For beginner students who are children to adults, I like to start by finding out if they have any experience is in singing. I like to get to know what they like, if they have any goals, artists or songs that they really love and why. I love to connect the dots at any age because then I can create a custom plan and understand which practices to take. Once this is covered, I will see what they're range is on the piano. Read More

The method I begin with depends on what the student responds to best.  I first try to show them how enjoyable music is and how they can share it with family members and friends,including popular and holiday music and songs they may sing at church. Some students even like simplified jazz. I start holiday music in October and enjoy knowing how much their parents enjoy hearing and singing it. Read More

Teaching music is a very rewarding experience. Its often nice to see a student to be able to open their eyes and understand the music concept. Every child is different.

At the age of 17, I flew to Hollywood, CA to attend Musicians Institute where I studied Bass Guitar Performance. Learning from and playing with some of the best musicians in the business was amazing. I left school to hit the road with my first professional band. I spent the next 20+ years writing, recording and touring all over the country. I was lucky enough to be in a few bands that landed indie recording contracts, which allowed me to tour nationally doing original music, with songs I had written being played on radio and on TV shows across the country.

As a teacher, nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student excited about their progress! Studying voice is process. It is my job to lead and guide each student at his or her own pace. I push students to their full potential, while providing positive reinforcement and setting realistic goals. Singing is very personal, and can even be frightening for new students. I develop trusting relationships with my students, so they are free to express themselves and push themselves beyond what they even dreamed possible! Read More
