As I said, all of my students have individual experiences with music and learning! The most important thing to me is progress and passion, at any pace and in any style. A big part of my lessons is setting goals together and checking in on those goals every couple of weeks. Another important thing I try to keep at the center of our lessons is the idea that we only can get as much out of these lessons as we put in. Read More

You can use your recordings to chart your progress and encourage you. You can review these recordings to check if you are practicing correctly and to listen to the invaluable advice from your teacher or coach. Whether you need a sharp reminder about nailing that lip trill, improving your chest voice, or perfecting your ear training, recording and keeping your lessons for future reference is highly beneficial. While most teachers allow students to record face-to-face lessons, few students go to the extra work of making recordings. Read More

For young beginning piano students, I typically start with John Thompson's Modern Course for the Piano: The First Grade Book and move up throughout the series from there. For young beginning voice students, I start with lessons on proper breath support, sight-singing, intonation exercises, and warm-ups to shape their voice. For both my piano and voice students, I establish a strong, classical foundation that is built on fundamentals to get their instrument working properly and then branch out to other genres from there.

I worked at this camp up until 2020; when the camp was shut down because of Covid. Since then, I have been teaching private voice and beginner piano lessons! I absolutely love setting up a plan for my private students, talking to them about their goals and where they want to take their music learning! I find it important to have structure in the lessons, as well as explaining the importance of practice and preparation. Read More

For all students we will work on breathing technique, vocal technique and applying those aspects into songs that they love to sing. If a student picks out a song that doesn't suit him/her, I will help them find the right song for them - building them a diverse repertoire that they can sing any time and any where, without any struggle.
