I love teaching and helping students reach their potential.  I have been teaching music for over 35 years.  I teach beginning to professional level voice lessons from folk and pop to Broadway and Opera. I also teach beginning level piano, violin, viola, cello, double bass, and guitar.

Voice methodology is to learn how to make the correct sound on the flow of breath.  One must learn how to breath whether singing loudly or softly in whichever style or genre the student wants to learn. String playing can be hard on the ears when beginning, therefore it is important to develop a good bow technique in order to make the best sound possible.  I use the All For Strings method books. Begining piano is fun and I teach out of the book as well as how to learn the beginnings of improvising.  I use the Alfred Piano Library books for the children and adult players.
