Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Synthesizer French Horn Keyboard
As an instructor and musician I have explored a huge variety of different musical styles froma roudn the world, as well as the cognitive fundamentals of learning. I try to preapre my students with learning tools that will allow them to continue improving even after my time as their instructor is over. I focus especially on building an understanding of how and why to acquire strong fundamentals, so that we can collaboratively drive their learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
I work very closely with every student customizing lesson plans based on their needs. From the very first lesson, we figure out his/her goals and we write them down. Then I create a lesson plan specifically suited to get them to where they want to be. I often recommend specific songs or artists they should listen to as well as certain books and practice exercises that gravitate towards reaching their goal and most importantly; true potential.

First, there must be a goal for each student, during the first lessons we discuss about it. My task is to plan and implement this. Over the years of my experience in singing, I have learned to be a psychologist; for each student I can find an individual approach, look into the soul and see the potential. Every student should understand that vocal training requires physical and mental activity, so classes require a full concentration. Read More

I was a music education major at Roosevelt Univ. and have personal experience teaching all ages from grammar school to entry level college students.I have taught in private studios and traveled to students' homes. I teach various instruments from beginners to various levels of accomplishment and when a student has that bright light moment when something clicks, it's truly a pleasure moment. I teach more than just an instrument,I teach music.This helps a student move forward and discover things on their own, such as how to play what they create in their head and how to get that to their instrument which is what communicates to an audience.

Instruments: Piano Voice Drums
I began teaching in high school with middle school percussion ensembles, drum lines, and several private students. In college when I wasnt studying, performing or rehearsing, I was teaching and being taught. I taught privately in my home studio as well as several lesson studios in and around the North Texas area for 4 years before moving to Chicago where I've continued to teach and perform full time. I encourage a regular practice routine as well as regualr lesson attendance especially when it comes to younger students. 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.

After graduating college and teaching in the public and charter school systems, I began to teach private lessons on my own in students homes. The experience is intimate, thoughtful and enriched as I am able to teach one on one in a comfortable setting for the students and we gain a lot of ground from the comfortable surroundings. As both a classroom teacher and private lesson instructor, I find great joy in teaching technique and creative skills. Read More

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.
Janine
My 14 year old daughter is interested in improving her voice. She loves to sing and wants to sing in choir this year but thinks she needs some help to meet that goal.
Tyler
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.
