Liz Limon began her musical journey as a young band and church choir member at the age of 9. Over the years, she has explored a diverse range of instruments including saxophone, guitar, piano, bass, vihuela mexicana, violin, and drum set.

Additionally, she enjoys playing the drum set for fun.
Liz’s passion for teaching stems from her enjoyment in sharing music with others and witnessing her students’ achievements. Her favorite aspect of teaching is the joy music brings to her students and their families. Liz has been involved with the Lakeside Pride Latin Band and draws inspiration from artists like Sarah Vaughan, Mon Laferte, Paquito D’ Rivera, Mariachi Reyna de Los Ángeles, and The Beatles.
Her teaching philosophy is student-centered, focusing on meeting students where they are, catering to their interests, and building from there. Liz believes that anyone can become a musician through dedication, practice, and perseverance. Her teaching motto is, “Learning starts from the inside, teachers help find the kindle and give it the spark it needs to burn bright.”
Liz teaches various genres, including rock, pop, classical, Latin, and R&B. Students are advised to bring their instrument, music, and a pencil to lessons. Her favorite music books and resources include Suzuki Method Books, Essential Elements for Winds, and Chordify for play-alongs. Liz views Melody Mart as a place for everyone to discover and nurture their musical talents.
