Instruments: Voice

For beginners I want to break down how the voice really works. Not everyone is taught how the vibrations in our throat and body impact how we hear from each other. Once we learn the human body I jump right into vocal exercises that show the vowel differences and easiest ways to sing notes that we all used to think were too high or too low. For students who want to get ready for a competition and/or audition, its important to lock in those phrases to a T and place dynamics in a song that make your audience go, wow!! Read More

My teaching experience started when I was in High School. I began tutoring other players in the high school Jazz band and Orchestra on one on one lessons for the instructors.

I maintained a large roster of students until I was 23 and my touring schedule became too busy to continue to have that many students. Read More

During my time at Belmont University, I taught music part time, as the other hours during the day were spent on class material, creating music of my own, as well as further developing methods by which to teach. Towards the end of college I took a break from teaching to focus on my career as an artist/songwriter. However, during 2021 I decided to start teaching again, which has reignited my passion for teaching and desire to spread music to others! Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass

For beginning folk/pop guitar students I use the Hal Leonard Guitar Method. For Classical guitar I use a combination of various resources, including Segovia scales, Sor studies, Guilianni right-hand studies and Frederick Noad method books. I definitely encourage students to work towards performance of the music they are working on, and try to schedule recital/performance opportunities as students deveope and gain mastery over their material. I always try to maintain a healthy balance between keeping the student working on music that challenges them,and advances their technique, with the need to have fun and enjoy the playing of a musical instrument as a means of entertainment and relaxation.
