During the first few lessons, I should be able to understand what level of playing capability the student is at. After the first lesson, I would introduce an adaptable routine of how to maintain healthy habits for retention, select various works from etude and methods books, and collaborate on choosing a solo that would follow along with their current level of playing. In between the lesson, I would run a series of Stretching, Breathing, Alignment, and working on building the most healthy foundation they need to get through each lesson. Read More

I started teaching at the age of 18. I taught teenagers about music theory, and how to apply it with an instrument that each teenager would be interested in. I made it fun for every teenager.

My teaching style is a little eclectic. I like explaining everything I do because students should know why they're doing certain things. I work with each student to figure out why they're taking voice lessons and figure out accomplishments that they want to achieve.
