At our Vancouver, WA-based music studio, I offer private saxophone and vocal lessons designed to meet you where you are—musically, technically, and creatively.

Hi, I’m Cara — a vocalist, saxophonist, and proud mom based in Vancouver, Washington. Music has been a lifelong passion for me, and I’m grateful to have turned it into both a career and a calling. I currently serve as a musician with the 204th U.S. Army Reserve Band, performing in groups ranging from jazz and rock to brass and big band ensembles.
As a teacher, I believe music lessons should be more than just learning notes — they should build confidence, creativity, and a genuine love for making music. Every student learns differently, so I take a personalized approach that meets them where they are, helping them grow at their own pace while still being challenged and inspired. personalized instruction to meet each student's unique needs.
As both a performer and a parent, I understand the importance of patience, encouragement, and structure in helping kids thrive. My goal is to make lessons a positive, engaging space where students feel supported, excited, and proud of what they’re accomplishing.
Saxophone is bold, expressive, and incredibly fun to play. Whether you’re into jazz, classical, rock, or modern pop, you’ll learn how to control your sound, develop your tone, and grow as a player. In saxophone lessons, you'll learn:Proper posture, breathing & embouchure. Tone development and intonation. Reading music and rhythmic skills. Scales, articulation, and technique. Performance skills and stage readiness. I teach alto, tenor, soprano, and baritone saxophones.
