I am 31 years old, originally from the bay area. I attended Los Medanos College for Vocal performance and Musical Theory. I took vocal lessons from "In The light" Voice studio from 1992-2010, and in the 20+ years that I have been singing, I have performed at many fundraisers, festivals, Churches, weddings, clubs, and other venues. I have taught vocal lessons for over 5 years, and I am extremely well-versed with musical theater as well. I love all genres of music, and I want to make musical performance fun, and strive to give everyone I teach, the ability to love it as much as I do.
I originally started teaching to help out my voice teacher with her overflow of vocal students. I have a lot of experience with teaching, and assisting teachers as well. I have given private lessons for children and adults, from experienced, to beginner. I am experienced in recitals, competitions, and also putting on musical theater productions.
From beginner to advanced, my basic principle is to have fun. I am very patient with my students, and I strive for a trust between student and teacher. For beginner students, I want them to feel comfortable expressing themselves, and learning the simple tools needed to sing a song. As experience comes, I will hone those tools and help my students to strive for excellence in singing and performing. A typical lesson will start with scales to loosen the voice, and help with the vocal muscle memory. Students will pick a song to their liking, and learn to sing and perform this sing in a few lessons, depending upon experience.
Nothing is more rewarding for me than seeing a student develop a passion for performing. I typically design a lesson around a student's experience, and allow a student to progress at their own pace. I am pretty relaxed, but firm when needed. My goal as a teacher is to acknowledge progress, and make students eager to learn more. I try to find out what inspires my students, so I can tailor my teaching to their needs. Above all, I'm fun, and willing to go the extra mile to help my students succeed.
