Voice Lessons Virginia

Instruments: Piano, Voice

I began teaching a few beginner-level students during my first few years of college, and I have taught at the Bach to Rock music schools, and found that I enjoyed building new musicians. I like to emphasize the benefits of consistent, focused practice, especially to my beginner students, as well as the importance of proper warm-up activities.

Although I have been trained as a classical singer, I enjoy singing and teaching singing in a variety of genres.
