I’m Leah
and I teach Song Language — unlocking the power of expression and regulation within you. I am an AuDHDer who loves music in all forms.
With viola performance and teacher certification degrees from the University of Washington, I have taught in school and private music lesson settings for more than 20 years, helping people express themselves and create community through music.
I write children’s books and create and perform music with a mix of jazz, folk, and meditative songs using violin, viola, cello, and vocals.
I met my husband on the swing dance floor while on a trip to Sweden. And, I now live in Stockholm with my family, where I enjoy singing with the birds.
Why work with me?
3 Countries
Living and working across three cultures has deeply shaped how I listen, teach, and create.
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest (USA), spent a year teaching in India, and now I am based in Sweden.
25+ Years Experience
I understand both the challenges and the transformative potential of making music.
In addition to school teaching, I’ve taught private lessons in violin, viola, cello, bass, piano, and voice.
2,100+ Students & Alumni
Through school programs, private lessons, and ensembles, I’ve taught instrumental and vocal music across diverse settings.
This breadth of experience now informs my work with Song Language as a tool for regulation and expression.
