About Liliana Burke

Lili is a renowned multi-instrumentalist and teacher based in Dallas, TX who specializes in piano and woodwinds. From a young age, Lili has been passionate about all music. She grew up listening to the greats, such as Frank Sinatra and Benny Goodman. She grew up in a small town in rural Pennsylvania, and, after graduating, learned that she had to move somewhere with more musical opportunity. Lili spent countless hours practicing to be the best she could, and her hard work paid off. She was a clarinet section leader for two years of high school and spent most of her high school career in the band room practicing. She learned piano under Monica Zheng, as well as a bit of trombone. She studied clarinet and saxophone for four years under Phil Forlano. She loves to incorporate fun into her lessons, as she is a firm believer that music isn't music without fun!

Outside of teaching, Lili loves dabbling in creative writing, composing, and video games.
