Instruments: Voice

My teaching experience encompasses five years of teaching private lessons to people of all ages, backgrounds, and voice types. I have successfully helped students nail Broadway, film, college, and community theatre auditions. I love to challenge students and help them overcome any obstacles in their voice. Singing is such a vulnerable and sensitive instrument mostly because it is not visible to the human eye. Therefore, I use all the resources I've gained from performing, teaching and my education to provide students with the support and guidance to follow their dreams. Read More

My teaching style is very down to earth and fully based on the desires of the students. If you want to learn rock music and only rock music that is what we will learn. I may work in some other genres and songs that are directly linked to the style of music that you want to learn. But the student's interests are the main focus. I believe and have come to understand musicians are made in a variety of ways. Read More

I am a very patient teacher and I understand that students learn at different paces. Therefore I set realistic goals that the student can achieve and WANT to achieve.

My methods as a teacher begin primarily with emphasis on fundamentals, i.e Bow hand position, violin position. I emphasize the need to practice on a consistent basis. As in any walk of life, there will be little to no improvement unless you do so. I also believe in treating each student differently, however, as there are some who simply want to have fun and learn something new. I like to set goals and time markers so as to make sure students are progressing in a healthy manner. Read More
