Author Biography

Karen Spurney holds a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Southern California in piano performance and has over a decade of experience in teaching piano. Karen has played with orchestras and performed in both small and large ensembles. She has produced and conducted dozens of performances for K-8 students. Karen created NOTEBUSTERS as a way to increase her beginning to intermediate students' note-reading skills, as typical music theory books do not contain a sufficient amount of practice. Her goal was straightforward and timed exercises that encourage self-improvement. She designed exercises for NOTEBUSTERS to be fun, simple, and quick, so kids of all ages (and attention spans) could benefit.
