Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Keyboard
I began to teach private lessons when I was in college in the year 2005. I started in a small music shop called McKinney Music where I taught in a back storage room. I taught beginning snare drum, piano and drum set. I had an experience there where a young 7 year old student who didn't practice and it showed. He felt so ashamed he began to cry, but I was able to calm him down and furthermore help him understand the lesson he hadn't practiced. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have loved singing since I could first talk! I grew up singing in choirs, shows, and church. When I attended the Governor's School for the Arts in Norfolk, VA for high school, I realized that music and singing would be my career path for life. There, I was classically trained and learned to sing opera. I went on to complete my Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in voice. I am excited to have moved to Chicago with my husband, Sean.

Instruments: Piano Voice Lute Music
My teaching tools are slightly different than most people. Sure, I use Textbooks and pencils but along with these materials, I use a special way trying to understand what is in my students mind and how to make the lesson interesting and easy for them to understand. I want my students to learn basic skills. That is, I want them to learn the basic skills necessary to transform their world. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba Music Keyboard
The first time I began teaching music was shortly after graduating high school, and asking local band directors to get some experience with their summer band, and marching band programs. While studying music in college, I received further training in classrooms outside of music to further develop my skills. It was during this period I that began to find joy from one-to-one learning. While I intend to provide most of the educational material, I also encourage my students to bring what they want to learn as well for a well-rounded experience. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
I love seeing my students excited about music. I like students to bring in music they feel passionate about so we can break it down and start to understand what makes it work. I find it important to set goals, adjust goals when things arent working and celebrate them when they are. Because of the great instruction I have had in my life, I understand the importance of being a teacher. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums
I have been singing since the tender age of three! I have loved singing and performing since then. This love has propelled me into the classrooms where I honed my craft. I also learned the discipline of practicing on other instruments as I went through high school at Emerson School for the Visual and Performing Arts. I graduated with honors as a vocal major. I later attended Wabash College and graduated as the only music major in the class of 2003. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
I build each lesson around the needs of each student and what they would like to accomplish. I help them set reasonable practice and achievement goals. If there is a style of music they would like to learn or a particular song, I try to fit it in with the lesson and use it as a teaching tool as well. Proper technique is the foundation for exceptional performance. I spend at least 5-10 minutes each lesson on technique. Read More
Instruments: Voice Recorder
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me can span from 20 minutes to 2 hours. I usually start by setting up the room in a way that allows for the most movement (I like to pace and wave my arms around like a crazy person sometimes). After maxxing out my movement space, I'll then sit/stand and start to warm up, which those exercises vary depending on what kind of repertoire I'm practicing that day. After getting warmed up, I'll start just running my pieces full-send, circling/noting places that I'm not as confident on and I can return to when I'm done. After that, the rest of the time is spent isolating sections and chunking them together to eventually attempt another (and more improved!) full-run.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Probably a professional dogwalker or cheerleader! It would be a dream to get paid for my two passions outside of music: pets and cheer.
When will I start to see results?
While you might not see results that say you're a professional, depending on the goals you'd like to achieve, you can start seeing results around the 2nd or 3rd lesson! Smaller goals allow for more achievements, and more achievements mean seeing larger and larger results the longer you work at it.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think confidence and strength is the hardest thing to master on my instrument, voice. The voice is such a uniquely individual instrument, and there are endless ways to make a "beautiful" sound, yet there's always an element of competition and comparison. While trying to be unique comes with the territory of having an instrument no one can see, finding one's own HEALTHY & STRONG sound is the real challenge. Using common techniques and exercises is the first step to getting your own sound and finding YOUR voice, once you are confident in your skills, using that confidence is the most critical step in finding your strongest sound!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This depends on what you'd like to use lessons for! If you want your child to simply learn basic musical knowledge, I think the time to start lessons is when they can soak in and repeat knowledge back to you.
If you'd like to start lessons to create a career path in music, I believe that any child that loves using their voice to discover the world around them (singing, speaking, yelling, echolalia, etc.) is ready to start lessons. Taking lessons doesn't inherently mean you want to become the next Broadway star (although we can definitely work with that!), it can also just mean you want to find the voice that can make the most difference in the world around you.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Chunk your time! The average focus time expires around 40 minutes, so practicing for 30 minutes and then having timed brain breaks before going back to practicing helps to maintain a healthy focus within your practice session! I personally like do something completely irrelevant from music in my brain breaks. Sometimes I'll go on a small walk, answer some texts/emails, or just stare at the wall-- just anything that isn't my repertoire!

I'd like to take lessons from someone who an teach not only opera but belting. I need to learn how to do both in a healthy way and learn how to expand my range.

I've been a closeted singer my entire life. It is time I learn the mechanics of the voice in hopes of learning to sing better for my personal pleasure.
