Instruments: Piano Saxophone
At all ages, my lessons begin with a composition and theory-based approach. We spend time talking about music, form, and function to gain a greater understanding of the art. Musical concepts are often-repeated, so what is learned once can be applied again and again, and I use this to establish and build upon a solid foundation so that we can make reasonable strides toward the student's goals. In addition, my lessons are goal-focused, and I make sure that everything we learn builds toward a single goal. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone
I like to utilize the methods that work best for the individual student. I am not a rigid, one approach only type of teacher. I find the student is more likely to succeed when I adapt to their individual learning style. For example, if you are a more digital/visual person, then I have plenty of books and materials we can work out of. If you prefer to learning by ear and through listening, then we can practice a I do, then you do approach. Read More
Instruments: Piano Oboe English Horn
I prefer books in the Bastien series and the Faber Faber series, but I have used a variety of courses with students, all with success. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
My first lesson with every prospective student is an assessment of the student's interest and ability. From there, each successive lesson builds on current skills. The primary focus of my instruction is to keep the student challenged, while the lessons remain fun. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Euphonium Music Keyboard
With beginning students, I tend to focus on the fundamentals for the instrument, and music. An adequate grasp of the fundamentals, along with consistent practice and rehearsal times, lead to a student expediting their abilities. At this point, I will start distributing solo repertoire/literature and duets. I always encourage my students to perform for one another and to their friends and family. Not every student learns the same way. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Acoustic Guitar
I love teaching music! But, what's more, I throughly enjoy sharing the gift of music with my students. I believe that passion fuels action. If I want my students to be actively engaged in the learning process. I have to do my part as the teacher and involve the student in the music choosing process, before I can involve them in the music making process. If my students are clearly not passionate about the song that we are working on together in lessons. Read More

When will I start to see results?
You can start seeing results immediately! Of course, there are some things that require more attention that others. Some bad habits are less noticeable and harder to break than others. But for other things, the difference can be like flipping a switch! There are a lot of things about singing well that are easy to understand. The problem is often that, unless someone points out what you're doing wrong, you can go your whole life without really noticing what it is. You might be able to listen to a recording of yourself and know that something is off, but figuring out what it is and how to fix it is a whole other issue. That is where getting a trained teacher can be so valuable.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Whether it's singing along with one of the middle vocal parts in Toto's "Africa," or singing Bass in a barbershop quartet, I always think it is so much fun to make harmonies. That is why I've been in so many choirs and small ensembles throughout my experience as a musician, and why my Ph.D dissertation is all about studying harmony.
Singing has also been a great help to my personal life. Improving your singing voice can be a very personal journey. There is no hiding faults, and no way to shift the blame to something else. But having the confidence to get up and sing in front of a crowd of people is a great skill to have. If you can sing in front of people, you will find that giving presentations at work, networking, and meeting new people all tend to come much easier.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
There is an old saying, "practice makes perfect." This isn't exactly true. If you practice in the wrong way, improvement can be very slow, or sometime reinforce bad habits. That is why having an instructor is so important. Conscious, planned practice is what makes perfect. You have to know which techniques you are practicing, and what to listen for in order to make sure that you are doing it right.
Another important thing to remember is not to overdo it. The voice is a delicate instrument, and it is easy to damage. 30 minutes a day practicing is plenty. The main thing is that you practice consistently. Without regular maintenance, good habits can break while bad ones creep back in.
