Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Organ Ukulele Electric Violin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar
I have been teaching since High School, but it wasn't until my first year of college that I started teaching music. After 6+ years of teaching in my home studios in both Austin and San Antonio, I enjoy a variety of students learning violin, viola, cello, piano, guitar, and even certain music software. My greatest lesson in teaching is that no two students are alike; one student may be more traditional and focused and have no problem learning to read music, for example, while another student may have little to no attention span, making it impossible to learn consistently.

Instruments: Voice
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Singing is one of those things that is completely different than any other instrument.
You are exposing your entire self and making yourself vulnerable to the listener and to the art itself.
I think, as with most things, the more you master it, the more little things you find that you want to improve. Living in the imperfection can be incredibly exposing and frustrating, but mastering is not about perfecting.
Sometimes putting down the paint brush is the most difficult part of mastering an instrument.
Some days you’re going to be in amazing voice and sometimes you’re having an off day. Both situations are useful.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I am very open to all techniques. I grew up playing violin with the Suzuki method, which had shaped my ear wonderfully, but required me to learn to read music supplementally.
I also was exposed to Orff and Dalcroze methods from a very early age.
As far as vocal technique, I have had teachers who used the Caruso method and Alexander technique.
I am not married to any specific technique though I have experienced many different types.
I believe in a tailored to the student method is best.
My favorite teacher always asked me if what I was doing felt good. That was what was most important.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Vocalizing is absolutely essential to the beginning of every session.
Vocalizing is equally important in my own performing.
I love vocalizing because it allows me to test drive my voice for the day.
Our voices can fluctuate so much day to day, it’s important to feel in tune with your own instrument.
My sessions start with plenty of vocalizing and eventually leads to work on solo pieces.
I always allow plenty of space to communicate with my students and give them the opportunity to speak about what there experiencing while they’re singing.
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 2 degrees. My first degree is a Bachelor of Arts from Oregon state university in Vocal performance.
My second degree is a masters in music from Brooklyn college conservatory of music.
I chose to pursue these degrees because I knew I wanted to be trained to the highest degree and be able to use that knowledge to continue to grow as a vocalist and help others grow in their own instrument.
While a masters was not required for the jobs I perform now, it was extremely essential in securing my role as vocal captain in my casts.
