I have spent my life developing my skills, building incredible relationships with other artists and professionals, teaching dozens of successful students in my studio and in master classes, and have performed for audiences around the world. Please feel free to review my complete and short biographies and/or my performance and experience resume.

Many friends, collegues and associates have been generous with their praises of my talents. Here are a few:
Dear Lisamarie,
... You have realy been a true ambassador of peace through you music. I still can not forget the native twin flute you played at the old capital of the Mughal Empire (India). It was truly majestic.
My prayers and good wishes for your Performance.
...with lot of affection

INDIA…
Alive…Vibrant…Magnificent!!!
First of all, I want you to know that if it were possible for me to impart everything that I experienced in India to you, I surely would. Since we all experience the world through our own unique perceptions and senses, the best I can do is share a small part of my deeply enriching experience. ;o)))
