Instruments: Voice

My private voice teacher in college was truly an inspiration and expanded my voice. He formed my philosophy that voice study should always begin with the natural voice. I begin with the voice my student has- this provides a healthy singing experience that will last a lifetime! I believe healthy singing should always be the basis instruction regardless of genre. The same concept applies to guitar instruction. Improper guitar technique can cause joint damage over time! Read More

I typically teach with method books as references for younger students, occasionally using printouts to give to students to take home and study in order to have a better undertanding of what was gone over in class. As students become more proficient in music reading and theory understanding, we develop an understanding of what the student would prefer to learn in regards to genre and focus on that, and the technical aspects of playing that lead to proficiency in that genre and style.
