ALL ABOUT ME

The Performing Arts have always been my passion, but teaching them is an even greater joy. Back in school, I dreamed of being on stage. I've been fortunate to play leads like “Dorothy” in The Wizard of Oz and “Babe Botrell” in Crimes of the Heart. Recently, I understudied “Kate McGowen” in Titanic the Musical. Though life led me elsewhere for a time—I married, lived abroad, and became a mom to two amazing kids!—my love for the arts never faded. Teaching music and theater from home in the DMV area since 2017 has been a dream come true. I've seen students achieve their dreams and it's an honor to guide them. Join me in creating unforgettable moments on stage.

TESTIMONIALS

~Casey Long, Parent

"Elle is an incredibly gifted piano teacher. We came to her with no prior music experience, and watching my daughter grow through lessons was amazing! If she has openings, take them! She’s also super affordable with the military."
