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! |

Alisa Ashley
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! |

Marshall Crocker
Classical Guitar and Electric Guitar After growing tired of playing the baritone in elementary and middle school band, I needed to find a new instrument to give me the creative outlet I was looking for. I picked up the electric guitar in 8th grade and never looked back. I'm now a senior guitar performance student at NAU. I've played a solo recital for my junior year at NAU, two NAU honors recitals, electric guitar and synth in the NAU pep band, award ceremonies, plenty of open mics, coffee shops, parties, and more. I've studied music theory extensively, including western classical and jazz harmony. I can teach ear training, sight reading, transcribing sheet music and tablature, practice habits, routines, and getting over performance anxiety. I'm a classical guitar student at NAU, but I started as a metal/progressive rock guitar player. I can also teach folk and finger style playing, which I've studied quite a bit in Flagstaff.
While learning technique and theory is extremely important, I feel that learning to love the instrument you play and having a good mindset about music and why we practice is invaluable. |

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. |
