Instruments: Piano Voice Bass Guitar

I've sung opera, heavy metal, jazz, bluegrass, lieder, electro-pop and others -- and I've played and written those styles too. I studied music at a high level simply because I couldn't justify studying anything else, because nothing else has mattered more to me. I've been teaching music for 20 years, both in and out of institutional parameters; and I've played in rock and roll bands for longer than that. I bring a well-grounded but open-minded approach to teaching at all levels and interests. Read More

For the young students who are just starting out in vocal lessons I like to recommend starting with the proper breathing techniques and moving in to singing from the diaphragm and more experienced techniques will follow after that. After we have touched on those techniques we will move in to the performance portion of the lessons and how to connect with the song and then being able to portray the message of the song clearly and efficiently to the audience so that they can connect to the emotions that are coming from the song.

My goal as a private educator is to find what each of my students enjoys about learning music. When sequential learning is introduced, along with material that motivates, this encourages dedication and progression. I believe most students learn best when they feel they have input in some of the learning process. My students are also encouraged to participate in competitions and recitals. Having a goal to work towards aids in accomplishment and motivation. Read More
