Im a dedicated piano teacher whose goal is to nurture a lifelong love of music in my students. My passion for piano started at a young age and continued throughout my college years and career.

Instruments: Voice
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was first inspired by Mr. Lawrence Lohman, my high school choir director. He also taught voice classes, which made me excited to sing. He helped me conquer my fear of singing in front of a crowd, as well as helped me understand what works for my voice and what does not. I also had the inspiration from David Leighton, who further guided me with the technique that I first learned from Mr. Lohman. What I loved about David's teaching was how passionate he was for every aria he provided me. His knowledge about the background of the piece was fascinating to me, and made me even more thrilled to sing the piece. Another incredible inspiration was Franco Bertacci. Hearing his voice and seeing how easy it can be to teach was empowering to me. He made me feel I could sing at my full potential in the simplest way. I have studied his techniques and have provided it into my own teaching.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I feel when it comes to practicing, it is important to sing/hear the exercises in the correct way, as well as the incorrect way. This will help the student understand how the sound should feel in their voice, as well as in their body. They will notice right away if something does not feel right, whether it is tension somewhere on the mouth, an uncomfortable segment change, or there is a lack of energy. It is also important to practice effectively in order to keep the voice progressing. It is easy to forget to practice or to not care for it, but making time for yourself to warm up will make the voice feel incredible when it is time to sing songs.
When will I start to see results?
Usually, students will start to notice results in the first lesson. They can feel the difference in the voice right away when trying out new techniques. For long term results and a full expansion of the voice, this will take years to develop. However, as long as the practice is maintained and the passion is there, the results will continuously happen. This style of teaching is great for consistent progress and comfort in the voice. Often times, a student will not hear the progress the way the teacher does. I will always let the student know if I hear a change in the voice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I feel any child is ready for lessons once their interest for an instrument has piqued. A great way to encourage your child for lessons is to have them watch videos of their favorite musician. Your child can watch the musician's hand play an instrument, watch them sing in a microphone, or they can hear a song that makes them want to play/sing just like them! Another way to help your child be prepared is having them find a song they want to work on. If they have a favorite song, it can encourage them to want to improve the song and give them ideas for making it sound the way they want it to be!
