Instruments:
My vocal teaching method focuses on correct breathing and resonance and is based on the Italian bel canto school of classical singing; I also incorporate some activities from Barry Green's "Inner Game of Music" technique. Although my teaching is grounded in a scientific approach to the process of phonation, I also believe singing should be a fun experience for the student. We sing to communicate! My piano teaching method incorporates repertoire study, technical exercises, and strength-building work. I use a variety of method books (including Schaum, Alfred, and Bastien) as well as supplemental theory workbooks; the specific materials are chosen based on the student's abilities and learning style. Advanced piano students are assigned repertoire from a variety of major composers from a range of time periods, scales, arpeggios, octaves, and technical exercises by Hanon and Czerny. As an organ teacher, I use both the Leupold and Davis method books, as well as hymn and/or performance repertoire tailored to the student's interests and abilities.
Instruments:
While in Augusta, I had the fortune to play the violin with a Beatles Tribute Band called Number 9. I return to Augusta every August to play with them for a combined audience of 1700 people per weekend. During my career in Augusta, I also regularly played on violin and viola in the pit orchestra for the Augusta Players, Augusta's premier professional theatre company. I taught for seven years in the Richmond County Public Schools, two as a choral director, and five of which were with the Orchestra Program. I've also taught privately and coached ensembles for the last decade. Since my move to Pittsburgh, I have performed with the Eclectic Laboratory Chamber Orchestra, the Pittsburgh Savoyards, the Pittsburgh Philharmonic, and the String Ensemble of the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Tuesday Musical Club. I'll also be featured as a guest artist on viola on the 2012 Pittsburgh Singer-Songwriters CD. I am currently pursuing performances with a guitarist. We are Midnight Vinyl Duet and play everything from Classical to 60s/70s music. Check us out on YouTube!

Instruments:
I work with students to move at their pace while still challenging them with engaging material that they are insterested in and that will help them improve and grow musically.
Instruments:
Setting goals and making plans to reach them is a huge part of my teaching style. Singing is just as much a discipline as any other skill. Let's meet, set up some short and long time goals, and then begin working together to reach those goals!
Instruments:
I am a young but very experienced instructor and vocalist. I am currently completing my vocal performance degree at Duquesne University. When not teaching, I perform with the Mt. Lebanon United Lutheran Chancel Choir, and I cantor Mass at St. Benedict the Abbot in Peters Township and St. Louise de Marillac in Bethel Park. I have been teaching privately for three years, and have worked with David's Music House and Accelerando Music Conservatory.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
