I began teaching in highschool and continued to teach during my gap and college years where I maintained a thriving studio of over twenty private students while also a full time student. With over 3,000 documented hours of voice and piano lessons, my teaching is informed by evidence based research, bel canto, and garcia methodology. Having taken lessons with over dozens of the most prestigious voice teachers and coaches in North America, I bring new ideas and methods to every lesson. I always tailor each lesson to a specific student's personality, needs, and goals. Beyond this, I try to create dialogue that encourages student's to become so adept that they can actually teach themselves. While I've taught all ages, I currently am only accepting highschool and online students for online instruction. I've found for these age groups that an online format is incredibly accessible and more than comprible to in-person lessons.

For beginning piano students I use a combination of Piano Adventures curriculum and Suzuki piano method. I like using Piano Adventures because it is a seamless and easy way to learn how to sightread. Suzuki is used to enhance performance skills and learn traditional repertoire. I supplement with other sheet music on the side and teach scales and technical work additionally. For beginning voice students the majority of initial lessons are spent on technique and students are encouraged to apply it in whatever repertoire they enjoy with occasional assigned peices.
