Instruments: Piano, Voice

I believe that the foundation of all singing in all genres is solid technique, so I heavily emphasize the essentials of breathing and supporting the air.  We will do this both through vocal exercises and the application of technique to repertoire both chosen by the student and reccomended by myself.  My main goal is for my students to be interested in and excited about what they are doing. Every lesson will begin with a vocal warmup to determine where a student's voice is on a particular day. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

For Guitar I feel that it is best for everyone to start out learning classical and then branch out to other styles. However,  I , as a teacher want to teach everything if I can , while at the same time really focusing on what the students goals are in learning to play and what music gets them excited about playing. So I will use standard guitar teaching materials such as studies from Sor and Giuliani , or Segovia scales , or certain method books by Hal Leonard , Scott Tennant etc...but each student is different and my approach is focused on tailoring everything to each student specifically.

Instruments: Piano

In the Suzuki program, the parent provides the proper home environment so that the child will succeed. Traditional Methodology is most effective with children aged 8-18. Children in this age range are ready to read notation, so this skill is taught from the beginning. The pupil is taught to identify the notes on the staff and keyboard, to recognize rhythmic structures, basic theory concepts such as key signatures, scales, chords, and forms, and the meanings of musical terms and signs.

Instruments: Piano

I began teaching piano part-time in high school and slowly realized it was something that I was truly passionate about. Over the past 10 years, I have been teaching piano to students of all ages and skill levels, and it has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. I believe that music is a form of self-expression, and I strive to help my students develop their own unique style and voice. By encouraging creativity and individuality, I hope to inspire my students to continue exploring and developing their musical abilities long after they leave my studio. Read More
