Instruments:
I've found that beginning students are so eager to make sounds - I like to start with sound exploration, asking questions: How is the instrument put together? How do you take care of your instrument? What sounds can your instrument make? What sounds do you like making? This exploration fosters student ownership of her/his instrument and musicianship. More advanced students (with me, mainly vocalists) are challenged to explore a variety of repertoire, in tandem with consistent vocalization work - building and expanding the capabiities of each unique singing voice. I do not subscribe to a specific library of literature or teaching method. I am versed in many, to better serve each student.
Instruments:
I love to see my students enjoy learning music and gain confidence as they realize their musical potential. This can only be accomplished in a safe and healthy environment where my students are able to express themselves without fear of rejection or judgement. At the first voice lesson, I have my students list their musical goals and what they hope to achieve. Through positive affirmation, I am able to help them reach their goals and develop a passion for music. I have been privileged to work with many great mentors and have had a variety of rewarding performing and teaching opportunities. I am constantly learning from my students, which helps me to become a better teacher and performer. I hope to inspire my audience, as well as my students.
Instruments:
For young and beginning vocalists, I will typically start with assigning and working on American Art song, spirituals, folk music, songs from 24 Italian Songs, and musical theatre repertoire. I tailor my choices to each student, as each student has a different voice and way of learning. For the more advanced or experienced vocalists, I will assign classical and romantic art song of different languages and operatic arias. Once again, my choices will be tailored to each individual student. I also am a strong believer in technique. All of my vocal students will be working on breathing technique. When you are a vocalist, your body is your instrument, and you must know how to produce sound correctly and healthily in order to be as successful as possible. As for pianists, my teaching ability is for beginner and intermediate students only. I truly believe that theory is a very important aspect of piano playing, and I will probably begin with a book that has a theory aspect to match the playing assignments, as I did with my past piano students.
Instruments:
I let the student decide what the lesson is to be like. There are a lot of things to cover, but I will adapt what I think is the best teaching style for the student based on things like what he or she wants to learn. If you are interested in electronic music production, I can even teach lessons in Ableton Live. I am very well versed in all aspects of pro audio and would love to share and teach my knowledge. I hope you choose me to be your teacher, because I am a fun, caring, and responsible teacher.
Instruments:
I love teaching all types of music and students from church music to preparing pieces for college auditions. I have been teaching private voice lessons for about 2 years as well as tutored music theory and history to entry level college students. I also have 15 years of dance experience in ballet, jazz, musical theater and tap. This has allowed me to learn a different side of music and helps me draw aspects from this while teaching. I love watching a student learn and grow. My goal during teaching is for the student to feel confident and strong. I take my motto from a teacher/mentor who said to every one of her students "I want you to put me out of a job. I believe in teaching my students everything I know so they have all the skills and knowledge to become the best musicians, teachers and performers in the future." She has always put her heart and soul into her students. I want to be the same for my students.
