I am not your everyday teacher lessons with me are different every time however I want to make sure that you are having a great time at your lesson. Everyday I want to make sure that you are having fun and never lose your passion for music. I love all kinds of music no matter what it is I want to make sure that you have fun and you are always welcome to ask questions. I love music not only for the reason that it is fun but also that it builds character for anyone of any age. My time as a musical professional and a music teacher has really taught me how to be a greater person myself not only on how to be more patient also had to create better plans, create better outcomes, a crate better goals that anyone can reach. I understand that music can be hard but it's not just hard it can also be fun. Everyday I catch myself singing, everyday I catch myself playing the piano to a random song. That's because of my joy of music it's because I love it so much. So take your time to learn as much as you possibly can but never make it to where it's not fun anymore. I want to make goals with everyone even those who are not my students.
I have held four master classes for five different high schools in the past. I have been judging piano and voice for 2 years now and enjoy every moment of getting the work with people. I have also choreographed show choirs for the last three years of my professional life. I look forward to working with anyone and everyone. I have sang for many audiences however I have come to the conclusion that I can no longer do that since I am getting a lot older. The older you get the harder it is to have a concert or something you want to do. I do now host private events for people who want to hear me sing, I have also decided to take part in the showcase for my college.
For beginning students I love to take the chance to get to know them and their musical preferences. My teaching methods are a lot different from standardized teaching methods that being that I want you to sing songs that you want to sing. For more advanced students I want to give you the benefit of the doubt and let you also pick your music however I do work you a little harder in order to get your voice or instrument to the place it needs to be or the goal you've set for yourself and you want it to be. With any kind of student I will always set goals and make sure that those goals are achieved by the end of the time you set for yourself. A lot of the time I take great care of your plan and my plan. I want to make sure that you are not only learning but also making sure that you aren't getting burnt out the way I do that is by guiding you into having fun not just telling you have fun or telling you to do something. I want to slowly guide you and I want you to hear what it sounds like personally rather than never hearing yourself. The key to a great musician is that they hear themselves and make changes based on what they hear not by what I hear. I could sit here all day and tell you to do something else but at the end of the day you're going to listen to yourself before you listen to me.
My teaching style is obviously very different from a lot of other people. I like to set clear goals with my students rather than setting goals by myself to give to my students. Something rewarding that I give for my students is that I always want to create some sort of project for them to see how much they've grown. I teach by learning with you. Every person is different in every voice or instrument is different as well. Just cuz you sound the same as someone else doesn't mean you are the same you have your own style your own way of doing something. So my goal is to embrace that and let you Embrace that as well.
