My teaching style is centered on the intersection between neuroscience and music. I love exploring how the brain works and how we can take advantage of that to make our practice as effective as possible. For example, did you know that a lot of the absorbing information that your brain does happens while youre sleeping? Or that a technique called random practice is more effective than blocked practice? In addition to supplementing my teaching with my neuroscience degree (in progress), I also think that it is my job as a teacher to make motivation and inspiration as easy as possible for the student.

I enjoy sharing with my student of what I learned from my teacher and my performing experience. When the student come to our lesson, I encourage him or her starts with a tuning note and scales. It helps the student to warm up their sound and fingers and get ready for the lesson. It is important for all of us to know that there is no hurry during lesson and practice. Read More

I believe that a good teacher helps students teach themselves. Most of a students learning will be done on his or her own at home or in a practice room, so a teacher must give them the necessary tools to succeed, as well as constant support and encouragement. My goal is to teach healthy, grounded singing, no matter what musical style my students are interested in pursuing. I focus on balanced and centered body alignment, accurate body mapping, an easy breathing technique, and vibrancy/flexibility in sound. Read More
