For children, I do not use books or complicate bibliography to teach. I encourage children to discover music through their own curiosity. Using historical imagery and references of the natural world that surrounds us, is very effective way to help children understand music.

While fairly new to teaching private lessons, I have taught musicians I have played with and other family members, friends, and others.

I began teaching as a teenager when I was in Ann Arbor's psychedelic rock band SPROTON LAYER. I have taught friends and family off and on for many years. During the economic crash in 2009, I took a course on Teaching to understand different age groups and varied approaches in learning. Since then, I have taught steadily and found it very rewarding. One of the hardest things to get across to the Student is that the single most important thing to do is Play. Read More

Instruments: Voice

This gives you the foundation you need to sing music from Bach and Mozart to Folk and Pop or Broadway-style music from shows like Cats and Hamilton. My experience in professional theater sets me apart as a teacher who can help students develop artistry, and sing expressively to touch the hearts of those who listen. I use positive teaching methods that build self-confidence and the ability to be completely natural on stage. Read More
