I started teaching in January of 2014 and havent stopped since. In the almost 4 years Ive been doing this, Ive enjoyed growing and developing as both a teacher and musician.

Ive taught in multiple settings, including privately, group lessons, as part of a studio, and in a church setting with both an adult choir and childrens choir. Read More

I like to teach to the interests and ability levels of my students. I believe in keeping lessons light and fun, while maintaining a strong emphasis on guiding my students toward becoming musically literate. A typical lesson for a younger student may include board games and coloring pages in addition to traditional "on instrument" time. I also strive to integrate technology in to my lessons, whether by using iOS apps as teaching supplements, or by monitoring home practice through a "flipped" classroom approach. Read More

Lessons need to be fun but at the same time the student needs to feel like they're making real progress. What I do is slow down whatever we're working on to a manageable pace for the student then slowly speed things up in a way that is comfortable for the student while at the same time providing new challenges and goals for the student to work toward. If the student is willing I also give the student the opportunity to perform live in front of their friends and family in real shows at real venues around town. Read More
Instruments: Voice
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I learned how to play the piano and then learned to sing. I also learned other types of instruments.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I was very young, I began singing and learning several instruments. I have been very lucky to have such wonderful teachers helping me from learning and then into becoming a professional. Over all these years of singing, I have loved every part of it: from Broadway, Opera, and many other styles!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Several teachers from kindergarten to post-Bachelor degree "took me under their wing" and encouraged me to sing whatever I loved. I was always eager to learn and would sing my heart out washing dishes or on a bycicle ride. Singing is within everyone!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I loved to sing from when I was a little girl; I also wanted to learn piano because my fingers loved the sound. I'm happy to accompany, but my greatest desire above all else has been to sing in public
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Winning the National Association of Teachers of Singing for New England and then offered roles around all New England states and invited to sing a major role in Carlisle Floyd's opera. I have sung many roles in Opera, been asked to sing an hour or two of songs from 1400 to the present. I have taught in many universities.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I also am a poet and writer. It have been wonderful to have several books published!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream was to sing in Broadway and Opera and have been so excited to do many roles!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have three degrees in singing, opera and learning how to communicate with people around the world!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice is reviewing the songs I love, and making them better and better!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Finding your true voice through open throat, diaphragm breathing, facial bond opening and finally feeling all in the body as a singer-actor
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, many. They all have graduated or are intending to choose music for their degree. Almost all of these wonderful students have gone into professional life as singer-teacher. Some have song around the world!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love singing all types. I have been asked to sing all types of songs. I love them all!
When will I start to see results?
Many students will see results at the first lesson. Most will feel their singing open and a little later feel their breathing become part of their natural feeling. Singing becomes so much easier and fulfilling!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice with all your heart, learning the exercises and have as a goal to memorize the songs. Choose music you love and feel comfortable and happy with!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child is ready, they will become happy after a few lessons. If a child does not want to practice or attend lessons, wait a bit.
