Voice Lessons in Paradis, LA

Instruments: Voice

I am very proud to say that my students are not "cookie cutter" versions of my own singing, but rather each student is unique and individual in their sound. It is also very important to me that students immediately bring acting and performing into their singing, so I start this even with the very first song we work on. Performing/acting helps the vocal technique fall into place more easily, and always provides a more interesting result. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

My teaching style is extremely student centered. I help my students find the music that they love, and I help them play it musically. I focus on creating a nurturing environment where students can explore, take risks, and ask questions. I meld my content expertise with my ability to read people well and really help them find that path to success that works for THEM. There is no one-size-fits all approach to teaching music.

I began teaching private lessons seven years ago while pursuing my bachelor's degree in piano performance. I have had the opportunity to teach students with ages varying from 3 to adult. While in college, I studied Piano Pedagogy and our course taught in a group setting with 16 adults each week. I have given vocal lessons for the last year, and I have experience as a musical theater, operetta, and adult choral director. Read More

For begining students I like to start from a foundational stand point. It is very important to enstill good practice habits and technique in order not to develop bad habits in your playing. For drumming and other instruments, starting with rudiments, learning how to read music, and playing scales are a great way to help a student build their technique and ear up. I think it is really important to ask what kind of music the student is into or show them how the foundational basics can be used in an actual playing situation instead of just a boring regimented routine.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I create my own custom plans for each student. Different students have different needs and I format my lessons with that in mind. Keeping the student engaged while learning is the most important thing to me for lessons. My teaching pace is also based on the student and what he or she is capable of and comfortable with. I also make sure to help my students learn what they want to learn because some students may want to focus on performance while others might want to focus on music theory. Read More

I've been working with students since I was in high school (I'm now 30) and enjoy teaching all styles, levels and disciplines.  I specialize in many forms of Jazz, Swing and Bebop with a vast knowledge of Blues, Rock, Punk, and Popular Songs besides my classical singing repertoire.  My teaching style fits the student and will change depending on your wants and needs.  Warm ups and exercises are always encouraged as well as memorization and daily practice.
