I believe that real learning and development occurs during individual practice time--not in lessons. Lessons are the time for me to check in, give guidance, offer motivation and encouragement, correct errors, and brainstorm solutions, but progress can only be made with daily, deliberate work on the student's part. To this end, I like to use a practice journal with my students, in which I record weekly objectives and the student logs practice time and writes reflections. Read More

Instruments: Voice Music

My teaching experience began in college when I start teaching my first voice students in 2017. I have taught voice lessons to beginners who need help matching pitch.

I thrive off of my passion for music, and the same goes for my teaching style. I will take you through every turn of learning your instrument, but the responsibility and the style of learning ultimately relies on how the student will best receive the information. I learned music completely different than the way my best friend and band partner learned how to play - and they were both viable methods. Read More

I use books recommended to me by the music stores, Opus Winds in Decatur, Ga. I also consult with other music teachers at times and shop for music that my students tell me they would like to learn. I also tell them they can shop at musicnotes.com and I will help them learn to play pieces they like.  There is something to be learned from the way any genre of music is composed. Read More
