Regardless of their ages, I always attempt to establish what a student's interests in music are as well as their background and present faculties if applicable. From there, I attempt to develop an understanding of musical fundamentals (pitch, rhythm, timbre, dynamics) as they apply to their interests. It is crucial in my opinion to connect these essential elements of music to the context of a student's musical world. I have several books that I use regularly for examples and also, I write individual exercises for more specific issues with a student's technique and approach. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Efficient and consistent practice is the key to doing anything well. If one wants to improve then they must patiently and consistently build the skills they need to be successful. There are no shortcuts, especially when pursuing a life as a musician. To elaborate on what practice is and is not; practice is not singing a song multiple times until you like the product. Practicing is warming up: vocalizing, practicing scales, executing vocal techniques to improving mobility, flexibility, control and higher quality sounds. Then after one has successfully warmed up, which can take 30 minutes to an hour depending on the voice type, then practicing a song includes working on rhythms, pitches, translations if the song is in another language, and interpretation. Then practice small sections of a songs and identifying problem areas. Practicing is taking time to learn a song. The order should be Text/Translations, Rhythm, Pitches, adding words to pitches then interpretation. The process of practicing and learning a song is lengthy but rewarding, and the end product speaks for itself.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any child is ready to take voice lessons if they show an interest and passion in it. One thing to remember is that not everyone grows at the same rate, so progress maybe be slow and gradual versus having instant growth. Honestly, true growth in the vocal field won't begin until after puberty has occur, and maturation of the vocal chords have begun, but anybody at any age can begin to build musical skills, a highly trained ear, performance confidence and an ability to interpret a song as to make it their own.
When will I start to see results?
Results depends on the age and how advance the student is already. I believe with consistent practice and instruction results can be seen in a month. Again, people grow at different rates so patience and encouragement is the key. Also, with understanding comes more confidence.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The instructors that inspired me to pursue music were my middle and high school choir directors. They were amazing, kind and talented instructors that instilled a love for music and teaching within you. They encouraged me to continually improve, and to keep the love of music no matter what field I went into, and to keep singing. This stuck with me throughout life since and I decided to pursue music as my career. It was my college voice teacher that inspired me to pursue performing. I didn't think I was good enough and he convinced that I was and established a love for performing within in.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master with the voice is consistency. Our voice are constantly changing and aren't the same everyday. Any little thing can cause are voices to feel different than what they would normally feel like. Sometimes we're tired, sick, emotional or are just having an off day, so we try to change our entire singing technique to compensate instead of doing what we know works. Its also hard to memorize sensations, good and bad. The good sensations lets us know when we are doing things correctly and the bad ones tell us when we are not. Trusting the good sensations and consistently sticking to them can be fairly complicated even though intellectually it makes sense. Consistency is what everybody, including high level professionals strive for, and is the hardest thing to do.
