My father was a high school choir director and my mother was an elementary school teacher. So from a young age I was taught the value of learning, teaching, and music. Throughout my career as a touring musician, I would routinely give masterclasses at high schools and universities on group singing, performance, the changing voice, and the business of music. I have 17 years of diverse professional performance experience including solo work, small ensemble shows, and full scale symphony productions. Read More

I am a patient and mild-mannered teacher. I take great pride in fostering in students a lifelong enjoyment for music. Self-confidence and self-motivation are my priority for students and I strive to nurture that every single lesson. I continuously praise accomplishments and recognize when students overcome challenges. Students mirror their teachers and when I am patient and kind to students, they are patient and kind to themselves. Learning an instrument is hard work and takes patience and dedication; harshness and hostility only work against a students ability to push themselves and grow. Read More
