Im an elementary music teacher based in New York City! I moved to New York just over 8 months ago from Louisiana. I have loved getting to experience the creativity and art scene in the city, and am excited to further my teaching experience here. Before moving, I taught voice lessons for 6 years! I have taught all ages, from 3 to 90 (and am willing to expand!) My goal is to help people to understand their voices, and to just have fun. Read More

I have been teaching students for more than 7 years from beginners to professional performing artist. My methods of teaching is tailored to each individual students as I understand that general methods of teaching a performing art does not apply to all students. Practical methods on practicing and understanding the importance of a musical piece is critical and I will be guiding my students to make sure that they gradually learn this as our lessons goes by.

For younger students and all of my students who want to learn how to read music I start with the Mel Bay Guitar Method Vol. 1. As we progress through that I usually start giving out more reading that is complimentary to the direction that the student is going in.

Batuta supports underprivileged Colombian youth by providing them access to free music education. During my time in Colombia I also volunteered as a Digital Arts Instructor at a Creative Arts Center and wrote an album of music inspired by my new surroundings. I believe music, and other art forms, connect us to something far greater than ourselves.As an educator, I approach each and every student I teach holistically, and enable them to make these deep connections through the music.

For beginning students, I typically start with the Suzuki Method while combining it with the Essential Elements Method. As the student learns the fundamentals I gradually add scales and exercises to further develop the student's technique. After further progress, I begin to introduce solo repertoire and add other pieces. I'm fairly flexible on what pieces the student may play in the lessons, as long as the rudiments and classic repertoire are covered. Read More

I have been singing and performing for over 10 years and have found so much joy and fulfillment through doing so.

In 2013 I graduated with my masters degree in vocal performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Since then I have had the great fortune to perform on both the West and East Coasts as well as in Germany and Italy. Read More
