Music With Confidence

Miss Diana’s music career started from the age of 2 learning ballet and tap and absorbing the music from her father’s orchestra rehearsals and performances in San Francisco.  She began piano at the age of 4 and violin from the age of 12.  She always sang (her first solo performance was at the age of 5 before parents and children from her elementary school). She auditioned before the great teacher and Operatic star, Frederick Jagel, who accepted her as his student.  Within 2 years she became a regional finalist for the Metropolitan Opera Auditions.  Miss Diana has performed in Operas, Musical Theatre, and concerts and has also produced and directed various shows.  Miss Diana performed for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s 20^th Anniversary on the Supreme Court in New York City and was the soloist for the International Music Concert in Bern, Switzerland. She has produced and directed and teaches voice, violin, acting, and piano to children for more than 7 years.  She has a B.A. degree in Humanities and a J.D. in law; had a law firm in Silicon Valley for 20 years and then founded and developed for profit companies for another 20 years.  For more than 30 years Diana has helped children with special needs in literacy programs as well as using music to engage and enhance their well-being. Diana has focused on helping children with autism for the last five years and has had a great deal of success in improving their development utilizing the performing arts as tools.
