When I first start working with my voice students I like to learn where you are at, with any previous vocal training, what techniques you may or may not know, and where you are at musically with sight reading and theory. It is really important to have the fundamentals down in order to have a strong base to grow from and add musicality and stylization. For more advanced students I again like to meet you where you are and incorporate some of the techniques that I have that will help you grow to the next level and give you the ability to perform any kind of genre and style of music because you have strong core techniques.

Since I have a variety of instruments and style I teach and since the needs of each student are different, I structure my materials and teaching methods for the individual. I particularly enjoy teaching beginners and young children. I've taught piano from many books including John Thompson books and Hal Leonard Series. Both my mother and grandmother were pianists and teachers. The teach classical guitar from the newer Aaron Shearer books (Mel Bay) and beginning guitar from my own books and other beginning guitar books (especially Mel Bay). Read More

Helping Singers realize their "Dream" is my passion. I gained international recognition as a vocal performer of note, having performed on the stages of Acapulco, Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapore, Aruba, Curacao and Buenos Aires, to name a few, as well as major U. S. cities. To date, I have two albums to my credit, "Time Wounds All Heels" and "The 23rd Psalm", the latter containing the highly acclaimed title song that while being performed at the 1984 National Baptist Convention musical in Los Angeles, received a standing ovation by some 6,000 listeners.

I create lesson plans for students based off of their passions. If a younger child has never read music before, success is usually found in working with music that they are interested in. If a student is beginning to study improvisation a similar approach is used with styles of soloists that they are very familiar with. Learning must be fun and it must improve ones understanding of the subject at the same time if it is to be rewarding. Read More

What makes me stand out from other piano instructors is that I use the Russian Piano-Schooling System approach. Playing piano is much more than just the action of fingers and hands. Teaching of the artistic image and musical intonation, not just mechanical repetition -- is what makes the Russian method so special and unique. My students are encouraged to deeply listen to the quality of the sound they produce, and to identify what needs to be done to improve it. Read More

I APPROACH TEACHING WITH A COMPASSIONATE UNDERSTANDING OF THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS INTERESTS AND DESIRED ACHIEVEMENTS. AS MY STUDENTS PROGRESS LIVE RECORDINGS BOTH VIDEO AND SOUND ARE TAKEN AS THE STUDENT GOES FURTHER ALONG IN HIS ABILITIES. WHEN A STUDENT ACTUALLY SEES HIS OR HER PROGRESSION ON A VIDEO OR WITH A LIVE RECORDING MOTIVATION AND ABILITY TO GO FURTHER ALONG IN TECHNIQUE AND STAGE OR FILM ABILITY. I HAVE PERSONALLY BEEN IN SEVERAL NATIONAL COMMERCIAL PRODUCTIONS AND HAVE PERSONALLY ACTED IN ROBIN COOKS TELEMOVIE "TERMINAL'. Read More
