My teaching style is geared mainly towards going over fundamentals while finding the students interest in music. I encourage my students to listen to as much music as possible, to explore and find what they really enjoy. Playing along to music,or learning songs the student enjoys is a great way to apply the fundamentals, and make them more enjoyable to master. Read More

I am a motivated, creative, and experienced singer and pianist, performing as a professional musician since the age of 17 in multiple musical theatre roles, a private musician for parties and weddings, and as a teacher for the last 10 years. I am a child at heart, so I get along very well (sometimes too well, it would seem) with kids, and enjoy connecting our music lessons to science, language arts, mathematics and history to enrich their overall edification.

Instruments: Voice

Even though all students require different needs, I will usually start my lessons by warming up the voice with different exercises. After that, I will work on repertoire with the student. My favorite book for beginning singers is the 24 Italian Songs Arias. A lot of good habits and technique can be learned through repertoire. In my voice lessons, I'll focus on breathing, resonance, singer's health, good practice habits, musicianship, pronunciation/diction, and performance. Read More

When learning the fundamentals of guitar, I find it easiest to first learn through visually learning the hand shapes and hearing the different notes and intervals. The names of the chords and sight reading can come secondary once you have a basic understanding of how to play. Read More

Voice instruction is every bit about personal growth as it is about learning the instrument. Being able to stand up in front of someone and express something is a vital skill in both professional and personal life. As such, I like to cater lessons very personally for each student. Some students will need to focus on technique, repertoire, and music theory, while others will need to work on his or her stage performance and musical interpretation. Read More
