The main objective that I personally strive for is to ensure that my students are properly recognized for their hard work. I've seen many instances when kids will stop participating in extracurricular activities due to lack of positive support from those they would expect it from. I believe that validation, especially from the parents, truly helps students maintain an interest in music. It helps them develop a personal drive to succeed not only in music, but in life.

Greetings future student! I have composed, performed, taught, and produced music for 25 years now. One way I continue to experience the joy of music is by passing along what I have learned.

I don't live vicariously through my students. Read More

For adults I like to see what suits their personal interests and then work together to achieve their goals through mentorship and collaboration. Read More

As a performer and life-long student of singing, I can empathize with challenges that students regularly face and may encounter in the future. Students needs can be broken into intellectual, physical, and psycho-emotional categories. To the first, I facilitate learning by establishing a goal-based partnership with each student. Using guiding and open-ended questions throughout lessons, I encourage each student to be curious and intentional about the singing process. This method challenges students to better evaluate their growth and recognize changes in their vocal technique. Read More
