Instruments:
I began studying voice prior to college with world renowned teacher, Helen Boatwright in Syracuse, NY. This training was classical. Loving jazz, I started also to sing with Dianna Spradling at Syracuse University. Soon after, I decided to go to college for musical theatre at The Boston Conservatory where I continued my studies with Walter Boyce and Robert Honeysucker, both of whom used a more classical technique. Through the years as a performer, I have worked with many coaches and teachers short term in NY and LA. About 10 years a go, I began teaching on the side. I now have 30+ students. Some come to my home and some at a studio in St. Clair Shores. My goal is to get my singers performing as much a s possible. We have a standing performance at a local coffee house every month as well as an annual recital. I also encourage my students to audition for shows and scholarships by providing them with opportunities.
Instruments:
Over 13 years of teaching experience. I do travel for piano lessons only to your home. All other instrumnets must be at my studio in Westland MI.
Instruments:
I am an enthusiastic and caring teacher who wants to give back to the community as my mentors and teachers gave to me. A love of music and performance from my younger days motivated me to enroll in choir and seek experiences outside of school that would give me the education I sought. My involvement with a show choir and extensive solo work led to a pursuit of studies in jazz and classical literature. I graduated with honors from Oakland University in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science in Music Education. I performed in local bands and recorded professionally in the studio after college. Today, I am still a working performer in a vocal/guitar duo.
Instruments:
I love music and I love working with students of all ages. I studied piano from the age of 4, played euphonium in school band, sang in choir, and graduated from Michigan State University with honors in 2005 with a degree in music education. My teaching has taken me from inner-city Chicago, to Bay City, to South Lyon MI. I am looking to spend more time teaching one-on-one, as I feel that creates the most positive experiences for student and teacher.
Instruments:
Every student learns at their own pace. Though I do believe in setting goals and structure for lessons, I know that each student will learn at their own pace and goals may need to be tweaked as the lessons go on. My goal is to help the student grow and become for confident in themselves. I would rather focus on a student becoming a stronger musician and grow a passion for music rather than sticking to a schedule. Goals for lessons also change as lessons go on. At the very beginning, I like to sit down with my students and discuss what their goals are for these lessons. Once a month, at the end of a lesson, we will sit down and talk about if these goals are the same, do they feel they are reaching these goals and tweak anything for the next month. I encourage students to always be honest with me. I would rather hear that they are unhappy with their lessons or do not understand the principle I am teaching. Having an honest atmosphere allows us (the student and teacher) to talk openly and trust one another. This will have the student feel safe which is important for growth in any student.

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.
