Since lessons are tailored to the individual student's goals, it's going to be a little more laid back. Success is measured differently for each student.

To get the best out of music one must bring the best out of the student, fostering a love of the art through passion, patience, and encouragement.

My teaching journey began in 2014, when I started offering private online lessons. Over the years, I have had the privilege of guiding students of all ages in singing, music theory, and choral conducting, always with the goal of helping them discover their own voice and love for music. I strongly believe that technology is a powerful tool for learning, and I make full use of it to provide students with engaging resources such as manuals, infographics, practice exercises, progress evaluations, recordings, and study materials.
