For beginner piano students, I have found the Faber Piano Adventures books to be quite successful. For other lessons, I try to tailor them to each student and find materials that fit with their unique music goals. I have drawn from a variety of music resources, as well as my own knowledge, to help students learn through their own unique way of thinking. I believe it is important to build off of the skills that students already have, and to find ways to support them as they grow in other areas. Read More

My lessons for vocalists are divided into two sections: technique and repertoire. For singers, breath management skills are of primary importance as this directly affects intonation. I like to begin with Anne Peckham's The Contemporary Singer. My students can choose any songs they would like to sing while we work on musicianship skills including expression and lyrical phrasing. Singers who want to study jazz and improvisation use one or more of my pedagogical texts on scat singing. Read More

There is nothing I love more than watching my students meet their singing goals and further their love of music. I meet all of my students where they are, and work with whatever skill set they have, to help them become the musicians they dream of being. I do this by encouraging regular practice sessions, and assigning music that they are passionate about learning. I always acknowledge their accomplishments, big or small, because they all matter and are all a crucial part of becoming better. Read More

I mainly have experience with teaching younger children general music.

Yet my degree program has prepared me for private instruction, with a class on vocal pedagogy. Read More

For more advanced students, I like to lean towards assigning some transcriptions to learn, and hand-picking what artists' playing will benefit my students the most. For all students, I also enjoy diving into some music theory and explaining why things work and why things in music make sense! Most of all, I want to make sure my students are engaged, having a good time, and are given enough material to work with in and out of lesson time to make sure that they have the tools to be the best musician they can!
