That is when I know I have done my job! Moreover, setting the students up for success is key. Read More

These have simpler melodies and engaging text that help younger students stay interested. For beginning students that are 12-18, I will begin with folk songs and musical theatre songs, moving to art song and classical pieces. Read More
