Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
I have been teaching private piano and voice lessons to young and adult students for over 18 years. I teach music because I believe all human beings connect to it and feel something overtime they hear music. This motivates me to continue teaching as much as possible. I believe in teaching a diverse number of techniques and genres from Pop to Jazz to classical to my music students to gain a wide variety of techniques and general love for the many styles of music.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, its important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress and this makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the students, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

With 15+ years of experience performing, recording, arranging and coaching vocals, I'm very confident I can help you reach your singing goals! I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Major in Songwriting and as a Vocal Principle. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I started out teaching group sessions for local singers in Southern California at no cost for 4 years starting in 2013. Eventually, students from the group classes started to seek me out for individual lessons and I was also invited to be the lead vocal coach for a singing competition called ETTV Top Stars held by ETTV America in 2017 as well as 2019. Being an artist myself, I love teaching young aspiring artists the knowledge and watch the surpass how far I went in the entertainment business. Read More

After moving to Los Angeles, I began a mentorship with Tamara Beatty, who has been a vocal coach on The Voice for 10+ years. After college, I worked as a full-time talent manager in New York City and Los Angeles. Read More
Instruments: Voice
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I started college I had NO idea what I wanted to major in. I (quite literally) said to myself one day, "well, I've always loved to sing so why not be a music major?" Little did I know what that entailed and how much challenging work was ahead of me, but I'm forever grateful for it!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
There is no one in my direct family line that sings/plays music. My mother's art form comes by hand - she paints and draws beautiful pieces! Outside of that, my grandmother (my mother's mother) was into music, but in a different way. She played the washboard and spoons (yes, you read that correctly...an actual washboard with an actual set of spoon utensils!). We always loved listening to music together, her and I, which is a very special memory for me. I grew up hearing music in my home as my parents would always play vinyl records of various genres - so, thankfully, I have been exposed to great music my whole life!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I do play a little piano, but that's not an instrument that I teach. I do enjoy being able to play and sing for myself as pure enjoyment.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Musical Theater has been a huge passion in my life. I absolutely LOVE how it feels to be able to share the stories of the characters I've played. I feel so full of joy when i'm able to escape into a story and the opportunity that you get to bring your audience into it - knowing you are walking through a journey with them; it's pretty incredible!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I think at this point in my life, I would love to perform the role of Elphaba from Wicked. I've loved that musical since the day it came out and have always connected with this character. I love the depth of who she is and what she overcomes throughout the arch of her character/story.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I honestly can't imagine doing anything else in my life. I played soccer for many years growing up and really loved it, but was never great at it - so I'm super thankful that music worked out!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in Music: Emphasis in Voice. I did attend a community college to start and then transferred to a 4-year University to complete my education.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Warm-ups and/or placement exercises to start. Then addressing the material for that particular practice session - this could be addressing a trouble spot or character work or even just trying a new technique that might work better for the song. I try not to add TOO many points to work on in one session to keep it focused and consumable. Otherwise, I can sometimes be overwhelming for the mind, body and voice - less is more!
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I am open to any and all materials as long as it fits the student's needs. I have and do use Hal Leonard materials, but also use tracks from youtube, Spotify, and sheet music from Musicnotes.com or chords from Ultimateguitartabs.com...honestly, I'll use whatever I need to get the work done.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Ever since I was a child I've loved Mary Poppins. So, when I got the chance to audition for the role and then cast as Mary - I just felt like I was living out my childhood dreams!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I do have students that have competed in various competitions and made it far into the process, which I've been SO proud of. I also have a few students in the entertainment industry (film and music) that are currently recording in some really reputable places and that's been a wonderful journey to walk through with them.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Truthfully, I feel like the mental side of singing is the most difficult. If your mind is not trusting your voice, it can really inhibit your abilities...no matter how advanced or strong you are in your craft your mind HAS to be "on board" for your body and voice to perform freely.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have loved to sing ever since I was very little. I used to make up songs when I was a kid and just loved the way I could freely express myself through music. So, it only made sense to me when I got older to make this more of a career choice.
