Hi Angela Toone NCTM here! "Yes", it's a musical last name, and "No" it's not a stage name! I really am married to the amazing Tyler Toone, (and not just for his name, he's pretty much a superhero.) We have 4 kids of our own, who all play the piano. Anywho...I have been studying piano since the age of 5, with teachers like Patricia Kelsey Graham and Bonnie Winterton who fueled my desire to start teaching my own piano students. I graduated with a BA in Piano Performance from the University of Utah, where I studied with Jeffrey Price and took Piano Pedagogy classes. Loved it. Now I have over 20 years of experience teaching piano out of my home studio in Utah. I continue improving as a piano teacher as a member of the Music Teachers National Association, even completing my National Certification in 2021!
I participate as a local board member of the Utah Federation of Music Clubs and once I even took a course "Jazz Piano for Music Teachers." I've recently pivoted to pedagogy, teaching teachers how to teach! It's a Musical Life!
