Under one roof
One identity. Three kinds of work.
For more than twenty-two years, my work has moved between music rooms, classrooms, community projects, and the written page. Today, I bring it all into one place instead of maintaining three separate professional identities.
Make things clear.
Clearer structure, stronger copy, and practical resources for schools, churches, and community organizations.

Music lessons
Music with Mrs. Stevens
I teach piano, violin and fiddle, viola, cello, guitar, voice, and musicianship to children and adults in Grangeville. Lessons may be private or small-group, depending on the students and the schedule.
Every student arrives with a different combination of ability, temperament, interests, and goals. I care about strong foundations—students learn how to make real music and understand why it works.

A small studio with a long history
Prodigy Private Instruction, LLC
I have taught since 2004 and earned my B.A. in Music Theory & Composition from The College of Idaho in 2010. I incorporated Prodigy in 2014; at its largest, the business employed ten people and offered both music instruction and academic tutoring.
These days, the studio is smaller, more personal, and almost entirely devoted to music. I still accept occasional tutoring students through established families and referrals.
Websites & editing
Websites designed to serve your community, not feed algorithms.
I help schools, churches, and community organizations make their websites clearer, easier to navigate, and more useful to the people they serve. The work may involve reorganizing a tangled site, rewriting pages, finding missing information, or building the practical forms and resources visitors actually need.
My background in search engine optimization and AI training helps me write for actual human beings without making a site invisible to modern search tools.

Composing words that reach the human soul.
I have extensive experience ghostwriting for companies—marketing copy, emails, and blogs—but most of my own writing time is currently devoted to books. The projects range from speculative fiction to practical nonfiction and devotional theology—different shelves, perhaps, but all concerned with how people make sense of creation and live faithfully within it.
Essays, book updates, and selected published work will be added here over time. Ghostwritten work will remain confidential unless a client has specifically authorized attribution.
Ask about a writing project
I’m a Catholic wife and mother, teacher, musician, and writer based in Grangeville. I teach music and assist with parish music at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church. I’m also deeply involved with local schools, creative communities, and homeschool co-ops.
My own education took an unusual path. I started my first business at twelve, graduated from high school at thirteen, and went straight to college on both music and academic scholarships. Over a whopping ten years of higher education, I studied music theory and composition, creative writing, biochemistry, mathematics, and education. Those experiences gave me a lasting respect for unconventional learners—and a firm conviction that success is built on passion and discipline, not raw intelligence or natural talent.
My work grows from a practical question: What does my community need, and how can I help bring it close to home? Depending on the week, the answer may involve creating music, designing websites for local businesses, planning homeschool curriculum, writing a blog, hosting a playdate at the park—or simply getting the right people into the same room.
At home, I’m the rare outspoken introvert. I love puzzles, the outdoors, homemade beer, and silent retreats. I bake sourdough almost every day and give much of it away. I value solitude, but I also believe good things are meant to be shared. Most of all, my life is centered on my children, my husband, and my Creator.
