Tara’s father was a banjo player, and she grew up listening to his trio playing ragtime and jazz/blues music to silent movies, as well as, at “sing along” venues.  As an adult, she taught herself violin but later moved onto classical and jazz piano, which is where she resides mostly to this day, along with her take on certain pop music and vocals.  Currently, she is a student at the Berklee School of Music, using their online platform.  Having worked with children earlier in life, she is looking forward to combining that experience and knowledge with the joy and love of music with “children” of all ages.
