I was born with an "educator" mindset, and began teaching early on in my personal music studies. I began teaching about 10 years ago, in 2010, after getting into my undergraduate studies for music performance. I have taught all levels and in many different settings: To-date I have taught ages 6 through 65. I have taught in formal school system classrooms, private music studios, community centers and at a student's home. Everyone has a unique gift in music and I focus on honing this gift and letting it shine through. I build on a solid foundation that allows each student to have the necessary tools to hone their craft, from technique, musicianship, theory and performance skills - and this also allows the student to practice effectively and efficiently outside of our lesson time. I set high yet attainable expectations for my students, with a patience and understanding of the entire learning process.

For beginning students, I typically start with the foundational elements, focusing primarily on technique and simple application into song. I slowly introduce repertoire that is appropriate and can highlight their strengths. For more advanced singers, I continue to build upon the foundational elements and guide my instructions based upon the student's interest and goals. I am building custom lesson plans and materials suitable for the student, so the plans will be unique for the individual. No matter what level, I keep the lessons engaging, fun and with purpose!
