Instruments: Voice

Being a professional session vocalist has really helped me relate to my students in a very authentic and powerful way. Because I am well-versed in several styles and genres of music, I am able to relate not just on a technical level with my clients, but also in the areas of song interpretation and artistic direction. I absolutely love sewing into the lives of my singers and artists and helping them find their musical identity! Read More

It is so rewarding to see a students eyes light up when they learn a new musical thought or concept! All students are different from one another, some have a harder time understanding certain elements in music, everyone has a different personality with strengths and weaknesses. So I ALWAYS treat my students as an individual. Comparing any student with another can damage the self confidence of the one that may be struggling. Read More

I like to tailor my lesson plans to the student, and their individual needs. For younger, new students, I like to teach technique, and classic songs, while teaching the early stages of theory, and music reading. For intermediate students, I like to drill scales, harmony, and sight reading techniques, to advance their own skills. If you are looking to apply to music school, I do prep courses on what to expect from the audition process, and what to look for when you apply. Read More

I'm a very passionate coach and will teach you how to teach yourself. There will be lessons where we will pick a skill you want to learn and you will teach me how to develop that skill. Retention is paramount while learning. I've found that your ability to retain information is dramatically increased if you teach the information to others...as high as 80% (average is 40%), thats double. If I can motivate you to learn and you become passionate about your craft, I can learn from you as well. Read More

I teach students of a variety of ages and skill levels and I enjoy developing unique curriculum to fit each students needs and stylistic interests while incorporating elements of theory, ear training, singing and general music fundamentals into the lessons. I feel that teaching using real songs is the best and most engaging way to learn. I generally try to avoid teaching from a method book and instead work with a student to find what music excites them and use that as a way to introduce fundamentals. Read More
