I believe in a student learning to hear music and think for themselves. Through ear training, creativity, and learning "how" music works, the goal is to get each student to not need a teacher to learn their instrument, but want a teacher so they may become their best version of it. I focus on this as a primary value in my studio. In lessons, we'll use formulas and concepts to understand "why" things sound good, and "how" we actually get better. Read More

I've been slowly teaching private lessons while I've been in the final years of college. With the KU curriculum, I have had to learn how to work with children from Pre-K to 12th grade, which means any age is something I've been prepared for. Also, I got to sing with the Intergenerational choir at KU, which would happen at the local community center with senior-aged people. I've sung jazz, musical theater, and classical pieces since high school. Read More
Instruments: Voice Music
My methods vary greatly dependent upon the needs of the student. For younger students, I start with early fundamentals (music in general, breathing, and confidence) through easy songs that are recognizable and fun to learn. As a student ages, the voice matures, so I assess a student's vocal qualities and give them appropriate rep through their voice changing. For teens and adults, I focus on finding appropriate pieces that are in line with a student's preferred genre. Read More

For beginner's, I do typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements books. For intermediate, I'll evaluate what materials they've used thus far in their lessons and go from there. If someone is familiar with a set of books in a positive way, there's no reason to change the books they're using. I do believe, however, there is profit in a variety of repertoire, so a diverse lesson is key. I have learned from experience that simply learning one genre (classical, jazz, showtunes) is less desirable than having a familiar ear to multiple styles. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Teaching is my passion! I have been a private piano and voice instructor for over 10 years, as well as a classroom teacher for over 12. I love finding the gifts in all students and nurturing those gifts by sharing my love of music and knowledge. I graduated from Northwest Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education. My career as a musician has given me many enriching opportunities to be involved in vocal performances and teacher-led performances over the last 12 years. Read More
Instruments: Voice
Dr. Pittman traces his vocal lineage all the way back to the father of Bel Canto sinigng, Francesco Lamperti, and I am very fortunate to have learned from this excellent singer. Dr. Pittman instructed me in a very organic manner that focused on the position of different muscles and bones that are involved in the anatomy of singing. As such, my students will sometimes receive lessons on anatomical positions while singing. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I come from a long line of singers and instrumentalists. Many of my family members are recording artists as well. My grandparents were well known Gospel artists back in the day and I have many relatives that were well known instrumentalists. I am following the footsteps that have walked before me.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I think I would still be teaching, but teaching general education instead of music.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style/genres to sing are Neo Soul and R&B, however, I love to surprise people by singing Opera, Classical and Tejano because they do not expect me to know how to sing those styles.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew at age 12 that I wanted to be a professional musician. It was a defining moment for me after overcoming my fear of singing solo. I realized how much I enjoyed singing solo in front of a crowd. I immediately became hooked and since then, I have always looked forward to (and hustled for) the next opportunity.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a bachelor's degree in Vocal Music.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to perform a piece by Selena Quintanilla. Her songs are in Spanish and I like to challenge myself to learn the lyrics and style. In college, students were never required to learn songs in Spanish and I would love to change the trajectory of that.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of being a recording artist and songwriter. People around the world are hearing songs that I either was on vocally or have helped to write.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Singing has been a part of me since I was two years old. It is an indescribable feeling to get up in front of a crowd and share your heart through song.
When will I start to see results?
Everybody is different and starts at different starting points. If a student is consistent in attending lessons and practicing at home, results will come rather quickly. If results don't come immediately, I like to say to stick with it a little longer. Some things take a little more time.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I believe that a parent/guardian should have a conversation with their child about lessons before signing up. It'll be more enjoyable for a child that wants to be there than a child who is being forced to take lessons.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing should be fun! All too often, practicing feels like a chore when it shouldn't. Students should take notes during lessons and choose 3 things to work on during their at home practices. Especially when it comes to technique. Don't overwhelm yourself with the amount of hours practicing. A few minutes a day is just as effective (if not more) than 5 hours of practice a day.
