Building a Strong Foundation: A solid technical foundation is essential for musical growth.

I incorporate improvisation, composition, and exploration of various musical styles to foster students' creativity and musicality. Read More

My teaching experience began in high school, as I began teaching children in a group setting. I worked at a children's educational summer camp where I instructed choirs and chorus singers for Musical Theater. During my time at OCU, I taught private voice lessons to students with diverse vocal goals. I have found that the best way to teach singing is to let your students sing! While discussing technique and concepts is important, it can never replace the experience of practicing with your voice. Read More
