Piano and Flute Inspired by my mother’s beautiful nighttime music, I began taking piano lessons at age five. Four years later I took up the flute.
I have directed, accompanied, and participated in choirs, bands, orchestras, worship teams, and handbell choirs. Over the years I have played for recitals, weddings, funerals, art shows, recordings, accompanied vocalists, given solo recitals, adjudicated competitions, and worked as the administrator for a conservatory of arts program. I work with students to develop an individualized curriculum that incorporates their desires and goals, as well as including a solid foundation of the fundamentals. I also offer the WunderKeys Piano for Preschoolers program for students ages 3–5. No previous experience necessary! |

Voice I was born and raised here in Flagstaff as part of a very musical family and I have always enjoyed playing instruments, singing in choirs and performing in musical theater!
I have a Master's degree in Elementary Education from NAU. I was an elementary school teacher in Flagstaff for 17 years. I have also been a singing-waitress at Black Bart's for about 20 years (off and on), and I have had the wonderful opportunity to teach young children and provide very early music experiences at Music Together of Flagstaff for the past 6 years. I have two amazing sons: Taylor (24) and Isaac (15). Both of them are very musical!! My favorite things are singing, teaching, and traveling, and I feel so grateful to be able to share my love of music with kids and adults in our community. |

Charlie Lumpkins
Piano and Didgeridoo Hailing from New England, I have studied piano since 1995 and have worked as a private instructor with students of all ages and levels for over 15 years. My primary goals as an instructor are to foster musical exploration and inspire the development of creative and independent musicians. Utilizing a student-centered approach, I tailor lessons to each individual and encourage students to actively participate in their education.
In addition to my formal classical piano studies, I have studied voice and composition and performed in a touring choir, a Javanese gamelan ensemble, and in jazz, funk, and rock bands. I have a special affinity for the Australian didgeridoo, which I have taught students to build and play. These diverse musical perspectives provide me a wealth of resources to draw upon to help students on their unique musical journeys. |

Taylor Ashley
Guitar and Bass Guitar Born and raised in Flagstaff, I’ve participated in numerous musical activities from community musical theatre and the NAU marching band to open mic nights. I have been playing guitar for 10 years and teaching for five. I’ve immersed myself in the study of many aspects of music, including music theory, history, performance, audio engineering, and the music industry. I’ve also played guitar and bass with several local bands, including a five-state tour with local band Ascetic Winter.
I feel that it is important not only to teach students how to play the guitar, but also to help them set personal musical goals and work toward completing them. I focus on ear training, fretboard knowledge, and developing the skill and confidence to play whatever you want! |

Andrea Luque Karam
Piano, Flute, and Recorder I believe that learning music is much more than an artistic discipline; music is a path of passion. I have taught private lessons for seven years and group classes for four years. For me, the most rewarding aspect of teaching is learning from my students and seeing them grow as musicians and as human beings. I do not have only one way to teach music because every student is unique. Rather, I distinguish myself as a committed teacher that balances lessons with playing, theory, and composing because creating your own melodies can be rewarding and pedagogical.
I am a classical musician, composer, as well as a songwriter and have won both songwriting and classical composition contests. I have also been a columnist for The Lumberjack, worked with the Winslow Art Trust, with NAU Lyric Theatre, NAU Composition Department, and NAU College of Arts and Letters. I have run my own summer music camp in my hometown in Mexico to expand and enrich the music education of my community. |

Laurie Underwood
Piano When I was 8 years old, my parents signed me up for my first piano lesson. Playing the piano quickly became an important part of my life, and 10 years later led to a college scholarship when I was selected as my high school’s Sterling Scholar in music. In college, I continued to study the piano, music theory and history, and accompanied my college choir. After completing my B.A., I found an interest in education and took additional classes in teaching and learning.
I have always enjoyed teaching others and through the years have taught piano lessons, snowboarding, art, tennis, and even search and rescue dog handlers. Since moving to Flagstaff 5 years ago, I have worked as a preschool teacher, and have also spent many hours volunteering in the elementary schools with the Masterpiece Art program. My goal as a piano teacher is to help inspire a love of music that will draw the student back to the piano day after day. I will adapt lessons to fit a student’s learning style, needs, and goals, and will do my best to make the learning process an enjoyable one. |

Rachel Gildner
Piano I grew up in the small, coastal town of Morehead City, North Carolina where I began taking piano lessons
at the age of 5. My first piano teacher inspired creativity and expression even in her young students. She emphasized the importance of connection through music. This is what I aspire to do with my students today. After studying classical piano repertoire for over 10 years, I attended the Florida State University to continue my music education on the Horn. Since graduating with my degree in Music, I have taught a rigorous schedule of over 40 private and group piano lessons a week. Throughout my career, I have created and ran successful piano summer camps, played services for local churches, tutored students on piano in Nicaragua, and been active with my personal practice and growth. I moved to Flagstaff, Arizona in 2017. Currently, I'm offering private and group piano lessons from ages 5–100 years old at Infusing Music Studios. In addition to teaching, I'm training to become a yoga teacher. I enjoy being in nature, eating delicious vegetarian foods, and spending time with my friends and family. |
