For my students, I tailor my methods based on the specific student's musical goals and their experience. I use a combination of method books and my own original teaching material to emphasize certain topics/skills. Instead of going from one page to the next in a music book, I like to combine multiple books and original practices to keep my students interested. Some of my students want to learn theory, some want to learn improvisation and some just want to learn their favorite songs. Read More

I also have over a decade of private voice teaching experience and two decades of formal music education. I believe it is essential that teachers keep their head in the game by continuing to put themselves out there as performers, so they never lose touch with the industry or the perspectives and demands of being a performer. I bring this professional knowledge of auditioning, performing, and the business of showbiz to benefit my students at whatever stage they are on in their musical journey. Read More

Some students thrive with structured exercises and theory, while others learn best through ear training, improvisation, or songwriting. Read More
