I am an enthusiastic, compassionate, energetic teacher who loves teaching voice and piano! I love building enthusiasm for music of all types and genres! In 2022, I graduated from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music with high distinction in Vocal Performance. I have had opportunities to perform in venues like the historical Old Cabell Hall, the Kennedy REACH Center for the Arts, the PowerStation recording studio, the Cutting Room, and Green Room 42 (two historic venues in New York City).

Regardless the ability level of the students and their goals, in the lessons I cover the two pillars of vocal art: Technique and Expressivity. We will work on our posture, breath management, resonance balance, articulation, registers and we will also focus on the dramatic part of singing, creating a dramatic circumstance for each song we explore. There must be a reason for you to say the words you are saying, singing is about sharing a message! Read More

When teaching guitar I often use the Hal Leonard Method for younger students. I am a big fan of the Berklee Modern Method books for those who learn a little faster. For piano I also have found several methods I like and often use the Hannon Piano exercise book as supplement. For voice I like to record the lessons so the student can practice what we've worked on at home. Read More

I create my own lesson plans based off of the individual student. For voice students, we usually warm up, do technical exercises working on varying registers and techniques, and then work on repertoire. I often find the passages in a particular song that the student is struggling with and focus in on those, finding exercises to guide the student. For instrumental students, I work on a lot of music theory and reading, for students of all levels and ages. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I believe every person has their own unique voice. No one will ever sound exactly like you and you will never sound exactly like any one else. In my voice studio we work on finding your own voice, and then nurture that voice with good solid vocal technique, based on freedom of breath, and freedom from tension and strain. Having solid technique, you can sing any genre of music you desire. Read More
