Lisa Marie Garver is a singer/songwriter with a passion for community music. Lisa is primarily a vocalist and guitarist but also plays piano, uke, and recorder. Lisa graduated in 2011 from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Professional Music (Music Ed Emphasis) and will graduate from Western Oregon University with a Masters in Vocal Performance (Jazz, MT, and Folk). Lisa has taught in public schools, private studios, and afterschool programs. Her teaching style combines general music methodologies, CCM, folk/pop music and styles from the US. She has collaborated with other performers and teachers, learned songs and techniques, and taught music in Boston MA, South Africa, Kenya, and Guatemala. Lisa believes very firmly that music is fun-work. In other words, her classroom is a place where technical skills (aural/physical/and oral); musical knowledge; and free musical play/improvisation join to make magical, musical moments.
