Whether the student wants to focus on sheet music like Alfred Music or Hal Leonard, theory lessons and exercises, or develop their intuition and ear, I'm excited to cater the lesson plan to you.

I also work with each student to find modern music that they love and will help target their specific singing goals. Read More
