I believe in tailoring my approach to suit their individual needs, helping them overcome obstacles and fostering their strengths. This personalized interaction allows me to create a supportive and encouraging learning environment where students can thrive. The role of a music teacher extends beyond just imparting technical skills. It's about nurturing creativity, instilling discipline, and fostering a lifelong appreciation for music. Teaching provides me with a platform to not only share my expertise but also to be a mentor, guiding students on their musical path and encouraging them to explore their own artistic expression.

I first began the art of teaching when I was in college teaching Chemistry. I know it may sound like it is not related, but teaching one subject helps you teach another! I led group Chemistry classes and continue to this day teaching chemistry to the high school and college level.

Lessons are custom depending on student goals and desired musical styles. Lessons begin at the piano with vocal warm-ups and vocalises for proper singing technique, followed by vocal exercises focusing on areas in need of strengthening. Time is also spent on breath work, posture, acting, language pronunciation and choreography, depending on the song/project. This is followed by working on pieces of music selected by both the student and I, tailored to the students needs and goals. Read More

While all of my students study the same fundamental musical principles, I believe that every lesson should be as unique as every person. That's why I always create new, customized lesson plans and provide individualized materials for all of my students. In my experience, this approach is most effective at increasing the student's musical ability—and it's a lot more fun! Rather than just going cover to cover through a method book, we'll keep things interesting and fresh by playing music games (especially with younger students), composing our own music, listening to new artists, and working on pieces that are requested by the student.

I believe that it is very important for any singer to have a music theory background, so I make sure to include in any of my vocal lessons basic keyboard knowledge. Further, I have found that it is important to incorporate all types of music in lessons. Learning all sorts of style in music is crucial to continue growing as a performer. Finally, it is important for a student to enjoy their lessons and find passion in their own music. Read More

My method is a mix of theory and practice that we apply in every lesson, I prepare my material and provide everything to you to bring back home and practice when I am not around so after every class, you will have some homework to keep advancing in your journey when I am not around. Depending on your level, we start with the basics and start scaling to more advanced topics, we start from the beginning to build up your setlist so after your first few months you should be ready to do your first show, that could be in front of your family or if you wanna prepare for a real show we work towards that as well.

Singing and/or composing their own pieces I highly encourage because I believe it is something even a beginner can do if they have the desire and it sets loose each persons creativity and lets their personalities shine. When I was in grade school I recall a lot of the teachers being quite dull and boring and thus it was nearly impossible to find interest in what they were talking about. Read More
