Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio and conservatories/colleges more than 18 years. Encouraging regular practice is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I encourage my students to enter competitions and recitals, since I believe the performance motivates and help to grow any level of students. Read More

I'm a soulful and dedicated instructor who enjoys sharing and working with students who love music the same way I do. In 2010 I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Music in Professional Music. I've had the opportunity to share the stage with some of the most significant and legendary artists in the Latin scene. I've had the privilege of performing at the Latin Billboards in Miami, as well as singing in Turkey with the Istanbul State Symphonic Orchestra. Read More

Instruments: Voice

The exercises are designed to work through the process of singing, allowing students the ability to employ their unique voices. I teach using plain language that is developmentally appropriate and grounded in anatomy and the physical practice of singing. This allows me to help guide students to independence and understanding about how to best mobilize their voices without the use of mysterious imagery that, at best, only works sporadically. Using my strong understanding of vocal anatomy and development, I tailor my explanations so they are developmentally appropriate for all ages. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! It is important that each student progresses at their own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson, acknowledging accomplishments, fueling a students desire to progress, and finding ways to stimulate a students desire to learn more. My style is adaptive to each student but overall I am conversational, goal oriented, and keen to explore the strengths and doubts of each student. Read More

For beginning voice students I usually start with breathing techniques, which I believe are the basis of good vocal technique, then vocal warm-ups, and singing repertoire. I am very flexible in following the interests and goals of the student, which are always my guide in lesson planning. For beginning piano students, I usually use the books, Hanon, Piano Adventures, Burgmüller and Czerny depends on their interests and the levels. Read More

My teaching methods are individually tailored to the student's needs and abilities. For young students and/or for those with less voice experience, I like to combine the basics of singing along with musicianship skills to set the student up for success, incorporating lots of fun to keep the young students interested in practice and lessons. For more experienced students, I like to start with warmups and exercises that are designed to set the student up for success in repertoire, and then finish the lesson working through repertoire specifically working through challenging areas of each piece and finding an emotional connection to each piece once ideal technique is established.
