I'm a young Baritone vocalist who currently studies vocal performance at the Florida State University College of Music in Tallahassee, Florida. I've been playing the piano and singing since 2008, when I began my formal training in both disciplines. Although my primary focus is in classical music, I have also had years of experience in Jazz, Musical Theatre, and Pop genres with both instruments. One of my favorite musical memories that I've made is when I was given the opportunity to sing Leonard Bernstein's "Chichester Psalms" on the stage of Carnegie Hall in New York City. Read More

My approach to teaching focuses on the importance of fundamental exercises. Along with this, I work with the student to create a dialogue that reinforces their interest in lessons. We apply these techniques directly to music-making in order to create a fun, satisfying, and rewarding experience. I have a passion for making music and I love to share that with others. When teaching new students, I believe it is important to establish that music-making is supposed to be a gratifying experience, with communication being a key factor: if a student doesn't understand something or needs further explanation, I am more than happy to work with that student so that they feel confident moving forward.

First of all I am voice teacher, as I have very good vocal education and experience. But I like very much to teach piano too. I prefer to combine vocal lessons together with piano lessons. It is very good working in both ways - just for fun or for professional development. Your child will be able to sing songs, to play some music and to know music grammar. But also are possible just voice or just piano lessons. Read More
