I am open to a wide variety of teaching methods! By not committing to one specific method, I allow myself to be flexible and respond to my student's needs. For example; if a student has limited eyesight, as a previous student of mine had, I will focus on teaching by-wrought rather than by using written notation. I take extreme care planning lesson plans for my students, and often find myself thinking what would best help my students in my off time. Read More

For piano lessons I generally prefer to use the Alfred curriculum, but am well versed in other options should the student already be accustomed to certain styles.

As a voice teacher, I employ a Bel Canto technique, and specialize in a Musical Theater Style and Classical Background. Read More

I believe that high-level training is the diligent pursuit of quality and detail - and that talent is simply how one approaches ANY new material. Read More
