Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer

I have been teaching music, mainly guitar and piano, off and on for almost 15 years. My style varies on the age of the student, what they hope to achieve and where their strengths lie.  I feel it's important for the student to learn the fundamentals while simultaneously having fun with their instrument and exploring the music they feel passionate about.  For me, the trick is inspiring the student to pick up their instrument everyday and want to play it.

This gives you the foundation you need to sing music from Bach and Mozart to Folk and Pop or Broadway-style music from shows like Cats and Hamilton. My experience in professional theater sets me apart as a teacher who can help students develop artistry, and sing expressively to touch the hearts of those who listen.
