Voice Lessons Multnomah County, OR

Instruments: Piano, Voice

For beginning students within the elementary age who are interested in voice lessons, I usually focus on learning notes,rhythms,a few basic piano skills, and breathing. I will also focus on singing favorite songs and telling the story of each song. For older students, singing technique and song interpretation are what I like to focus on. I try to give my students songs that are challenging, fun, and that work with their personalities. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice

My students describe me as patient, fun, understanding, and challenging. :) For the shy ones, I like to get to know them, and see what I can do to get through to them and get them to open up to music. For the adventurous one, I dare them to go on adventures with me. For the self-critical ones, I become their voice of encouragement and love. For the over-confident ones, I open their eyes to more challenges that will demand more of themselves. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I have taught a variety of ages and styles, from young ones learning to harness their enthusiasm for music, to adults breaking through their own anxieties to let their inner voices shine. I have also had some experience with teaching a chorus, which included a variety of backgrounds and ages, to learn to project and harmonize with one another. I believe your voice is like any muscle, and with regular practice, determination and exercise, you can reach your goals! Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Synthesizer, Keyboard

I started learning piano as a child, but it was in high school that I realized I really wanted to pursue playing keyboards, because it allowed me a way to express myself. I later attended Mt. Hood Community College, famous for its jazz program, where I played keyboards and sang in select choirs and vocal jazz groups. After graduating, I directed the college Gospel Ensemble for two years before working full-time at a large local church, where I was Music Director, a worship leader, and keyboardist. Read More
