While gaining my Bachelor's degree in Music for Vocal Music Education, I gained experience teaching private lessons, musical theatre coaching, as well as large group music classes with students ranging from Kindergarten to College. With this range of students, I've found a great balance of having fun with learning great work ethic and professionalism. Students will grow as singers and performers through consistent lessons and daily individual practice working on everything from singing basics and vocal health to stage presence and interpretation.

I would also like to work of pieces in different languages if the student is willing. Read More

I have a more laid back teaching style that is adapted to the student's personality and learning style. The last thing that any student wants is a stressful environment. Musical lessons should be challenging and have an element of fun as well. The student should leave the lesson wanting to come back to another lesson not feeling like they should put their instrument down and give up. I focus on the positives and give methods on how to overcome the negatives.  Ultimately, I want the student to go back to their organization and be able to correct discrepancies as a result of what they have learned.  Read More

I typically half my lessons between music reading and theory skills and working on their song or songs, and I normally assign a listening example, music reading assingment, and encourage daily practice. I do not punish a student for incomplete homework, however I stress that the homework I assign is to help them on their musical journey. When preparing for a performance or audition I spend the lesson fine-tuning their repetoire. Read More
