Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I teach harmony, rhythm, technique, melody, and basic sight reading by a two fold approach. First is to really feel into the music. This means learning to listen deeply with curiosity, intention, respect, and joy bringing the meaning of play into every aspect of learning. The second part is to begin with the basics of music theory by grounding fully into the fundamentals. Learning to work in forms that may seem like an alien language at first but when systematically approached with patience, dedication, and a spirit of playfulness and fun will open up and begin to reveal paths into learning and understanding that will greatly increase ones ability to engage in all musical forms.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Guitar Method as well as learning their favorite songs. For adults, I find out what the students are interested in, and guide my instruction accordinly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter they are beginners, songwriters, blues,jazz, classical, pop, funk, rock, fusion lovers or advanced players.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Electric Guitar
My experience takes me straight out of high school. I have been a drum tech at West Johnston High School since Fall of 2015. Since then I've risen in the ranks and have taken a much bigger role. In between all of that, I've all taught at Wake Christian Academy as Percussion director for about a year. I've given a couple of students from that school private lessons and I've encouraged all of them to become better and more educated in the marching arts! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I strive to make my students as passionate about music as I am! I encourage students to try their best and reach they accomplishments. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a student reach their personal goals. I use my own methods and the students desires to create a personal lesson plan. I realize each student has a different learning style so I will always asses the best way to teach them using a variety of materials. 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.
