I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In May 2018 I graduated from Augusta University and Georgia State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in vocal performance. Performing all over the world in various operas has been one of my Greater Life Experiences as a musician I've recently just performed in Shanghai, China and Beijing, China as well as Italy, Austria, and Germany. I've also had the opportunity to be a semi-finalist for the National Association of teachers singing, as well as participating in a world peace movement located in Croatia.
My teaching experience dates back to my high school days however not in music but traditional indian dance and Indian classical singing. However I have been giving piano lessons and american pop, musical theater, and opera lessons since 3 years ago. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy their voice and piano motivating them to practice and continue to learn. I'm always looking to bring on new students of all ages. If a student isn't having any fun or learning in their lessons then I'm not doing my job!
For the beginning students who are children or adult beginners I typically start with the basic fundamentals. Once the student has progressed or has a grasp of the fundamentals I begin to introduce solo repertoire that is appropriate for their first performance in front of their friends and family or a recital which they would like to perform in. I also try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun no matter their ability level. I usually have my own set of curriculum for each student that is unique to their own abilities.
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing each student progress and have a passion for music. It's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by settling realistic goals for my students at each lesson. I'm a perfectionist at heart so naturally I want my students to do as well as they can. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress making them wanting to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student I can successfully heed to their wants and needs. My teaching style is somewhat based on a step-by-step. I do not like to do random bursts of trial by error methods. I do have my own curriculum that I set, and occasionally if I feel that a certain method isn't working I'll bring in a different method. In the end, it's all up to what the student wants and how we can make his or her wants a benefit to their learning process.
