Instruments:
We start each lesson with proper breathing technique, the cornerstone of all vocals. We then move on to various vocal exercises to help condition the voice. Then we will work on the songs that interest you and that you are eager to sing! I will use a piano for warm ups and conditioning exercises. Whenever possible I like to use a pre-recorded accompaniment for the songs we are working on. This frees me up to listen to you sing rather than concentrating on my own playing. Students that play another instrument and wish to accompany themselves while performing (such as a guitar) are encouraged to bring that instrument to the lesson.
Instruments:
I have been teaching private voice since high school, where I took on my first 8 year old student. I continued teaching lessons all through college, giving private instruction and theory tutoring to my classmates and fellow vocal performance students. It was there that I found my knack for repertoire and audition preparation; as a board member for the Berklee Musical Theater club, club members would often seek me out to select appropriate repertoire and rehears for their auditions. When I take on a student I am committed and dedicated to his/her musical journey, and I want to offer them everything I can. I've always had a focus on performance and believe that the confidence and courage that come with performance experience translate into all areas of life.
Instruments:
For all students, I like to get a sense of what sort of musical knowledge the student has before starting. It is highly important to me to figure out what exactly the student wants out of the lesson and I will adapt my teaching style to fit their needs. I am happy to take on beginning students with no knowledge of music or the voice and give them they fundamentals and work up from there. I will also take students who are professionals in the industry and may just want a couple lessons here and there to work on certain pieces or styles. It is hard to say "this is my method" because it constantly changes with each student and their needs. I will adapt to whatever a student needs and help them achieve their personal goals for their lessons.
Instruments:
My philosophy is that the lessons should be personalised around the students needs and interests. For voice, I work on vocal technique with my students, and on how to apply it to whatever style they like. For piano, I like to work with the Alfred's piano books, gradually adding repertoire that matches their ability level, and can yet be fun. I have a few Faber and Alfred books for ideas of repertoire, but I also like to just let the student chose what songs they'd like to play, so that it's more interesting for the both of us!

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.
