I teach out of a few method books when it comes to percussion. Vocals is more of a discovery process while utilizing some neat exercises to build vocal chord strength. With a drummers they can learn multiple ways to do the same application, while a vocal student only has their one voice to work with. I always teach fundamentals, and will focus a lot on it depending on the students needs, to help them achieve a goal they have set out to achieve. Read More

Instruments: Voice

For beginning students, whether they are children or adults, I typically start with an introduction to main vocabulary words that will be used often during classes and a lesson in diaphragmatic breathing for singing.

I try to meet every student at their level. I mold my lessons to the student's aspirations and goals. If a student is only taking lessons for fun, then the repertoire we choose can be very flexible. If they are trying to get into college or to audition for a program, we will choose repertoire together that is appropriate and puts them in the best light. I will push a student proportionally to how hard they work. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Clarinet, Recorder

For the more advanced, I will start with a few warm-ups, and breath exercises before singing a short song (happy birthday, and/or prepared piece) before determining vocal range and repertoire.

I teach them to build a strong sound from open G and never leave a lesson until they can play a recognizable tune as they are learning the beginning concepts of breathing and technique. Read More
