Instruments: Voice
I always begin by figuring out how I can best teach a student by asking them their interests and goals for singing; whether they want to sing jazz or provide vocals for their rock band, or learn to sing classically, etc. For all students who are atleast in their teens or older, I begin by describing how singing works and talk about the function of the body in singing. I usually use pictures from anatomy books to help point out the key organs and muscle groups that are engaged in healthy singing, so as to give a visual aid of what we are working to condition for singing.

Instruments: Guitar Voice
I approach teaching with an empathetic, open mind. I truly want to get to know my students and their goals, so I can help them the best I can. I'm very patient and will push a student to do more but at their own pace. I help students use mindset and visualization tricks to unlock new potential. I'm very motivation oriented and encourage my students as best I can when things are more difficult. Read More

Hello, I am a guitarist of about ten years, and a teacher of about five. I am passionate about music of all sorts. I have experience performing in multiple genres across the board, and also play and teach other instruments. I am a music major at Crafton Hills College, and am still in the process currently. I am an adept teacher and have taught many students on the guitar, taking them from beginners or intermediates to advanced players with high musical proficiency. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
While studying to complete my BA through Cal Poly Pomona, I have had the privilege of touring with Cal Poly Pomona's University Concert Choir for at least three years. I have been heavily involved with this choir for a total of 5 years, and I was appointed as Section Leader for the Sopranos for one term, which meant hard work and dedication almost paid off back then. This was the period of my gigging days because some of these tours were paid tours where all of singers were paid to perform around SoCal. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My 5 years of teaching experience, and 20+ years of performing experience has helped me gain a storehouse of helpful knowledge, wisdom and methods. Having worked with all voice types, I have learned that each voice is unique and should be treated as such. I have always allowed my students to work at their own pace, but I have also learned when it is more beneficial to help push my students. As a performer, I have been commended for my artistry.

I generally use different methods with different students. Since I expect excellence, I tend to treat students as professional colleagues, expecting them to work as hard and effectively as I do. I tend to develop my own methods as we progress, encouraging introspection by the student and developing a sense of musical independence. Success is subjective; enjoying one's journey is not. If a student is not enjoying the process then what's the use? Read More

I Try to get away from mechanism without joy. Everything has to be close to the music. Exercises to be actually doing them with a rhythm and time. Other than doing things musically, practicing in different times and intentions help a lot for the student to be open to play songs in different ways. Technique and theory are necessary tools. To apply concepts musically they need to do it with musical taste. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always take 3-5 min to warm up your voice. Don't stress yourself out by feeling the need to do a TON of warmups (especially, if you don't have the time), but do something. Don't overwhelm yourself with running a song 10 times over, but rather work on sections of the song so it's more consumable. If you spend all of your practice time working on a phrase or a vocal run or even a tricky interval - that's "positive practice time". It does you no good to just simply "run though" your song if you aren't stopping at the trouble spots to work on them and build "positive muscle memory/strength".
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Simply put - if they have the desire to do so. That might sound "surface" to say, but it's true. There's no sense in pushing anyone to take a lesson if they don't have the desire to do so. If they're under 6, I would recommend a small school choir or jamboree (group) music class to assess their focus and interest in singing. (Sometimes they just like to make sound with other kids, which is great - but private lessons may not be for them at that time). If they're older and show an interest, I always say to try it out for a month or two and then re-assess. If they're practicing and still intrigued by the lessons, then continue. If not, sometimes taking a break to see if they miss it or not will give you a good idea.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone is SO different, so keep that in mind. If the student is actively practicing during the times in between lessons, then you typically see some improvement in months 2-3 (but, again, that's also depending on the person). If the student is more advanced, you might see an improvement within one lesson just purely based on a shift in technique. The important thing to remember is that the improvements might be as small as singing a little louder or hitting a higher/lower note than before but that's still growth we celebrate.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have been blessed with a variety of wonderful vocal instructors over the years. When I started seriously studying music in college, I had a professor (who I’m still friends with to this day) that came along side me to guide and encourage me to success. I was not fortunate enough to have the same musical education (growing up) as my peers did. However, she saw my determination and said to me, "you have a very small window to still succeed in this career. If you really want this and are willing to work extra hard to catch up, I will help you". Because of her, I was able to graduate with a music degree and continue on to be the performer/teacher I am today.
The other teacher I was fortunate to be inspired by was someone I studied with from Nashville during the pandemic. She saw my desire for singing and was able to help me work through my on personal challenges in a NEW way. Through this I was able to get rid of my muscle tension and mental blocks that were preventing me from breaking through my "ceiling". Because she took the time to walk me through what were MY individual challenges, I was able to reach new heights and feel encouraged to keep going!
