So many teaching styles try to make music more of a science rather than a passion. Read More

My passion for singing had easily translated into my passion for teaching singing.

I am a persistent coach and I will ensure that the student is satisfied with their achievement I each and every class. Read More

The key to progress is a solid foundation. For all students I will focus on core techniques and practice habits - from there we will dive into repertoire. Through our discovery of what music elicits a passionate response we will tailor our work towards building a foundation that best fits each student. Materials will vary widely based on the students needs. I employ techniques such as the Jaques Dalcroze Method and the Alexander Technique - both of which are rooted in the physical aspects of playing music. Read More
