Mary J. Trotter

I am a lover of text and melody, which is why you’ll most often find me working with singers. A pianist by trade, I recently completed my doctorate in music and hope, one day in a post-COVID world, to teach at the university level. In our current COVID world, I’m enjoying offering virtual piano lessons to people of all ages and abilities. Do you have a child itching to start lessons? Are you a retiree in quarantine, looking to return to something you haven’t done since childhood? I would love to help further you on your musical journey! Send me a message through my website, and I will be in touch.

Heat Speak

Heat Speak is an indie band led by singer-songwriter multi-instrumentalist Dario Ré. His impassioned poetics sung in English and French are supported by dynamic musicianship and intricate arrangements to create a unique blend of indie folk, chamber pop and world fusion. The project began as a trio in 2014 in Spokane, Washington. The group formally banded with a full line-up following their 2017 album, Aspen Artichoke (released under the eponymous band name Dario Ré). At the end of 2018, the group rebranded as Heat Speak in preparation for their 2020 album release, To Love Wind.
