I'm an experienced singer and teacher and love sharing the joy of discovery of sound and music with children and young people. My degree is in classical vocal performance and I've lived all over the U.S. and maintained a teaching studio over the last 20+ years. I've taught early childhood music, led choirs for children, teens and women and have worked with many schools and churches.

My first experience with teaching voice started in my college days as a children choral class instructor (6- 7 years old) at Yip's Children Choral and Performing Arts Center, a reputable music learning centre in Hong Kong. After graduation, I taught at International Christian Quality Music Secondary and Primary School as an applied music teacher in voice, focusing on the one-on-one student teaching. I also have held community masterclasses for my church music group to teach and demonstrate the fundamentals of good singing. Read More

I would say words like ENERGETIC, DILIGENT, INTELLECTUAL and SUPPORTIVE are words that would describe my teaching style. Nothing is more rewarding to me than seeing one of my students develop a practice and passion for music! I encourage student's by setting realistic goals at each stage. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

I have been teaching students since early high school, starting on teaching middle schoolers classical clarinet. I did not teach much throughout college, as I had a very busy schedule entailing performing, rehearsing, composing, arranging, etc. However, I have taken pedagogy and education courses in both jazz and beyond, learning the methods and skills needed to teach students of all ages! I believe learning and playing what you love early on is the key to developing on your instrument, and the key to developing YOUR sound! Read More

Concepts from vocal warm ups will be applied to repertoire, and students are expected to practice on a regular basis outside of lessons. Read More
