Mrs. Parker started playing piano when she was 4 and added violin when she was 8. She participated in several competitions and festivals in high school, including Western States Honor Orchestra, All State Orchestra, All State Choir, and won 2nd place in the All State Choir Accompanist competition. She also won several awards in the TASHCO Young Artists’ Festival in both piano and violin and was a member of the Denver Young Artists’ Orchestra. She then went to Brigham Young University where she played and toured with the BYU Philharmonic Orchestra, and graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Music in Music Education with a String Emphasis.

She now teaches private music lessons out of her home. She started the Orchestra Academy as an opportunity for students to learn string instruments.

“Lisa started teaching my oldest son violin 🎻 two years ago. Since then my daughter has also joined, learning to play the viola, and my youngest can’t wait until it’s his turn! My kids have learned so much and have progressed so much because of how Lisa keeps them motivated to learn new things with their own instruments. Thank you Lisa for all you have done for my kids!”

“Lisa is AMAZING!!! My daughter started taking violin lessons through her a few years ago and not only are we impressed at how much she's learned but also how much Lisa helps grow the love of music in her! We are so grateful that she has continued with our daughter and also gives her clear expectations of practice! Lisa is SO kind and an incredible musician herself! Our daughter looks forward to her lessons and we all look forward to the recitals!!”
