My teaching style is personalized, encouraging, and student-centered. I meet each student where they are, whether they’re preparing for an audition, performing live, writing their own songs, or singing just for fun.

I set realistic goals that keep students progressing steadily and celebrate each breakthrough, no matter how small. I love helping students discover what makes their voice unique and giving them the tools and confidence to use it with joy and freedom. Read More

For beginning students, I typically start with the Hal Leonard Method Books. Once the student can get the basics down I start with basic rock and pop tunes, or whatever music the student happens to be interested in.

I try to keep the student engaged and having fun no matter what but at the same time becoming a better musician. Read More
