Piano: For beginning students who are children, i typically start with Alfred's Basic Piano Methods. Once students have developed the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in. I will then guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun no matter their ability level. Voice: For beginning students, I will explore the voice types (Soprano, Mezzo Soprano, Tenor, Baritone, Bass) by learning vocal scales in order to determine the repertoire appropriate for each individual student.

Premieres of my works have also been made by the locally-based Balance Campaign and Strata Trio. I believe the role of an artist goes hand-in-hand with the role of an educator: both have a strong sense of moral responsibility.

The ability to imagine and create is nothing less than paramount in giving future generations ways to cope, communicate, and address this worlds age-old problems. Read More
