About Me

Darby started piano lessons at age 8, followed by lessons in violin, cello, and eventually voice. She played violin and cello in school orchestras, including a time for live TV. She performed in piano recitals at a young age and was inspired to teach children to do the same once she got older. She studied at Cedar Valley College in Lancaster where she received a certification in Recording Technology and learned music production through Pro-Tools and use of MIDI. She went on to receive a Bachelor’s of Applied Arts and Sciences degree in Management, Communications, and Piano Studies from the University of North Texas in Denton. With over 8 years of teaching experience in over 8 instruments (Piano, Violin, Guitar, Cello, Voice, Bass, Drums, Ukulele) Darby has used her skills to travel around the DFW metroplex as an independent contractor, working in-home, in-studio, and online lessons for 8 different companies. Darby enjoys Soul and RnB music, attending festivals and concerts as well as working them.
