Her undergraduate studies occurred at the University of the Pacific\, where she earned a BM in piano performance\, summa cum laude\, after which she attended the Conservatoire National de Région de Paris for three years where she won a premier prix. \nA Nationally Certified Teacher of Music and a Washington State Visiting Artist\, Lark teaches at Pacific Lutheran University where she instructs applied lessons and accompanying and coordinates the group keyboard program.

A few easily incorporated practice strategies can greatly increase progress and make practicing more efficient. This presentation will delve into fascinating research on how the brain learns and how this relates to music and practicing. Offering innovative and practical advice\, topics discussed will include organization\, spacing\, the effectiveness of interleaved (random) repetition\, first-time retrieval strategies\, performance preparation\, and common practice mistakes. With strategies to overcome the challenge of getting started\, making improvement that sticks\, staying focused\, and planning the next session\, this presentation will suggest ideas that can make practice rewarding and effective. Strategic practice techniques create transformative changes\, which can be seen in overall progress as well as in performing comfort and success.[/expand]
