Dorla Pryce Aparicio, M.M., (or MissDorla, as her students affectionately call her) has been teaching early childhood music, private and group piano for more than 30 years. She received her undergraduate degree in piano performance at the University of Montemorelos in Mexico and a Master of Music degree in piano pedagogy  from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas.

After six years as Early Childhood Music Coordinator at TCU’s Music Preparatory Division she continues to maintain a full teaching schedule with more than 80 students in her private studio, and as adjunct piano instructor at Southwestern Adventist University in Keene, Texas.

MissDorla is a member of MTNA, ECMMA AND NGPT and enjoys networking with other music teachers around the country. She is married to Jose, who attends every recital with a smile. Together, they have one son, who is also one of her star piano students. As a homeschooling mom, she saw the need for quality music curriculum for homeschool, which she is now developing.
