My experiences in and out of the classroom continuously pushes me to evolve my philosophy and teaching style. Music is not just about singing or playing the right notes and lyrics. It is about making connections from most personal experiences through the most universal language. This is the kind of experience I hope to share with my students through music in a safe, challenging, and creative environment. It doesn’t matter whether students are seasoned musicians or first-time singers. Read More

I've found that the most effective way to teach fundamentals is to do it within the context of my students' favorite songs. This provides instant gratification as the student is able to play something they know and like while at the same time they're learning the techniques they'll need for more complicated challenges in the future. For younger students who haven't developed their own taste in music yet I introduce them to songs of many different styles so that they can start to determine where they want to go musically in the future.

I first ask my students many questions about their relationship to music and where do they want music to take them. I tailor my lesson plan for each student by taking into careful consideration their musical background as well as their objectives. I customize a plan that is comfortable to their pace and helps them achieve their goals. By reaching small manageable short term goals my students gain skills and confidence. Read More

PIANO / KEYBOARD For beginning students who are children, for piano I typically set out with Hal Leonard's PIANO Adventures of Nancy and Randall Faber. I've invariably found it easy in teaching a new student how to read music and learn the language of music. Reading music is important and relatively easy to teach. Playing by ear is also very important, and I make it easy to learn for my students. Read More

We Help Preparing ABRSM Practical and Theory Exams I use different lessons plan for different students; Typically, all my students have their own unique plans and goals in order to help them to enjoy music and achieve their goals. Most of the time, students will pick what they are interested in, and at the same time, I teach students on what they need to know. No matter what level they are, I always keep it as fun as possible to keep them motivated. 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.
