Nicki Park

Northwest Valley Musical Arts was founded by Mrs. Nicki Park. Mrs. Park has spent many years in both private and Christian education teaching General Music, Band, Creative Arts and Choir. She is also active in a local church music ministry as a singer and keyboard player.

"Music has always been an influence on my life. It has been my God-given gift that is a constant inspiration and motivation to pass on through this organization. I love knowing that I have the ability to give a student a gift that can possibly influence and change their life."

Mrs. Park's latest venture is the production of her debut c.d. "Better Than Yesterday." This c.d. is a compilation of many original songs about overcoming adversity through Faith. She has also recently founded a non-profit organization, House of Performing Arts, which will provide a building for music and dance programs in the N.W. Valley.

Amber Dixon

Amber Dixon has been playing piano for 26 years and composing since age 13.  She worked with the Seattle Symphony during composing workshops prior to going to college and still loves to compose to this day.  Amber studied piano and musical theory at Northwest University, in Kirkland, WA.  She also produced a CD, “From the Heart of a Rose,” in 2001.  These original pieces capture her story as told through the piano.  Her most recent accomplishment is the publication of her children's music book, "Childhood DreamScapes,” to be released by Piano Press in January 2010.

Joshua Foster

Josh Fosters musical talent spans widely into songwriting, performing, recording and engineering/production.  His childhood love of music turned into a career of passion and pursuit into the independent music industry.  He performs regularly with his pop/rock band, Manufactured Defects.  He also works with his band and solo act performing the more mellow pop/blues music under Joshua Isaac.  His talent for singing, songwriting, and guitar playing measures up to his passion. 

As an instructor, he is able to share that passion with his students and encourage them to want to reach the next level and pursue their musical goals.  He also works as the house engineer for our organization producing our students' annual c.d.s giving them a really cool recording experience!
