Throughout her youth, she would pick up several more instruments, learning to sing and finding her voice alongside her love and a lifelong passion for the whimsical world of music.
Julia completed the Piano Suzuki program and her RCM 10, and ARCT by the time she was 18. She pursued other interests and graduated with a Psychology Degree from The Kings University in 2018, but ultimately returned to music and completed the Piano Performance program at Juilliard in 2020. Julia loves teaching all ages and a variety of instruments. She takes pride in helping students build a solid musical foundation. She loves how music can inspire and support individual expression. Instruction in music production and music play adds to her skill set. Julia strives to connect with every type of student and guide students to their goals and beyond.
