I began singing solos in church when I was 6 years old. I picked up the guitar when I was 10. At Montevallo, my primary instrument was voice and piano was my secondary instrument. I've been teaching professionally since 1981 -- 37 years as of this writing. My students have gone on to be professionals themseleves, but many of them just enriched their lives with music. As a performer, I've sung and played guitar in churches, clubs, local television and at weddings, funerals and I've perfomed in musicals alongside Broadway star Rebecca Luker in college. Read More

I love watching my students develop a love of playing music. It's so much fun to learn to play and perform. I encourage hard work and preparation for recitals and concerts.

I personalize my lessons to the goals of the students. If a student wants to learn the "Star Wars Theme", then we work on that as well as working through their lesson books. Read More

My love affair with coaching began in the mid-1990s after meeting and working with one of the nations top vocal coaches, Seth Riggs. His method of coaching completely changed the way I used my voice; making it more efficient, focused and powerful. I was hooked from the very first lesson and have been coaching variations of the speech level singing method ever since. Another facet of my coaching is in the area of style. Read More
