Instruments: Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Music

I learned from my own private study that enforcing the basics sets up the foundation for a successful musician that always gets called for the gig.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Music, Keyboard

After graduating college, I began adding vocal training to my studio. I have directed numerous choirs over the years and love choral, musical theatre, and jazz music. I encourage healthy consistent practice for piano and/or voice. I also relish the student's input when choosing literature. If a student does not like the music, I have found they will not practice. Students love performing at our End of the year Vocal Recital for their friends and family. Read More

I believe in setting an achievable goal in every lesson. Read More
