My teaching experience dates back to college, as I was the Vice President of the collegiate choir, and small group leader for international tours.  After that point, I had the privilege of working at the elementary, high school, and collegiate levels teaching voice, piano and acting.  I have over ten years of experience as an orchestal conductor and music director for Azusa Pacific University, Cal Baptist University and Life Pacific College.  I am a member of EMC, and am privileged to have performed at The Colony, SCLO, Candlelight Pavilion, Disneyland, and many other regional theatrical locations.  I encourage a consistent rehearsal schedule, utilization of multiple musical styles, technique, performance accountability and creativity!

For piano lessons I generally prefer to use the Alfred curriculum, but am well versed in other options should the student already be accustomed to certain styles.  I have assisted students with their Certificate of Merit completion, and worked several students through the entire Alfred curriculum, till they went on to achieve collegiate scholarship opportunities.  As a voice teacher, I employ a Bel Canto technique, and specialize in a Musical Theater Style and Classical Background.  Vocal health and proper technique are essential to my teaching methods, and of course, having fun!
