Whitney began her musical career learning to play the accordion from her Mother at the age of 5.   At 8 she studied piano under Jazz Great Dub Johnson, and at 10 she performed on Steinway's 100th Piano Anniversary Television Extravaganza.

Whitney began formal training in classical piano and violin while attending Holy Names School in Oakland, CA.   During this time she also studied classical piano with Concert Pianist Alexander Ludwig.

 After graduating from Holy Names, Whitney joined her mother's Music Center, teaching piano, accordion and violin. During this time she studied standard, classical and flamenco guitar, bass, flute, marimba, vibes, viola, and cello with various music teachers who worked at the Center.

While working with her mother at their Music Center, Whitney wrote, choreographed and directed several musical reviews.

At 21 Whitney traveled with a 5-piece Show Band throughout the United States and Canada, as Lead Singer and Lead Guitarist, and filling in on keyboards, flute, banjo and bass.

After 10 years on the road, Whitney decided to settle down. She moved to Vacaville, California where she performed on the weekends with her own group, The Sounds of Nirih, and taught music during the week.

A few years ago Whitney was drawn to the Celtic Harp and the Native American Flute and has added these instruments to her ever-growing list of musical instruments.

Whitney has been teaching music for over 50 years. She prides herself on making music "FUN" for all of her students. She loves working with adults as well as children, and has developed a system that allows her adult students to play whatever kind of music they want within a very short period of time.
