I began teaching Private Lessons when I was 17 to elementry school age students and fell in love with it immediatley, I love sharing with others and figuring out how to make the impossible possible. Music can seem mysterious or daunting at first, but my job is to break it down in a methodical way to help my students digest a song/topic and reveal the way a "mystery" functions. Since highschool I've always had a handful of students that I've worked with weekly in my private studio. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Music Tree and Basien beginning piano. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and enjoyable, no matter their ability level. Read More

Today I have private voice students in New York and Colombia, in person and also online. I'm always looking for better methods that will help my students in their path and thats why I constantly investigate books and new styles. Together my students and I are motivated to prepare their recitals and competitions for school or other bigger challenges. I love to help them be the best they can be.      Read More

I beleive that the most important part of playing music is the joy of it. It is very important for me that the student will enjoy playing and enjoy coming to the lesson, and have a positive experience of making music. I can notate and arrange almost every song the student wants- and I do it! My students enjoy the privillage to learn every song they hear, with a special arrangement for the student's level and skills. Read More

If one has no faith in their own voice their music will show lack of structure. Next, knowing what type of sound one wants to deliver or put out into the world is important, because no one wants to feel uncomfortable singing something that isnt for them. People receive more when the artist or vocalist shows confidence and a natural joy or love for what their singing. So knowing what kind of singer and style you want to sing in is important.

I always start my lessons off with vocal exercises in order to assess the status of the voice and what we need to work on, and also what progress has been made since our last session, if any. In order to keep my students interested, I like to work on repertoire that theyre interested in and that they select. I definitely suggest pieces that I think might help practice areas of their vocal technique that they would like to improve, but I also want to make sure its music that they like and want to sing.
