My methods vary from student to student, but a constant in my methodology is doing what I can to make the student fall in love with the instrument in their own way. Some students progress better with curriculum and disciplines right off the bat, while others need the instrument as more of an expression and an outlet, so Ive learned to respect that. If the student seems to take interests in the disciplines of the instrument right from the start, my go-to curriculum for guitar is Mel Bay. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone

For beginning students I believe a foundation in learning the notes on the instrument is important, as well as matching up those notes to the paper. A solid theory application is appropriate. For intermediate and advanced level students developing a style and interpretation of music is how to grow exponentially. I focus on building rapport with all students, but with advanced it is up to them to grow in musicianship. Read More

Like many singers, I grew up with a love of music. I began singing in church choirs and honor choirs across the country at the age of 8 and started voice lessons at the age of 11. I was in many musicals throughout my teen years and decided to attend college to study opera at Louisiana State University, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance in 2012. In 2014, I completed my Master of Music degree from the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University. Read More

My approach to teaching is to make sure my students have fun while they're learning and growing. It's important for students to learn to have fun while playing the same scale or rudiment over and over, and I think this is entirely possible! I also think it's important for students to see just exactly what their hard work is striving them toward. Setting up realistic goals for them and then helping them achieve them is pertinent to the process. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 4+ years ago, I had been teaching them out of my home. Encouraging regular practice is a key point I impress upon my students, with that being said, if a student isn't having fun in their lessons, I am not doing my job, Singing shouldn't be a chore! I especially love working with those who are proacticing for auditions of any type, professional, high school, choir, solo, theatre, or allstate. Read More
