Viola and Piano

Haley began her musical journey at a young age with private lessons in both piano and viola. She later expanded her focus to orchestral and chamber music, continuing her education at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS). During this time, she served as principal violist at UCCS as well as at the neighboring Colorado College, and was subsequently appointed Assistant Principal Violist of the Chamber Orchestra of the Springs.

Following her move to Berlin in 2019, Haley performed with a variety of ensembles, including in Nairobi, Kenya with The String Archestra and notable performers such as Marius Müller-Westernhagen.

Now based in Southwestern Germany, Haley is looking forward to performing and teaching in the 'Dreiländereck' region (Germany, Switzerland, and France).

For over a decade, I have taught piano and viola to students of all ages. I believe every learner is unique, bringing their own strengths and perspectives to music. My teaching approach focuses onhelping each student recogniye those strengths while developing critical thinking skills, empowering them to grow musically, academically, and personally. I also encourage consistent practice, as it plays a vital role in meaningful progress and long-term success.
