I teach according to Complete Vocal Technique (CVT) for any level and musical genre. This method truly allows me to help singers sing in the way THEY wish to sing in, whether it's a delicate singing as in Folk music, or Extreme singing with vocal effects as in Heavy Metal. In lessons, singers and I work with a clear communication model to achieve precise results and faster development and to make sure they can recapture everything outside of the lesson as well.

My favorite piano method book for children is the Bastien Piano Basics Series. Alternately, I sometimes use the Faber & Faber Piano Adventures. For very young children (3-6) "My First Piano Adventure," a Faber publication, is my book of choice. For adults, I usually use Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course, though sometimes I skip method books and play pieces picked by the student. When teaching drums/percussion, my method books of choice are Standard of Excellence and Winning Rhythms. Read More

We will work on range, pitch (if thats an issue), vocal warm ups, diction (English or any other language they are up to learning...again it depends on their skill level), and more.  Read More

I believe that each person has the possibility of transforming and developing as musicians - regardless of their starting point. Read More
