D'Arcy is an award-winning pianist and composer who has taught music for over 30 years in Northern California.  She is committed to encouraging the creative life of young people, and her work with private students and composer residencies has engaged and inspired children to achieve a high artistic level. She teaches classical, jazz, and pop, to children, teens and adults.  Students learn improvisation, sight reading, keyboard harmony, and songs from their very first lesson. Practice videos and fun musicianship apps make the lessons come alive for practice sessions.

Her interest in world music has taken her around the globe, including a tour in South Africa with the Sontonga Quartet where she was featured in the documentary “Inner Landscape”. Her compositions embody multi-cultural fusion, so musical influences from jazz to Argentinian tango, to Cuban montunos, to Indian raga are threaded throughout her work. She performs her chamber music throughout Northern California with her longtime colleagues from the San Francisco Ballet and Opera Orchestras. D’Arcy holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in piano and composition from Mills College. Teachers include Terry Riley, Katrina Krimsky, and Emilio Solla.
