Magen uses her background as a music teacher and performer to provide the highest quality private instruction to both children and adults. Her teaching style is one of encouragement, patience, and excitement. The result is that even her most reluctant young students now have a great passion for music.
As a composer, Magen has had her original compositions premiered by the Georgia State University Symphonic Wind Ensemble, University of Arkansas' Wind Symphony, the Eastman School of Music and Southern Methodist University. Magen's writing is considered extremely diverse with a catalogue that includes symphonic repertoire, electro-acoustic music, string quartets, music for film, even pop, rock and jazz music. She is currently published by C. Alan Publications, based in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Magen is a member of ASCAP, the Dallas Music Teacher’s Association, the National Association of Professional Women and an affiliate of Steinway Hall Dallas.
