My style of singing is called "Bel Canto", italian for beautiful singing. Smooth, flowing melodies, flatter the voice to help it become even, flexible and expressive. My student's voices will not wear out, but rather, they grow stronger and more responsive to their owners emotions. Students will learn about all the areas of the body in which the voice can travel, articulation and enunciation, and a huge array of vocal exercise. Read More

I am a passionate and energetic musician and teacher. Music is one of my favorite things in the world. It brings me great joy to pass my knowledge on to others.

I have a strong background in classical music, but the music I write is more Rock and Blues influenced. Read More

I began teaching privately and working with area high school marching bands during college in 2002. After graduation, I taught public school before transitioning to another job in the music industry. I've continued to teach privately in my church studio and students homes for the past 7 and a half years. Regular practice and lesson consistency shows how fast students can progress. My biggest goal is to assure my students the excitement when playing their instrument. Read More

I'm a recent graduate of Syracuse University, with a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Industry. I have played both the violin and piano since the age of four. Some of the greatest memories I have can be attributed to my experiences in music. In high school, I was able to tour Germany, the Czech Republic, and Austria with my school's symphony orchestra. I have been able to perform with Glenn Frey (founding member of the Eagles) and Jackson Browne. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a consistent time of day and a specific amount of time. Remind yourself that practicing is a gift you are giving yourself. While also and act of discipline, it is a time for self-nurturing and, ultimately, great pleasure.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Try it out once and see! If you’ve made it this far in seeking out lessons, chances are at least one lesson is worth a try.
When will I start to see results?
Thats depends on how much you practice :-) I make it my personal mission as a teacher to help my students learn how to practice during lesson time. Practicing should feel do-able, never daunting or mysterious. If the student isn’t growing with week to week lessons, regardless of how much outside time is put in, I am failing as their teacher.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Absolutely. I have been incredibly lucky in my musical career. The number of inspiring teachers that have helped me get where I am today is too many to list.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Learning how to use your voice, for singjng or otherwise, is one of the most self-empowering himan endeavors. I wanted to invest my time in something that would help me grow as a person as well as, as an artist.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My record label. I have worked very hard over the years to develop the necessary skill set for self-produced music, and I couldn’t be happier with what I have accomplished for myself in that respect.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One of my current vocal students was awarded a scholarship at OCC.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most difficult part of learning anything new and worth while is finding the discipline to develop consistency.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I gravitate towards the Bastien series as I feel it takes a good pace for most students and is very thorough in covering music theory. For more academically-minded students, I prefer the Keith Snell series.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
20-30 minutes of warming up and 30-40 minutes of technique in song.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My own compositions. It is hard to put into words the fulfillment that comes with writing and sharing one’s own music, though it is without a doubt profoundly gratifying.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I couldn’t do anything else and be happy.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I have a deep-seated love for all genres of music, and find that the most memorable artists are not limited by the boundaries of genre. I gravitate towards classical music, rock and EDM.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
It was a natural progression to shift from piano to voice. It was the next, necessary step.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have a very musical family, though to my knowledge I am the first musician.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I woke up one day and realized I was avoiding my greatest passion out of fear. That was the end of that.
