My teaching experience began in 2016 as a young college student. In my graduate career I taught voice lessons for four semesters and each year I learned how to develop and manage my own personal studio. I strongly recommend practice logs to track student's progress and to make the student aware of the things that require more attention. I also invite each student to inform me about their interests in music and I tailor the lessons around that. It is very important to me that the student is able to enjoy the learning process!

For all students, I begin with fundamental and foundational elements of singing such as breathing, musical terms, elements of music, etc. I use The Singing Book which includes instructional learning and solo repertoire, and can be used for any level singer. More specifically, I create my own lesson plan according to the student. In my planning, I consider vocalises, style, student's preferences and interests, breathing warm-ups, and private practice techniques. I have found that most students do not know how to practice and I feel as a teacher it is my job to provide practice techniques to my students.
