Trisha has an Associate of the Arts degree and also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies. While attending college, Trisha worked as an elementary school aide teaching children the arts and the value of music.Trisha has a special way of communicating that not only is music fun, but the contentment one feels while playing an instrument is long lasting. She likes to convey to the children she teaches that music is an activity that can be enjoyed by oneself as well in a group. The Encinitas School of Music provides the perfect opportunity for Trisha. She gets to be around music, which she loves, and she is able to teach children the arts at the same time. Whether she’s teaching guitar, piano, or voice – at after-school programs or privately at the music school, Trisha gives her all to the children she comes in contact with.When Trisha was asked what she enjoys the most about teaching the arts, she responded, “sharing and teaching music to children and knowing that it is something they will take with them on the journey of life – wherever that may be – music will be a part of their life and I’ll know I was a part of that journey.”
