Music Lessons South

Instruments: Voice, Music

My teaching experience started around 5 years ago, as I began teaching private and group lessons in the New York City public school system. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for students, as it tends to help the student strengthen their gifts and deepen their passion for singing. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern training can diversify a student's music education, cultivating a spirit of exploration and curiosity to learn about other genres and techniques.

I will start new students, especially young students, with folk songs, games and exercises to train the ear, sense of rhythm, and acting muscles, prepare them to be able to read and understand musical notation, and encouragement to perform in a solo capacity when possible.

I began assisting teachers during high school for extra credit. It later became my job during Full Sail. I worked extensively with grades K-5 on reading, writing and math skills enrichment. When I graduated I started to see my joy was working with children and helping each individual get to their own "next level" and that is when I began teaching music privately. I encourage my students to enter competitions and recitals of which I help with the prep for and can conduct them there if need be.  Read More
