Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Electric Violin

My teaching style is all about getting the student to love music! There is nothing else that will be a greater and more honest motivator than loving what they are doing. Singing, games and dancing are great when the little ones get distracted or discouraged. I make sure to let everyone know that music isn't easy; it's hard and takes a lot of hard work and practice. But it is worth every minute of being able to play anything you desire. Read More

I believe every person has their own unique voice. No one will ever sound exactly like you and you will never sound exactly like any one else.

Having solid technique, you can sing any genre of music you desire. Read More

Instruments: Drums
