Voice Lessons Shelby County, IN

Instruments: Voice

Being a student, I have experience from courses I took as part of my degree as preparation for teaching. In these courses, we were taught the fundamentals of the voice on a physiological level, and then had various discussions on how we, as teachers, can translate that to a potential student in a lesson. Part of the requirement for this course was doing field-work, so we all had the opportunity to practice our teaching skills. Read More

For beginning or new students I like to begin with the Faber and Faber lesson books, although I am flexible to use whatever methods course works best for each individual student. Once a student has some beginner playing skills and theory basics, I like to encourage them to pick songs that they enjoy playing. I focus on a combination of classical, Disney, pop, and jazz. I encourage students to practice on a regular basis, write in their music (if necessary), ask for help (communication with what is and isn't working is key to success), and to work in a step by step system to learning music.

I have extensive teaching experience in both public and private institutions as well as private studios. In my years of teaching, I have had the privilege of working with students of all ages - preschool through adult - and I enjoy the challenge of tailoring lessons to meet students where they are. I find that consistency, high expectations, and respect are the key to helping my students succeed. But most importantly, I want my students to know that I care about them! Read More

Instruments: Voice

My method is to build a solid repertoire list in whatever style of music the student prefers, and then work to a clear understanding of the characteristics necessary to sing in that style. I love having conversation with students to get to know them and find ways the music can relate to them. It also helps me make my teaching more relatable to them. I try to give all my students at least one piece of classical music to broaden their horizons and also to use the techniques they are learning in a different way. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Saxophone, Flute, Organ

I began teaching shortly after graduating from college, not expecting that teaching would be something I'd be too keen about. However, it has really grown on me and I love the gift of giving music to prospective students and watching them grow and learn as I once did. I have been teaching at various locations/businesses throughout the NJ area from as south as Swedesboro to as north as Trenton. Read More
