Our Story

Dan and Venita moved to Pagosa Springs over 17 years ago, after teaching in Southern California for 26 years. They have a passion for teaching students and enjoy watching musicians grow and learn.

Dan and Venita have successfully trained students to compete at state-level competitions, and their groups have consistently received high-level awards. Many of their students have gone on to become teachers or performers in their chosen field.

Dan and Venita are both involved in many of the music performing groups within the Pagosa Springs community. Their desire is to keep developing quality musicians to compete in competitions or just to grow as a musician for their own personal enjoyment.
