While my degrees are in music and performance, I have been teaching privately part time at my Universities for 4+ years, and now I am currently teaching students in my home studio, as well as student in home lessons. In both voice and piano I have experience in both classical and contemporary repertoire. I always encourage students to start with classical music, and as they progress in their skills, I normally start adding more contemporary pieces. This brings a balance to the students overall piano and vocal knowledge pedagogy, and skills.
Before the first lesson I always like to inquire with the student (Parent/Guardian) if the student has taken lessons in the past, in order to better teach, and assign practice material. However, if a student has never taken lessons before, I recommend to young students the Alfred's Basic Piano Lessons Book 1, and for my adult students I will send supplemental materials via email, but also encourage that they purchase in the future, "Essential Piano Repertoire" Level two by Keith Snell. I also inquire about each students learning style and schedule in order to better assign music learning material, and recommend practice times.
As a vocalist, pianist, and performer myself I understand the importance of the technical aspects of singing, playing, and presenting efficiently. Having a strong vocal and performing techniques has helped me build my stamina, and become a more efficient vocalist, and overall performer. As an instructor I want to give my students this knowledge as well. Within my private teaching studio I am most concerned with teaching my students the basics of healthy vocal production, as well as performance, and presentation skills. From this foundation they can build their artistry in a healthy and productive manner. Students must feel confident in their own skills so they, in turn, can be self- sufficient in any field from music to public speaking. Lessons are a place of learning, experimentation, and growth. It can also be a place of excitement and enjoyment. The student and teacher must work together in a cohesive atmosphere always aiming for their main goals. As a teacher I have, and will continue to learn from my students, give them the knowledge that I can to help them to be their best selves.
