Sonya Clark enjoys teaching immensely, and is always excited to meet new students. It is a rewarding experience for her to help others grow through music. She feels fortunate to have had the opportunity to study with a wide variety of teachers, as it has exposed her to many different teaching styles and techniques which she can pass along to her own students.

Sonya holds an M.M. in Piano Performance/Pedagogy from UW-Madison, where she studied under the guidance of Todd Welbourne and Jessica Johnson. She has been an active member of the MTNA-UW collegiate chapter, an organization of graduate students committed to bringing music to the community.

Sonya received her B.A. in Piano Performance, Cum Laude, from Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO, where she studied with Dr. Lisa Campi.
