Voice Lessons in Fort Collins, CO

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Organ

Aside from vocal music, I also played in the wind ensemble on trumpet and had my own funk outfit outside of classes to fullfill my own creative direction. After graduating in the Winter of '11 I moved to Colorado to find a better audience for the funk, jazz and fusion music that I have personally gravitated towards. I've played most of the major venues in Denver, Boulder and the Front Range opening for giants like Victor Wooten and John Medeski, and currently am pursuing my Masters this upcoming Fall for Jazz Composition.

I have taught piano for nearly a decade. As I was growing up, my mother taught piano in our house and I started learning at five years old. When I was twelve, I took on my first student, who was about four years old at the time. Since then, I have taught in a variety of settings, from double teaming pairs of students with my mother to teaching cello, piano, drums, and basic music skills online to students living in Haiti, France, and across the United States!

Voice: In voice lessons we do not use books which allows me to fully customize lessons to the individual students needs and wants. I teach different methods of breathing, including low costal breathing and we focus on posture, sound placement, among many other fun skills. Speaking: Speaking lessons are also highly customized, as speakers could be anyone from film or stage actors, to voice over artists, to public speakers and beyond. Read More

The student's goals are my goals! Music changed the course of my life, and that was because I had teachers who guided me in the direction that I wanted to go- that's why what the student is hoping for is always my first priority. Everyone is encouraged to go and learn at their own pace; we'll discuss weekly goals each lesson, and larger goals about once every few months, to make sure that the student is achieving what they want.

I ask all of my students to be prepared for their lessons with a notebook and pencil for lesson notes and assignments. I ask them to bring any materials they have and will often recommend books and supplemental material I have had success with. I believe in writing down notes that help students understand what they are learning, exactly what students should practice, and setting goals for their practice and overall progress. Read More

I would describe my methodology as strength-based but rooted in patience and enjoyment. As each student brings with them characteristics that are physical, mental as well as emotional, learning these characteristics allows me insights which form the creative process. For example, I had a student years ago that had a finger anomaly (he had been bit on the finger by his wife's cat so we called it "cat scratch finger") and this prevented him from laying his ring finger flat on his fretting hand.

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been teaching both beginning piano and voice lessons since 2010, and have found so much fulfillment in teaching students of all ages and backgrounds. I believe it is so important to customize each student's lesson experience based on their individual needs, strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to make these lessons feel rewarding and fun for you, so we will discuss together what it is that you're seeking from your lesson experience regarding musical styles, skills and your overall personal goals.
