For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. My methods include playing by ear, learning the foundation and solfeggi. Read More

My private voice teacher in college was truly an inspiration and expanded my voice. He formed my philosophy that voice study should always begin with the natural voice. I begin with the voice my student has- this provides a healthy singing experience that will last a lifetime! I believe healthy singing should always be the basis instruction regardless of genre. The same concept applies to guitar instruction. Improper guitar technique can cause joint damage over time! Read More

Practicing also teaches us how to be patient and doing it efficiently leading to success. Read More
