She began her music education with classical training but after college joined a bluegrass band and discovered the joy of folk music and improvisation. A few years later she picked up viola and was wooed by its richness and depth.After playing, composing and singing in folk bands for several years she picked up the guitar and ukulele as songwriting tools then dove into learning the ins and outs of harmony through these instruments. Today she regularly plays and sings her original music at various venues in the Portland area.Around 2010, in the midst of her own musical journey, she began teaching music to others. Her gentle teaching style has drawn both late bloomers and sensitive individuals into their own unique musical journeys.Megan teaches students through a hybrid approach of folk and classical style and strives to create an encouraging, comfortable and fun environment in order to nurture student creativity.Megan says,“There is no end goal with music, we are always learning. On this path is where we can find the joy of making music on our own but especially with others. Whatever level a student is at, they are part of a wonderful and enriching music community. I try to foster this community among my students the best I can.”
