Addy Himle is a dedicated teacher and accomplished performer from Aurora, Colorado. Raised in a musical family, she began studying classical piano at a young age before discovering a passion for jazz in high school.

After two years living and performing in Spain, Addy is now based in Albuquerque, where she teaches piano and voice, and performs with her band, Ruby Lamb.

Addy wants students to leave their lessons and practice sessions feeling proud of what they have accomplished, and excited to come back. She meets students where they are, making sure to focus on their strengths, while building them a solid foundation that will serve them in reaching their specific goals. She emphasizes the importance of learning by ear, the possibility of dedication without perfectionism, and the freedom of using the tools and techniques learned in lessons to both interpret and compose. She encourages a sense of self efficacy, believing that learning an instrument at an early age not only makes great musicians, but instills children with values that ensure confidence and success throughout their lives.
