Instruments: Piano
I require my students to put in the work to make these lessons a worthwhile investment, but I think the most important thing is to retain the joy of taking piano lessons. I don't want practice to feel forced, however I do think there is a certain amount of will power that goes along with learning a skill. Therefore, I require students to do a time minimum of practice appropriate for the age and skill level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Djembe
I teach lessons to any grade/age group. I have an extremely open mind to teaching and music in general, so nothing goes out the door in terms of philosophy, however, I've come to realize that some methods work better than others. That said, I tailor my attention and focus as an educator to the needs of student I'm teaching in front of me. I don't consider the student who just walked out of the lesson or the student who is coming in next. Read More

While receiving my masters degree in Vocal Performance at the University of Kentucky I became a teacher at a youth arts academy, Academy for Creative Excellence. I never envisioned myself as a voice teacher, but as I grew to know my students and see the impact of the arts on their young lives it has become a true passion of mine.Since discovering my love for teaching voice, I myself have sung more musical theatre as it is the most popular genre I teach.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Music Keyboard
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My parents put me into violin and piano lessons when I was 4, so I started very young. A musical education was always a necessary part of my life per what my parents believed, and as I have grown older and made this a career, I value this greatly. When I started doing musical theatre, I realized how much I loved to sing and that this was what I needed to do with my life. As an adult, I added the ukulele into my skills in order to accompany myself when a piano either isn't available or when I am traveling and need a small instrument to take with.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was probably 12 when I decided to become a professional musician. I auditioned for my first musical theatre show: Cinderella Goes to the Hop. I was cast as a step-sister. I completely fell in love with music and theatre due to this show, and I haven't looked back!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes! All of my closest relatives are either professional musicians or have incorporated playing a musical instrument into their lives! My dad and his siblings grew up playing instruments and are all professional musicians now as well as their children!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have no clue! I have always done music and theatre. Life would feel incomplete without it. I have a few other passions such as photography and traveling, but I love those as hobbies. Once upon a time, I wanted to be a lawyer. Maybe I would have become a music industry lawyer!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
This depends on my mood. There are periods of time when I only want to work on my musical theatre rep and times when I only want to work on pop music. I love such a variety of music!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have always been super passionate about Musical Theatre. I did shows in middle school and high school. Life felt truly special when on the stage playing different characters, so I decided to be a Musical Theatre major in college. After a few semesters, I realized that I wanted to add more music education to my degree, so I added Music (Vocal Performance) as a second major.
When will I start to see results?
This can vary on a few things. How many days a week are you practicing? How long are you practicing per session? Are you practicing effectively, or just running through your materials once? What is your age? Have you had any prior musical background before beginning this instrument? What is your learning style? Lots of things can factor into when you will see results. Every person is different, so there is no set timeline. However, you are in total control in your progress speed.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm extremely proud of being able to perform at Lollapalooza with Bishop Briggs. This moment was so surreal that it's still hard to believe it. In 2022, I performed at McDonald's WWC with Musicality, and P!nk opened for us on one of the days. We had no idea this would be happening until we were waiting for the curtains to reveal us. Such an amazing and exciting experience!
