Lisa earned her state certification as a music teacher in 1989 and is experienced as a public school
music teacher. She taught through the Preparatory School of Music and Dance at Vermont College
for approximately 10 years, from January of 1987 until the fall of 1996, including private lessons,
group classes and ensembles, and camps. She was very actively involved with the transitions of the
music school in becoming the independent Monteverdi Music School, including serving as treasurer
during the interim, contributing the school's slogan, "Bringing Families and Friends Together Through
Music," and contributing to the formation of the school's mission statement. Once the new music
school was established she opted to teach independently from her home to be near her young
children. She has maintained an active independent teaching studio since that time, including
group classes, flute choirs, chamber ensembles, and flute camp, while home schooling her two
children through spring of 2008.
