My desire to engage, challenge, and inspire growth in my students is not limited to the classroom. Over the time that I was at the University of Minnesota, I worked with over a dozen undergraduates and Graduate singers as an instructor. My desire to collaborate with students translates into the professional domain. It is my goal to share with students the awe and excitement, as well as the dedication and hard work, that comes along with using opera and vocal pedagogy tools to ask and answer questions.

I have been teaching piano for almost 20 years now in styles from classical to new age to pop and rock.

My experience has been primarily in choral music, working with students in the concert choir, show choir, musical theater, solo and small ensemble, one act and full length play genres. My students learned to be successful performers through dedication and discipline.

I know what it is like to have a teacher who doesn't care about their student. That will never be the case for me! Read More

I love seeing my students grow, and Im not afraid to show it! I find it easy to notice how my students are improving, even in small ways. Even when my students voice is squeaking and cracking, its something to celebrate! My enthusiasm comes naturally, which I hope inspires my students to nurture a growth mindset. My students perception of their singing experience is highly important to me and regularly ask them to communicate their experience. Read More
