I began teaching private music lessons in 2017 during college. I have continued this for the last two years. I love to teach my students not only how to play/sing music, but also how to perform! My goal is to always prepare students for performance, and to also give them chances to perform. To do this, we hold bi-yearly or yearly recitals. We have even recorded a studio album in the past!

I use generally use Faber and Faber for piano and the Yamaha method for guitar.

I encourage my voice students to learn a varied repertoire of classical, folk songs, Broadway and pop if they desire. Read More
