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.

Jenn Tarrant

Jenn began playing piano at age 5 and singing at her church at age 6. She has been in love with music ever since; working her way through elementary, Jr. High and High School in various choirs, auditioned and show choirs, and too many recitals and concerts to count! Jenn’s degree is in Vocal Music Education. She taught High School Choir for 3 years and has taught private voice and piano for 3 years.

Jenn loves to perform as much as she likes to teach and has spent hundreds of hours on stage playing keys and singing both lead and background vocals. She loves to help students find their own voice and confidence through music; guiding students to express themselves through song. Jenn is very excited to be a part of North West Valley Musical Arts and looks forward to helping students learn and grow.
