In addition to recording an album of original music, I have had the privilege of working as a live musician. I have played in a touring band as the lead singer and keyboardist, and have also performed hundreds of gigs as a solo musician. Events/venues that I have played at include weddings, fundraisers, parties, clubs, bars restaurants and more. It is my goal to help students reach a level to where they are able to receive a steady flow of paying gigs. Read More

My goal as a Strings Instructor is to have my students be exposed to all the wonderful music that is out there in the world and to develop an appreciation for it. Some students haven't even decided what their favorite music is when they come to me. Students enjoy discovering music and it is my goal to guide them. I like to have students write out their goals as performers and musicians. Read More

No two students are the same. I pride myself on catering to each individuals need and desire. I do give every student the same basic foundation, but after the foundation is set, the continued direction is entirely up to the student [parent]. In previous years, I've had students who wanted to be the next Beyonce, some who need better technique, and some who just wanted to build upon what they already had. Read More

I work with each student in regard to his/her own singing goals- whether they be for therapy reasons, recreational/hobby, academic/school, or professional reasons. I customize lessons to include these goals and to work with the singer's strengths and weaknesses. Every lesson includes vocal warm-ups that are tailored to each singer's individual voice and gifts. Repertoire is aimed at satisfying and expanding these goals. Because of my Musical Theatre and Church Music background, I can especially help students who are aspiring or working professionals in these genres. Read More

I want my students to be successful. I will give them to tools to need to learn to language of music. I will direct them to the materials to help them with that goal. When I was a kid I remember walking out of teacher's studio feeling like a stronger drummer than I did the previous week. I want my students to have that same feeling of accomplishment. I acknowledge students' growth and realize that everyone moves at their own pace. Read More

My teaching philosophy is that students blossom at their own pace. Some concepts might be more difficult for some to grasp than others. Students may excel in some areas and struggle in others. I teach sustainable and kind methods of practice and learning. I believe that a teachers true job is to teach a student how to practice. I encourage short and long term goal-setting. I believe that what keeps any musician coming back to the woodshed is enthusiasm. Read More
