My goal is to develop a personal and holistic plan to teach each student. I do not believe in nor was a I a product of 'one size fits all' teaching. Music is a very personal and rewarding lifelong journey and I take special interest in developing each student's love for music and his or her instrument. Read More

Instruments: Voice

My method is the chest mix head method. I teach lessons about chest, mix, and head voice and how to smoothly transition between them and eventually have them become one. I help students find their range, I teach proper breathing techniques and warm ups that are right for helping them reach their full voice potential and even assist with choosing the perfect song for auditions and give audition confidence prep tips from someone who has auditioned and made performance roles in musical theatre productions in Pittsburgh Pa.

As my teaching evolved and matured and sharpened I never lost the most important ingredient,HUMOR, AND TRUST! It is and should be understood that you are a professional trying to do the best for your students. You as the teacher are teaching a form of art, which is no mystery. The simple key to mastery of a art form whether it be in music or some other related form such as dancer painting, or acting is doing it over and over and letting it mature into something wonderful and productive.

Regular practice is essential for all developing musicians as it tends to produce continuous musical growth and passion for their instrument.

Instruments: Double Bass

Although my initial emphasis is on the traditional Simandl approach to position playing, once the student has gained an appropriate level of technique, we will focus on the student's stylistic goals and musicianship. I encourage the student to bring other materials to the lesson, for example a school based music assignment or ensemble part or recording or any piece of music that the student wishes to learn. My goal as a teacher is to maximize a students potential, practice intelligently, and explore the utter joy of bass playing together. Read More

Instruments: Flute

I have been playing the flute for 30 years! Back in school, I performed and competed actively. I love to play and love to teach. In another life, I would be a professional musician, but for now, I play in my spare time and try to encourage others by teaching. I know the feeling of performing and helping others feel emotion with music. I also know how great it feels to master a difficult piece of music. Read More
