My teaching experience began with teaching trumpet and guitar lessons early on during my undergraduate degree, roughly 6 years ago.

After finishing my studies, I have worked as a Chorus teacher working with both the band director and all of the students in the music program for their various needs. This included specific instruction to the students who were more invested in their musical skill development, instrument repair of the brass instruments, direction of the three choirs with daily rehearsals and assisting with beginner band lessons.

Teaching should be fun for both the teacher and student! I truly believe that the teacher should learn as much from the teacher as the student learns. Each person interprets a song differently and I want to allow my students to be expressive and find their passion for and through music. For vocal performing, it can be a vulnerable experience. The voice is such an innate part of you--no one's vocal instrument is exactly like yours! Read More
