My passion is composition. I write all my own music and lyrics, and I play all the instruments in my songs. I have no limit to the type of music I am willing to write. If you ever need music, lyrics, or vocals, Please contact me

All songs on my page are engineered/produced by My Husband Tim Staump and recorded in our home studio! In addition to playing, I teach privately. I teach over forty students of varying ages a week. I have contracts with California Music Studios and the Music School. I also teach independently in my own home studio. I can instruct you on piano, guitar, and trumpet. I include music theory, ear training, and compositional techniques in my lessons. I also play many different types of music, so I am able to modify lessons to suite the needs of my students. I have my degree in music, and also an ASCAP Singer/Songwriter. My album Mi Vida Bonita will be released February 16th 2008!! God Bless, Maria
