Instruments: Guitar Voice Harmonica Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I started studying around 5 years old and went through alot of instruments and eventually realized that I was really motivated by singing. I auditioned for Performing Arts High School and ended up getting accepted my junior year of high school. This was a big thing for me as I learned about the different levels of music prowess and it opened me to other styles. Since the age of 14 I played in a band of some sort. Read More

My goal is to pass my deep love for music on to everyone that I teach. I will work hard for my students, and in return hopefully they will work hard for me. Learning to play a music instrument takes patience and discipline. The rewards are incredible, it can teach a student so much more than being able to play just music. Valuable life lessons come from playing a music instrument. Read More

I have been teaching since 1980. I am originally from North Carolina and moved to Colorado in the 80s. I am a member of National Music Teachers Association, Colorado State Music Teachers Association and Foothills Music Teachers Association. I have taught both at the private and public school levels and teach students beginning at age 5 through adult level. I have sung with Charlotte Opera, Jacksonville Opera and the Lakewood Chorale as soprano soloist. Read More

Nothing is more satisfying than seeing students passionately pursue and succeed in the musical goals they set for themselves. I encourage students to set smaller, individual goals that can help them reach the larger goals they may have. Each student is unique and all students deserve to learn in the mode or format that is most effective. It is my role to both welcome the uniqueness of each student as well as offer multiple styles from which students can learn. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I'm a passionate and energetic instructor who loves working with students of all ages and sharing my love of music. In 1994, I graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music. Performing as lead singer in a very fun dance/funk band with a horn section has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I've been fortunate to play almost every large venue in our great city as well as open up for famous acts such as Howard Jones at the Gothic Theater. Read More

I like to have my students progress to a point where they feel comfortable picking a song of their choice, transcribing it as accurately as possible, and playing it. For advanced students: there is no set structure for advanced students, as their requests and sets of strengths and weaknesses are so individually specific that I have to create a specific lesson plan for each student. However, one theme that I love to introduce advanced musicians to in terms of music theory are the psycho-acoustics and emotional manipulation of specific chord progressions, modes, cadences, and modal interchange.

Naturally, my method will adapt to each student's needs. This will depend firstly on what style of music we are working to develop. Next, I will base my approach on the students level of abilities. There are a number of things to consider, such as technique, aural capacity, intuitive understanding, and basic theoretical knowledge, as well as each student's particular personality traits and best method of receiving information. I have a large repertoire of pedagogical literature and performance pieces. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Focus is crucial to an effective practice, and different people have different needs to create a focused environment. I like to be in a closed room alone with all of the sheet music I'll need and some water, so that that I shouldn't need to leave the room and break my focus. I also encourage a back and forth dialogue with oneself, keeping it progress-oriented. After singing or playing a passage, I stop and ask myself how it went - what was good and what could have been better? If you come across sections that you just can't nail, bring them to your next lesson!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
For a while I was pretty torn - the viola was the first instrument I was absolutely crazy about, but in the end I chose to specialize in voice and still consider it my primary instrument. I took piano lessons and learned to play the viola, but I have always been a singer - at church, in school, in the shower. It wasn't until I was in a college choir that I heard women use their free, powerful, operatic voices. I needed to explore that vocal style for myself, and I fell in love with the mastery of classical singing. Good classical technique gives a singer the tools they need to sing just about any genre.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I hold a bachelor's degree in vocal performance, but I started at the University of Minnesota intent on studying music education. I knew I wanted music to be my profession, and the implementation of that has been ever-changing. I realized that one of my favorite things about music was performing for others, and I love the glamour of the theatre. Opera was a natural choice and after even my first classical voice lesson, I was hooked. Vocal study has been an especially incredible way to learn music because it's so personal - your instrument is your body.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Music is an addiction! I started with piano lessons in grade school, and I remember the announcement in middle school that we could sign up for band, choir, or orchestra. I didn't even think of my voice as an instrument at the time, but I signed up for choir AND orchestra. When I little sister signed up for guitar and later cello lessons, I couldn't keep my hands off of her instruments - the same thing happened when my little brother started playing violin, and I got my own electric guitar to work out some teenage angst. Since completion of my degree in vocal performance, I've been learning cajon, djembe, bass guitar, and mandolin. I love that the same melody or rhythm can sound so different from instrument to instrument, and I like fusing the sounds to craft unique soundscapes.
