock Moody and piano with John Haek.

From an early age, I participated in musical activities. I also have theatre experience, which ranges from childhood productions to improv comedy groups. I have been in over a dozen years of choir as well as various musicals like 'Oliver' and 'The Sound of Music'.

It is the joy of music that I shared with my late mother that built such a lifelong foundation. Singing and sharing with mom gave me some great tools for a successful life, but most importantly, it created an unbreakable bond between her and I and myself and music.

I received my BFA in Music from California State University, Chico where I studied classical guitar, classical piano, traditional and electronic composition, and synthesis. I love coffee, sweets and I am vegan!
