I love helping people discover their unique potential and passion for music!

I generate an individualized course of study for each student. Beginning students typically begin with the Faber method, to make sure they develop a strong foundation for future study. As they progress, I begin to introduce age-appropriate repertoire. My more advanced students focus on musicianship technique as well as repertory. Depending on the goals for each student, I will work on jazz, classical, or contemporary styles. I also love working with students on concepts for improvisation and composition! Read More

My method of teaching attunes to the student needs, and flexible when it comes to pieces but I always try to integrate classical music for I believe that it is basic foundation in piano playing. Sometimes I let the student choose any music she likes to learn and try to modify accordingly to the student's level. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Have you ever seen the movie Mr. Holland’s Opus? If you haven’t, go find it immediately. That movie is about an educator who touched more lives than he ever could have imagined over the course of 30 years.
I am extremely lucky because I have many Mr. Holland’s Opus teachers in my life.
My favorite voice teacher ever is Richard Poppino. He was my voice teacher, opera director, and department head at OSU. He was the first teacher that made me believe I had a future performing. We still remain great friends and I consider him a wonderful mentor. He is one of many who have propelled me into my career.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I am a firm believer that there is a difference between working hard and working smart.
To practice effectively, you have to be able to identify what needs to most work. After pin pointing that, you put in the most work there. Often this is “the hardest” phrase of the piece and it just needs a little extra love.
Singing a song over and over again does not equal effective practicing.
Skipping out on practicing, while tempting, is also not effective.
My best advice is to have a set practice time and stick to it.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The best way to tell if your child is ready is if they want to. If they are interested in singing. If they gravitate towards music.
In my own technique, I adjust to what my students need and therefore I will never be overwhelming them with anything they aren’t ready for.
In my own background, I started out with different music lessons in my childhood and didn’t start taking proper voice lessons until my voice was quite developed.
While I got a lot of what I needed from the multiple choirs I was a part of, the main thing I missed out on was repertoire! And having someone one on one to help tailor what I should be singing.
The short answer is that I am a professional singer, no matter, but I did hit roadblocks in my youth that held me behind the competition.
When will I start to see results?
This is not a one size fits all question or answer. Referring back to the question about effective practicing, results can only be found once you’ve put in the effort. However, I’ve had students be instantly surprised immediately if I’ve helped access something they’ve never experienced before. This could be a very simple adjustment or it could be hitting a note they had no idea they had in them.
This is very much dependent on the rapport between teacher and student and the effort and preparation each have brought to the table.
