Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Recorder Euphonium Tuba Music
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

Instruments: Voice
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was in my first musical production and began playing the piano at five years old. I then started voice lessons around age eight. This was all my mother's doing, as she noticed my interest and love for music at an early age. Because of this, music has always been a huge part of my life, and my decision to study music and become a professional musician simply seemed like the natural path for me to take. I have wanted to be a professional singer for as long as I can remember. Music has been the one passion in my life that I know will never fade.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
In addition to singing, I also enjoy playing the piano and ukulele. My mother put me in piano lessons at five years old. Although this is not my primary instrument, the piano is extremely helpful to vocalists so we can play along with vocal exercises, learn melody or harmony lines with sheet music, or even to accompany ourselves during practice time or show time onstage. I am self-taught on the ukulele and enjoy playing for leisure and creative purposes. As a songwriter, I use both the piano and the ukulele to write my own material as well.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most amazing and difficult thing about being a singer is that our body IS our instrument. I believe that the voice is never truly mastered because our body and our voice is always changing. Being a vocalists requires constant care and attention to assure that we are not being damaging to our vocal chords. This is why it is important to always warm up the voice and practice healthy singing techniques to ensure a long and lasting career. Singers that work to know and understand their voice are those that will be known as masters.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was in second grade, I vividly remember going to my very first concert: Shania Twain. We had amazing seats and I knew every word to every song. It was quite possibly the most exciting and fulfilling experience for me so far, at such a young age. In that moment of watching my idol onstage, I decided that I wanted to make audiences feel the way I felt. I knew then that I wanted to sing and perform and to entertain. In the years since then, my love for singing and performing has only grown stronger and I couldn't imagine my life outside of this industry.
