Marlena has always had a love for music, especially the ability of music to express feelings and stories beyond words.  In 2005, she was introduced to Simply Music and became the first Simply Music Teacher in Utah. Her enthusiasm for teaching grew and she knew that she wanted to expand her musical education to include early childhood music classes. She completed her training with Lynn Kleiner's Music Rhapsody Program in 2012.  She loves being able to teach, connect and empower her students, of all ages, through their musical journey.  


Early Childhood Music classes

Lynn Kleiner’s Music Rhapsody Program is designed to address each age of childhood development with beautiful songs from various genres, repetition with variety in activities, instruments and movement. Use of puppets and visual aids engage children and deepen their fun and love of music. This program acknowledges the innate abilities and joys of children and allows them to blossom with every stage of development.

Simply Music, created by Neil Moore, is a playing based approach that has you playing quality sounding music with both hands from your very first lessons. Students learn to play the piano before they learn how to read music, just as we learn to talk before we learn to read and write. All genres and styles of music are explored: contemporary, blues, classical, accompaniments, jazz and more while also developing your skills to make your own improvisations and compositions. The learning is fun and easy!
