Instruments: Flute Recorder Shakuhachi

I love to teach students from the beginning how to have good habits such as, breathing from the belly area. Not only practicing this to support a beautiful tone on the flute, but recognizing how developing a supportive breath practice also reduces stress.. It is also a known fact that according to Dr. Frances Rauscher of the University of California Irvine, with her presentation to the American Psychological Association's Convention, that "early music training seems to shape the young brain, strengthening neural connections and perhaps establishing new ones." Great news!!! Read More

Instruments: Voice

Hello, my name is Briona. I'm a Vocalist with ten years of work experience onboard the top cruise lines as a Lead Vocalist. As a resident Vocalist onboard I had the opportunity to travel the world and experience cultural immersion from Europe, the Middle East, Australia, China, Japan, South America to the Antarctic circle. My 1st year in college I was the worst student in voice I was pitchy and had no access to my Soprano range and through excellent vocal coaches I was able to exit college with paid opportunities and was surprised to learn a lot of my pitch issues was because I was a mezzo soprano who had always been taught to sing like an alto.

Instruments: Piano Voice

The most important part of teaching, for me, is to see my students developing a love for music.  Each student is different and will show their skills/talents in different ways and at different paces.  I am patient to let students grow in their own way while also challenging them to be the best they can be.  I love to laugh with my students and develop a rapport with them that makes them feel comfortable in the lesson environment.

I strongly encourage a great work ethic. Believe in students to open the doors to the potential that is within them to discover the wonderful healing power of music.

Instruments: Drums

I began learning how to play in middle school, when I was about 13 years old. Guitar Hero Rock Band became very popular, and it sparked my interest in playing an instrument. I attended a few lessons, but grew disheartened as I didn't grasp some of the fundamentals of playing. However, after playing Rock Band and visualizing the footwork, I immediately made the connection to live playing. Suddenly, playing became more achievable. Read More

Instruments: Cello

I believe that theory is important, but practice makes all the difference. I like playing with my students, this way, they can see my hands, and my moves and hear what I am doing. It is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I always try to end a lesson with the song that they dream to play one day perfectly. Setting goals at each lesson helps students achieve greater results. Read More
