I am very flexible with my teaching methods and put together the best style matching the student's learning strengths. Furthermore, I update and change my methods if I feel the current method is becoming ineffective. I keep my lessons interactive with the student because the time is for the student to retrieve as much information as he/she can regarding their instrument and they can build a stronger week of preparation heading into the next lesson. Currently my most used methods are teaching via classical, pop & jazz, and Suzuki methods. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
I believe one can grow as a musician at any age, expertise, and understanding. I do use printed method books for my students to guide them along the process (Hal Leonard, Rubank, Taffanael and Gaubert Bernstein to name a few) for the child, methods and scales will be assigned to teach proper technique and positioning. For the adult, depending on their interests, different types of reading music material will be introduced. Read More

I really enjoy watching my students grow into their own and gain confidence in themselves and their musical abilities. Every person is a unique individual with a unique skill set that they bring in with them -- so I encourage each student to go at their own pace. Music should be fun! So I also like to ensure that we're exploring areas of music that interest the student. It's important to figure out what really inspires them. Read More

I'm a firm believer in self motivation. Having a good teacher is important but having a great student is paramount. I love to develop concepts that work for the individual student whom I'm relaying ideas to. Whether it is theory or academia or the idea of honest expression, all these facets of teaching have always been inspiring to me. I can mock up many different playing situations to accommodate any level of player. Read More

I create my own lesson plans. But I create after having related to my client. How you learn determines the plan. My preference is to teach to the song. I like my clients to pick four to five songs to learn. We need goals, and there is nothing better than being able to play a song you love,and sing it too! I teach beginning guitar and piano as well as bass. Read More

I tailor my instruction to the students wants, needs and abilities. It's a creative environment every week and I try to make it fun and rewarding. We set goals for each week and I review what they want to learn on a regular basis. It has to be fun! When they are having fun they learn more, it's easier and they want to continue. Learning the basic elements of their chosen instrument is a place to begin. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice where you have privacy, sometimes you have to belt the note to get it and knowing your sister is in the next room sometimes makes us want to hold back. Don't be afraid to try something new and just go for it. If it doesn't come out right then that is new material for our next lesson. Don't be afraid of the mirror. Use it to watch your body react to the things we talk about in lessons. And practice your breathing. I want you to breathe from your diaphragm so often that it becomes the only way you breathe.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If you're child asks, they are ready. I started when I was 4 or 5. It may not go smoothly and there may be a break in their desire for lessons, but even if a child stops after a few months, when the time comes for them to start again they will be able to recall all those early lessons and bring back that existing knowledge. Do Not ever force your child to take any sort of music lesson. They need to find the passion themselves. And it is never too late to start lessons either. You have never missed your chance to start exploring your own voice.
When will I start to see results?
This is solely dependent on the student. It may be the first lesson, it may be the 10th lesson. Somedays a student is going to walk out of lessons feeling on top of the world and as if they accomplished everything there is to know about voice. As such somedays a student will walk out feeling let down by themselves or like they sounded terrible or took steps back. The nature of the beast is the vocal instrument is your body, so everything you do has an effect. But to see results that can happen as early as the first trial lesson.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had the amazing opportunity to work with many incredible teachers. My vocal coaches Frank Pitts, Bruce Bennett, and Sandra Dudley have all become great friends of mine. They have never stopped pushing and believing in me even when I didn't. And now I am an international selling recording artist. Also my earlier teachers like Mr. Alan MacNair pushed me to get here. He was the first person to be honest with me about the work that was to come as I began music school. I would not be here if it wasn't for the many (too many to list) teachers who have inspired me.
