About Me - I’m Danielle, a pickleball coach based in Oregon City. Pickleball, for me, is about the joy of moving, learning, and having fun together. I teach locally outdoors and in Troutdale for indoor lessons. Approach - I’ve spent six years creating a supportive, low-pressure learning space where players can grow at their own pace. Who I Coach - I work primarily with women of all ages and body types and athletic ability who want to learn with a growth mindset and kindness toward themselves. How Lessons Work - Each session is tailored to you. We choose one technical and one tactical skill to focus on, start with some rallying, and build from there. My Why - If you’re ready to learn, laugh, and grow, I’d love to help you take your next step on the court.

I’ve been a working musician and instructor for over 25 years, teaching guitar, bass, piano, and music theory across a wide range of styles. While I specialize in Gypsy Jazz and advanced jazz theory, I’m also fluent in the genres most students want to learn — from blues, rock, R&B, and neo-soul to gospel, worship, and modern Christian music. For guitar, I teach everything from improvisation and theory to authentic Gypsy picking technique. On bass, I focus especially on gospel and pocket playing, building solid groove and feel. On piano, I cover jazz harmony, gospel voicings (including four-way close / locked hands), and neo-soul textures. I help students bridge the gap between theory and sound — learning how to express what they hear in their heads, not just memorize shapes or scales. Whether you read standard notation or just tab, I break things down in a way that makes sense and connects directly to the music you want to play. Beyond technical skill, I teach from experience — through years of real struggle, personal transformation, and the realization that music can be a true form of freedom. I’m here to help you grow not just as a player, but as an artist
