Instruments: Voice
When I take on a new student I first want to gauge what their goals are, what music they like, assess ability/level, and start building trust. From there we will learn various warm-up and vocal exercises to get their voice strong and flexible. Together we will choose a song to work on during our lessons that is fun for the student and applies use of the vocal strengthening exercises. Read More

I began teaching at the Xavier University Junior School of Music (Louisiana) at the age of 18. My teaching experience now spans 30 years. While most of my teaching, over the years, has been primarily private, I also have several years of classroom teaching experience. I enjoy teaching music because I believe that it is one of the most endearing methods of sharing information. One of my motto's is that I am an educator first, music is simply the vehicle by which I choose to educate. Read More

I am a charismatic, fun, sensitive, and super-knowledgeable instructor ready to help you achieve your musical dreams! I left my Ph.D. in 2013 so I could perform and teach more on my own terms, and I am thrilled to be a working performer in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. My earliest musical training was in voice, and I have been an accompanist for many years, so I enjoy collaborating on helping vocal students express their highest potential. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Keyboard
I really enjoy watching my students grow into their own and gain confidence in themselves and their musical abilities. Every person is a unique individual with a unique skill set that they bring in with them -- so I encourage each student to go at their own pace. Music should be fun! So I also like to ensure that we're exploring areas of music that interest the student. It's important to figure out what really inspires them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
To be honest, I didn't become serious about teaching in the arts until I went to graduate school from 2019 - 2022. There, I co-taught a class in the winter 2022 to undergraduates and realized I enjoyed teaching a variety of artists and helping them to feel more open in sharing their art and artistic practices. When I graduated, I knew that the next logical and intuitive step for me was teaching. Not only do I want to help others achieve their goals, I also feel that teaching pays homage to all of the mentors and teachers I've had throughout my life. Read More
Instruments: Voice
When I teach, I treat you like a colleague and I require your full attention during the 30-60 min class. Singing takes a lot of discipline, sweat and abdominal work (for the high notes). If you are aiming for the stars, you need to be trained like one. I can make you understand how voice projection works, so you know how to best use your voice and protect it. Every student progresses at their own pace. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The key to effective practice is organization. Organization helps you stay on task and stay focused. It is easy to get stuck on one passage or on one tricky exercise, and it's even easier to forget something you wanted to focus on after yesterday's practice. Everyone is different, but in order to stay organized, I keep a practice journal. After every practice session, I write down what I think my goals for the next day should be. Sometimes the notes are more detailed (they include specific goals I want to reach or how much time I should spend on one thing) and sometimes they are more broad (things I want to get to, which I can check off and save all un-checked items for the next day).
I struggle with tendinitis, and so I have a very limited amount of time each day that I can practice without injuring myself. My practice journal helps me streamline my practice and make those few hours as productive as possible.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the flute when I was 5 years old. I wasn't able to pick up the instrument until I was in third grade, though. In kindergarten, my music teacher would show us Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf from time to time. At the end of the movie, we were quizzed and asked to identify the instruments we had just heard. Time and time again, without fail, the only instrument I could identify was the flute: the sound of the birds. From that time forward, I knew I wanted to play the bird's music one day. It was a match made in heaven!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session lasts at least two hours, and begins with warm-ups. Warm-ups are important for the body as well as the mind -- just like in sports. I warm up for about 30 to 45 minutes, and I alternate between several different exercises designed to improve technique and intonation. After that, I move onto etudes and orchestral excerpts. Finally, I work on my repertoire. In between all of this, I take breaks every 15 to 30 minutes. The breaks are just as important as the time spent practicing. During my breaks, I can rest my hands and mind, which is especially helpful after spending a half hour on frustrating and difficult material.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
It would be my dream to one day perform Maurice Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe Suite No. 2. I have studied excerpts from that piece for a few years now, and they are simply my favorite. Ravel is my favorite composer hands down, and the Suite No 2. from Daphis et Chloe is my favorite among the pieces he has written. The music is challenging, yet stunningly beautiful and captivating. I get goosebumps every time I listen to the piece, and I can't even imagine how much more wonderful it would be to perform it one day.
