Foundations for Superior Performance, Standards of Excellence, Essential Elements, and A Fresh Approach are great method books I start beginners-intermediate students on. They are also great reference materials to use for all ages and levels. Once we have developed the fundamentals, I start using harder material from professional musicians and solo material meant for performances. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I am all about knowledge! Knowing information about music theory, songwriting, proper vocal techniques to ensure healthy vocal chords, gaining confidence, knowing how to market or brand youself, understanding management of an artist, booking shows, knowing how to put on a show are all things we can eventually move to once we have learned the fundamentals of singing. I want to make sure you create your own sound and style! Read More

Instruments: Saxophone

While I find most beginning band method books to be effective, I often integrate exercises from saxophone-specific texts, such as: Larry Teal's Saxophonists Workbooks, Rubank Method books of all levels, and for more advanced students Rascher's Top Tones and Londeix's Le Detache. I possess a wide knowledge of repertoire across genres, and cater to students' individual interests. While I foster technical development, I place my main emphasis on the students' enjoyment of the music they are performing, and believe that at every age and skill level one can perform confidently given the appropriate repertoire.

Instruments: Piano Voice

I began teaching private tutoring sessions to underclassmen while I was studying songwriting at Berklee College of Music. I tutored my friends in ear training, harmony, and performance/audition technique. I found the process came quite naturally to me because I brought the knowledge I had of teaching piano and voice to children in high school to the table. It is so gratifying to see the look on a student's face when they start to comprehend what it is you're teaching them! Read More
