I try to provide a good balance between working on theory, technique, and repertoire, and working on aspects that might be more fun like a students favorite song. This allows the student to make progress while also keeping motivated, which is really important for long term goals. For children, the balance has to lean more towards the more entertaining aspect, because of the reduced attention span. I actively work towards getting the younger students to increase their tolerance towards difficult challenges so that they can make more overall progress. Read More

I like to design my lessons to fit the student's needs. I'm laid-back, easy going, and patient. What's most important to me is that the student is having fun and is comfortable. Giving back what I have learned is very rewarding for me. We will set realistic short-term and long-term goals building a solid foundation. Read More

Instruments: Voice

Regardless the ability level of the students and their goals, in the lessons I cover the two pillars of vocal art: Technique and Expressivity. We will work on our posture, breath management, resonance balance, articulation, registers and we will also focus on the dramatic part of singing, creating a dramatic circumstance for each song we explore. There must be a reason for you to say the words you are saying, singing is about sharing a message! Read More

I believe you already on your journey to who you want to be, so it is just a privilege to help and watch you get there. I am big on encouragement as well as introspection, so that when I'm not around, you know the questions to ask to work through any challenges you may be experience. Getting you out of your comfort zone is also a focus of mine. A lot of people are closer to their goals than they think, if they would just try. Read More

I have always enjoyed teaching private lessons because it allows me to tailor the lesson to the individual students needs. This is not always possible in a classroom situation. I am patient with my students but I expect my students to practice four to five days a week. My goal is to get the students to enjoy the process of learning new music. I realize that my students will not take piano lessons forever so my hope is to get them to enjoy the process of learning new things in general. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I began teaching at the age of 15 and found it to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I taught several competitive dance teams to children of all ages, as well as teaching private voice lessons to fellow choir members, friends, and fellow pageant contestants. As I grew more confident in my legit soprano voice I started offering my services in classical training and music theory, and found my methods to be very successful with students. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been teaching piano and voice students for the past 7 years and have really come to enjoy the experience more and more. Encouring regular practice is definitely key, as well as giving the students a chance to work on pieces they are interested in. This tends to, in my experience, make them even more interested and motivated to practice and hone their craft. I am looking forward to bringing on new students! Read More
