Voice Lessons in Stevenson Ranch, CA

Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Ukulele

For beginners, I firmly believe in establishing strong fundamentals. However, you can't spell fundamentals with out "fun"! So, even while building fundamentals, music lessons should be fun and geared toward what the student wants out of all of this. Whether that's learning a specific song, style, cool musically visual trick, or just jamming, I'm here for it all! Musical journeys are specific to the individual and therefore there is no one path that all students must follow. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

My teaching style, both for voice and piano, is eclectic and really geared to each individual student. I believe in starting where the student is at, and always try to instill a sense of confidence and joy in each student. Teaching music is more than just teaching technique and songs--it is really working with the whole person. I love to see how a student develops, both musically and personally. In my years of teaching, I've experienced students having some wonderful transformations as performers and people. Read More

Instruments: Voice

The voice is a very personal instrument to learn how to use in a musical sense because it forms a large part of our identity. Everybody has a unique voice and requires a unique treatment in order to fine tune it and use it to sing beautifully. When it comes to songs, I like to work with three songs at a time: a classical song in Italian, a musical theater/show tune piece, and a song chosen by the student. Read More
