However, I know every student is different. It is for that reason that I apply differently to each of them. I encourage my students to work toward different goals that we set up in the beginning of their lessons. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my days as a vocal performance major at West Virginia University, where I began teaching private lessons and group lessons to members of my church music ministry.

For older beginners, advanced students, and voice students I use a similar approach but with supplemental materials. Read More

Also a great opportunity to show the similarities between and differences between these two events. Read More
