Music Lessons in Elverta, CA

Instruments: Voice

There will be bi-weekly master classes that students have the option of attending to perform for other students, and learn from watching (This is a big learning tool). But as I said it is optional. The student will always be working toward their goal while enriching their musical taste.  I really enourage live performance, and will provide ample performance opportunities. This of course will go through parents first in regards to any students that are minors. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding then seeing my student progress and overcome the difficulties of starting to play an instrument.

My teaching style nurtures the students love of the instrument while tossing in technical details along the way! Especially when beginning a new instrument, acknowledging goals that a student has, or songs they would like to learn to perform is essential to helping that initial eagerness to continue throughout lessons, and to help the student feel accomplished in their instrument. Together, the student and I will set realistic goals for them in their instrument to complete songs, technical aspects, warm ups, etc. and I will help them to achieve those goals. Read More

During college, I began as a music major and received further training on piano as well as took three semesters of music theory courses. Read More
