I believe in developing five core areas in musicianship: Theory/Understanding, Technique, Creativity, Reading, and Versatility. Initial lessons will identify the students strong points and weak points, and a personal strategy will be employed to help strengthen and balance the student overall. Many beginning classical musicians are able to read fairly well but have little to no comprehension of how and why the music works; while many contemporary musicians may have "chops" but lack in their ability to read and/or have proper technique.

Instruments: Piano Voice

My teaching style, particularly with my younger students, is to combine yoga-like breathing and proper posture to develop their voice naturally.

I like to teach voice in a free, forgiving environment where mistakes are encouraged. Read More
