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. This led her to train at the Colorado Conservatory for the Jazz Arts, and then go on to earn a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Piano Performance with a minor in Theatre from Metropolitan State University of Denver. After two years living and performing in Spain, Addy is now based in Albuquerque, where she teaches piano and voice, and performs with her duo 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 intersection of dedication without perfectionism, and the freedom of using the tools and techniques learned in lessons to not only interpret music, but to create one's own compositions. She encourages a sense of self efficacy, believing that learning an instrument not only makes great musicians, but instills people with values that ensure confidence and success in their daily lives.
