I love the art of communicating or telling a story through music.

Every student has an experience unique to themselves. I am strict about meeting the goals developed by each student. However, the learning process is highly individual.

I like to work on a piece of repertoire and tell we have perfected whatever the main goal of the piece is. Read More

I worked in a pre-school for over three years before I decided to pursue music fully. I began by establishing my own band with our own unique musical style that incorporates influences from cultures through out the world! Working with my band, I would sometimes give them singing lessons with the information I had learned from my own (exceptional) Voice Teacher. It was by applying my teaching skills to teach the singing techniques/ abilities that I had acquired through my own lessons and self-study, that I discovered that I can teach voice lessons! Read More
