For nearly ten years, I have been teaching private music lessons. However, throughout my experiences as a student and a performer, my teaching continues to grow and develop both in and out of the music classroom. With a diverse music education background including music directing musicals, vocal coaching, performing with vocal jazz ensembles, directing choirs, and performing in operas, I strive to share my musical diversity with my students. I also have a strong passion for world music in which I am constantly researching and discovering. Read More

It is such a joy to see students progress in lessons, especially younger students. My former piano teacher of 10 years inspired me so much and was the most amazing and professional piano instructor in my area. She really lived by the reward system. Anytime, I would finish a goal or objective for the day, whether it be scales, or finishing a pieces, she would reward us with stickers or candy or anything to motivate us in love. Read More

I absolutely love sewing into the lives of my singers and artists and helping them find their musical identity! Read More

I'm a multi-instrumentalist, a songwriter, a producer, a performer, and a lifelong student.

My life has been enriched by great teachers, and I hope to pass that gift on to others looking to further enjoy making music. Read More

For all my students, I first ask the question: why are you taking vocal lessons? I want to know first and foremost my students' goals and what they like/don't like about their singing voice. Then I start with the basics: what is happening in your body when you sing, and why? First I like to start with singing easy 5-tone scales to discover the students' voice type, then I talk to my students about what makes their voice special. Read More

My enthusiasm for the performing arts continued to grow throughout childhood, and my teenage years. I started private Voice lessons at age 16 and studied Musical Theatre at Kent State University for the first two years of college. Read More
