Music Lessons in Scottdale, PA

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

I am a passionate, hard-working singer and instructor who loves to encourage and motivate beginning and intermediate singers to become more confident in their study of music. In 2019, I graduated from Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music with my Masters in Early Music Voice, where I engaged in intense performance study of baroque and renaissance music along with many other styles. My performances and recordings have a particular focus on early seventeenth-century English and Italian vocal repertoire, which gives me the unique opportunity to allow historical research to inform my performances of the repertoire.

I have always focused on teaching each student holistically.

Listening homework is as important as practicing. I teach simple editing and technology to supplement the experience. Read More
