Instruments: Piano Trumpet

As I've developed my trumpet playing and musicianship over the years, I've found that working with students has been one of the most fulfilling things I've been able to do.

I will always cater to my students wants, within reason of course.

The best part of voice lessons is that we just get to be silly and have fun! Read More

Choosing appropriate repertoire that appeals to the students and helps to address technical deficiencies, as well as showcases their natural gifts, is of utmost importance. Highest on my list of teaching goals is to create a highly inclusive learning environment, where students with a range of abilities, across intersecting social identities, feel at home in the space. To sing powerfully and technically well, from the heart and spirit, requires incredible vulnerability, and I am mindful of the different learning styles and range of vocal abilities. Read More
