Where I Teach:
Ages Taught: 6-80
Bachelor Degree: University of Louisiana at Lafayette
I’m an elementary music teacher based in New York City! I moved to New York just over 8 months ago from Louisiana. I have loved getting to experience the creativity and art scene in the city, and am excited to further my teaching experience here. Before moving, I taught voice lessons for 6 years! I have taught all ages, from 3 to 90 (and am willing to expand!) My goal is to help people to understand their voices, and to just have fun. Music is so much more than something to use to perform, it can help us in so many different ways.
I have been teaching since before I even went to college. My teaching experience, professionally, began in 2018. In 2019, I began college at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for vocal music. After that, I went on to teach more voice lessons, and added on piano, ukulele, guitar, and even theatre. Currently, I am an elementary music teacher in the Bronx and East Harlem. Outside of teaching, I love to perform. I have performed in over 30 musicals, and was most recently seen as “Martha” in the 4th Wall’s production of Heathers.
I will always cater to my students wants, within reason of course. If there is something my student may want to sing or play, I will always find a way to accommodate and allow my students to express themselves through their want. For voice lessons, a lot of the technique I teach comes through vocal warm ups, which is something we will do every lesson. The best part of voice lessons is that we just get to be silly and have fun! No matter the age, sometimes making fun noises, jumping around, or doing something that seems weird is the best way to learn.
I’m a very go with the flow type of teacher. I will always cater to my students needs, so if that means sticking with one song for a year, that’s what we will do. What I don’t want to happen is for music to become a chore, so if we find that something isn’t working, I have no problem switching it up. Any progress we make in lessons is good progress, and I will make sure to acknowledge that. I won’t ever lie to you, but I am someone who will get very excited when we accomplish a goal. By figuring out a students’ likes, I believe we can successfully accomplish our lesson goals.
