Instruments: Voice

My teaching experience goes all the way back to when I was about 12 years old. I would teach parts to my local choir, as well as choirs around my community. I’ve worked with people my age as well as individuals who were old enough to be my parents. Singers would join with no singing experience or ability & leave with new skill & confidence. Through the years i’ve found that most people have the ability but lack the confidence to be a good singer. Read More

I find that watching my students grow and learn more about themselves and develop a passion for music is one of the best feelings in the world as a teacher!

Each student is unique, therefore each student's lessons will be structured differently and have different realistic, individualized goals. Read More

I find a combination of modern, jazz, and classical music can go a long way in helping students enjoy music and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. My students are encouraged to enter competitions, recitals, and college auditions, as well as composing their own material. This way they can feel good about their progress and stay motivated to continue learning. I am always looking to bring on new students regardless of skill level. Read More

For beginners, I teach them basic exercises and the fundamentals needed to play their instrument. Once they have that down, we can talk about what repertoire to learn. Then, I will teach them the songs they want to learn, as well as any techniques they are curious about. For an intermediate and higher level students, the direction of the lessons is more in their hands. I teach them whatever they want to learn, while also making suggestions for things that they can improve on. Read More
