I am a fun and patient instructor with over fifteen years of professional teaching experience, and many more years performing. I earned a degree from the University of Northern Iowa, where I studied both Music and Philosophy. I immediately began teaching music in my private practice, and have been helping students achieve their goals ever since. I have taught for local schools, as well as national chains such as Guitar Center and School of Rock. Read More

My experience has been primarily in choral music, working with students in the concert choir, show choir, musical theater, solo and small ensemble, one act and full length play genres. My students learned to be successful performers through dedication and discipline. I tried to give them many opportunities through performance to become better human beings as well as better performers. I encourage them to be excellent and enthusiastic musicians, and passionate life long musicians. Read More

I like to keep a fun and positive environment during my lessons. The student is encouraged to share his or her musical interests, as we will focus on the style and genre the student is interested in. Practicing is definitely important to success as a musician, but we will work together to find an appropriate level of commitment. This is a stress free zone. Anything else will hinder creativity and motivation, two key ingredients to musical success! Read More

Instruments: Voice

For beginning voice students who are late elementary/early middle school, much of the learning will be on breathing and posture as well as being expressive as they sing in addition to basic music skills. Their warmups are likewise based on those points. Intermediate students who are in later middle school and high school will focus more on singing with a clear tone that is not breathy nor strained as well as more intermediate songs, including introduction to foreign language pieces, or musical theatre tunes.

Instruments: Voice

I was always singing in school and church choirs and started taking lessons privately at age 14, continuing to do so for over a decade. My background as a singer is primarily in performing musical theater, but my fascination and knowledge of how adaptable the voice isnt limited to the one genre! Read More
