I am not a passive bystander at lessons; I jump right into the music and guide students on how to best read and play each song. A theory-centered approach to piano is very important. When your child takes lessons, he or she won't merely learn how to play piano, but how to understand and love all music. Every child is capable of learning how to play piano and of being proud of what they have accomplished. Read More

I have my BM and I am working on my Masters in Vocal music Education. My passion is to teach young and old of any experience level to overcome stage fright, to improve their voices, to practice, to give advice, and above all educate them in music theory, sight reading, and music history. I am adaptable to different learning types whether you are a kenestetic, an auditory, or a visual learner. Read More

Singing is all about breathing techniques. No matter your age or vocal development, it is imperative that one learns how to breathe correctly. After teaching proper breathing techniques, I introduce many fundamentals of music, such as simple vocal warm ups and sight singing exercises. Of course, as we move into repertoire choices, I always try to find out what my students are interested in singing. I have sung a wide variety of singing styles in my day, so I feel confident in teaching whatever repertoire my students choose to sing. Read More
