Ideally, I prefer to work with younger children because it is at this stage in life that they are most musically receptive; I believe it is important for a budding musician to love their craft and - regardless of age, technical skill can only take one so far in the arts.

Singing lessons will be tailored to the individual student's goals, interests, and experience level, and I encourage all voice students to take initiative when it comes to how they would like to develop as singers, whether that be in pursuit of a performance career, pure hobby, or stress relief.

I have been teaching my students with Suzuki, Alfred, Bastien and other classical methods depending on their needs. Read More

For my piano students, I encourage them to search out opportunities to perform the music they work on every week. Read More
