Voice Lessons Tennessee

Instruments: Voice

I prefer to let each student work at their own pace based on their specific goals. I am both encouraging and challenging to my students. I will never assign something that is way too easy or something that is not achievable for that particular student. I like to look at teaching as a collaborative effort. I always end up learning from my students. I lean into something most people know how to do- speak. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Ukulele, Acoustic Guitar

At the beginning of my experience with each student, I assess what the goals are for each student/their family, in the musical learning process. I base my teaching on that, within the framework of standard music teaching practices. Throughout the process of the student's learning, I periodically assess, not only the student's progress, but also the student's satisfaction with their learning process. As the need arises, I will make modifications or changes to the teaching, which better suit the student. Read More

Music lifts us up, and gives us enrichment; and washes the dust away from our every day lives. It is the most profound healing force on earth, and is magical. I have been teaching music for over 15 years, and I use a holistic approach so nothing is left out. Read More

For nearly ten years, I have been teaching private music lessons. However, throughout my experiences as a student and a performer, my teaching continues to grow and develop both in and out of the music classroom. With a diverse music education background including music directing musicals, vocal coaching, performing with vocal jazz ensembles, directing choirs, and performing in operas, I strive to share my musical diversity with my students. I also have a strong passion for world music in which I am constantly researching and discovering. Read More

If students are beginners, I generally use the Alfred Lesson books which are made for children and adults. These include theory books which I love to teach! Knowing the music theory behind what you're playing is so important and helps the music make much more sense. As a student progresses, I like to have them choose a piece out of selected repertoire so that they may have a say in what they're learning, and so that they will enjoy it all the more. Read More
