From there I will assign the appropriate method book; typically from the Rubank series. Read More

I now have two complete text books with copyrights along with practice recordings that I make available to my students. Read More

Instruments: Voice Music

My methods vary greatly dependent upon the needs of the student. For younger students, I start with early fundamentals (music in general, breathing, and confidence) through easy songs that are recognizable and fun to learn.
