Hello! I am a classical vocalist and music instructor. As an operatic soprano, I have performed professionally with Opera Fort Collins, Opera Steamboat and in various concert settings in Dallas-Fort Worth. I graduated with my Master of Music from Colorado State University in 2019, where I served in both performance and teaching roles. I have taught music lessons in Texas and Colorado, at numerous schools, churches, and my private studio. I am passionate about helping students learn about themselves and life through the medium of music!
I have 8 years of experience teaching music lessons, to children as young as three through senior adults. I have instructed voice and general music at the middle school, high school, and college level. I serve as piano and voice instructor for the Loveland Academy of Music, and teach both instruments at my home studio and in my students' homes. I am confident in introducing music lessons to beginners, as well helping hone an advanced student's skills. I have experience in teaching students with special needs.
I make sure to first introduce my students musical fundamentals, then progress to repertoire that is appropriate for the students' age and skill level. I scaffold learning concepts and sequence them so that students can confidently progress from one level to another. Music theory is woven into my teaching methods, strengthening students' understanding of their instrument. For piano, I like to teach from the Faber Piano Adventures books. For voice, I implement vocal exercises that can be easily replicated and practiced.
I am passionate about sharing music with learners of all backgrounds, experience levels, and interests. My priorities as a music teacher are student-focused; I adapt my instruction to accommodate students’ different learning styles and cater to varying levels of prior knowledge. My mission as a teacher is to create a friendly learning environment for students to explore their instrument(s) and musical imaginations. My goal is to build lifelong learners and lovers of music, and to aid my students in reaching their artistic goals.
