The way I approach music is motivating the student to care about their practicing and to enjoy it. Moreso, to enjoy playing and performing the trumpet in a healthy way!

My focus is on the individual student- I evaluate the needs and goals of my students and taylor my lessons to achieve those goals. Vocally, being a professional singer, I have a firm foundation in vocal pedagogy, so I can sing vocal jazz and rock music, as well as show tunes and operatic arias without hurting my voice. MyBoth my instrumental and vocal students have fun, but work hard and learn lots! Read More
