My style is rooted deeply in performance and dramatic interpretation. We will work extensively on microexpressions, which are genuine expressions provoked by real emotion. If we think of real experiences when we sing that we relate to, it will transform the performance and bring it to life. The performance will be more believable. My goal as a teacher is to help you give your best performance that allows the audience to have an emotional experience. Read More

I tailor my teaching to each student's needs and interests. I emphasize overall musicianship in addition to learning to the fundamentals of the particular instrument, splitting most lessons 50/50 between fundamentals on the instrument and musicianship skills such as music theory, sight-reading, sight-singing, playing by ear, and composition or improvisation. For students in a school band or orchestra program, I will work with them on their band music and bring in additional material as enrichment. Read More

I remember when at the age of 8, learning piano that my enthusiaism was overflowing, My instructor was strictly classical and I discovered Boogie. I was so dissappointed not to broaden my horizons and we parted ways. Music appreciation in public school gave me a wide range of influence to choose from. Sharing with other musicians also gave me experience to grow. Read More

I customize each of my lessons to fit the needs of each particular student. I take into account the goals of each student, and this is something we will discuss regularly. We will typically spend some time on various technical exercises and studies, and then work on different pieces that we will choose together. I always like to hear if there is a certain piece that the student would like to play and will try to incorporate this into our plan. Read More
