I began teaching five years ago with a diverse studio that covered everything from musical theatre to hip hop. I currently teach at a music studio here in Jacksonville, where I have a large studio of private students as well as group music classes for elementary and preschool aged children. I emphasize exploration and curiosity and encourage my students to explore multiple genres of music. Classical voice is my favorite thing to teach but I love when my students bring me new and exciting pieces of all kinds to work on. Read More

My number one priority is to help a singer find "their special voice" through exercises that accommodate aural, and visual learning styles. These exercises lead to healthy singing and reduce tension, improve breath management, strengthen the voice, and increase range. I will also assist in my student's selection of a variety of appropriate arias and songs (including sacred, secular, and popular) for college / school auditions. Read More

For beginning adult students, I use the Faber Adult Piano Adventures series, as this is more tailored to older students. It is less focused on colorful visuals, and uses language geared toward older learners. Read More

I went on to be a part of the Rhode Island Children's Chorus, learning from Dr. Christine Noel. Eventually, in my high school years, I became an apprentice with the chorus and began teaching.

When I know what you want, I will map a finish line in my head. Here is where you want to be. However, when and how we get to that finish line is not something we can script. Every single lesson is a new adventure of discovering aspects of your instrument, problem-solving different hang-ups, and slowly moving forward in the different aspects of vocal music. We don't wish for the future. Read More
