I am passionate about teaching students to sing.Breaking skills down into component parts is essential so that each student feels their own independent success in each lesson.My teaching style gives students a sense of accomplishment and also encourages them to work to the best of their ability. This success is balanced with constructive feedback that motivates students for greater accomplishments. Read More

Instruments: Voice Bass Guitar Double Bass

I hated school when I was younger. I will never let my lessons feel like school. We work at each individual students pace. Once warm-ups and whatever key technique we are talking about that day are covered the lesson turns more into an educationally structured band practice. My students know they can let go and just sing. If something needs to be worked on, we work on it, and I will give notes and how to fix things throughout. Read More

Methods utilized are rooted in finding natural and healthy ways to produce a vocal sound. This stretches to all ages, as voices can and will change throughout one's lifetimes for a number of reasons. By beginning with gentle exercises and warm-ups, we can establish the student's vocal abilities and range, allowing me to create a curriculum around each individual student that ensures that will be creating music in a healthy way.

Instruments: Trombone

I started teaching private lessons during my undergraduate degree at Northern Michigan University. I partnered up with the local middle and high school to teach one on one lessons as well as group sectionals. For the year and a half that I taught this groups of trombonists I learned a lot about how to cater my teachings to each individual student, as not everyone learns in the same ways. I have done marching band, concert bands, orchestras, jazz bands, funk groups, brass bands, trombone choirs, and even rock groups over the 15 years I have been playing the trombone. Read More

I rely on Alfred's Piano Library as it's proven to be a thorough approach to learning, exercising and memory. After some discussions about what resonates with the student, we will both explore options we can really dig into and present in concert format later. I will also introduce counter material for a better overall perspective of how things work, why they do and don't work (depending on the setting) and to better understand those same elements in different contexts.
