Instruments: Voice

My passion for singing dates back to when I was a child, singing in choirs and performing in churches. In 2011, I graduated from the Greatbach School of Music at Houghton College, earning a bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance with honors. I have been blessed to perform in several regional theatre productions, as well as two off-Broadway shows. I have brought my love of coaching and teaching to these productions. I was the vocal captain at La Comedia Dinner Theatre in Ohio, and the music director for an off-Broadway production. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I like to start with either the Rubank Elementary Method or Hal Leonard's Essential Elements, as I find these provide a strong foundation in proper technique and sound, and reading music.

I have about 25 years of teaching experience. I have been teaching at music schools with a variety of skill levels and musical instruments.  I love children, and they love me. I always feel that I am welcome in students' homes. After every instruction with me, I encourage students to practice on their own. I can tell if there is progress or not. Children should be playing and enjoying and having fun during lessons. Read More
