My teaching philosophy is "exploration as a road to mastery." I help students build a repertoire they can perform. This tends to be a combination of songs they know and love, and songs that I introduce them to. I introduce the elements of music theory in relation to songs. Scales, harmony, and ear training are grasped better, and enjoyed more, once a student has context. My goal is to have each student feel safe in the learning process, while still pushing them out of their comfort zone. Read More

Half of each lesson will be dedicated to technique and half of the lesson will be dedicated to a piece/tune that the student has chosen and wants to work on. I structure my lessons this way so that way the student has agency in their own learning and can learn the things they want to learn, while also building a strong technical foundation Read More

I'm all about getting a good laugh in here and there. MUSIC IS FUN, FOLKS! If it's taken too seriously, it can cause stress and stress leads to tensing the muscles. You can't get much work done with tense muscles or by overthinking now can you? I once heard a brilliant professor put it like this: "Good voice technique combines an understanding of what's going on in your body and also being really aware of your mental process." I think this is very important. Read More
