Once an adequate amount of fundamental material has been grasped, I like to have the student select songs or pieces that they already know of and learn to play simple translations of them that I will prepare. For intermediate students: heavy rigor with more complicated exercise in the form of etudes (piano), vocal runs (voice), and picking exercises (bass/guitar) is encouraged, with an introduction to more complicated music theory and harmony.

Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching style is free flowing and depends on the specific student. Everybody's experience with music is different and not everybody will pick things up as quickly as others so you must meet them where they are. Music is nerve-racking at first because expressing ourselves isn't something that is always encouraged so I look for something they are interested in to start off. From there, we build on musicality and find their original response to music. Read More
Instruments: Voice
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students get really excited about reaching their goals. I consistently encourage students by giving them positive feedback about the progress they are making. I also help them push themselves to become better singers by being an inspiration and a mentor for them throughout their journey. I do feel that music is a journey, not a destination. I inspire my students to develop an appreciation for music that lasts their entire lives, and so my instruction is tailored to the individual no matter where they are on their journey. Read More

I love music. I still find joy and challenges every time I play. I began studying at a very young age and alot of things are imbedded in my soul. Listening is the most important gift we can give ourselves. Whether in music or in life we can all teach ourselves the gift of listening. I think experiencing the thing we call music is beyond theory. My time in school was nothing next to the thousands of gigs I have accumulated in my 45 years doing music. Read More
Instruments: Voice
While at the University of Denver, I greatly enjoyed teaching non-major voice lessons through the University. Teaching for two years at the university level gave me a chance to develop a curriculum and method which is adaptable to students of all experience levels. I want each student to be able to perform in public successfully, and I have found that having regular group recitals helps students to become a rounded performer. Read More

I adapt my methods to each student accordingly. Every person is unique and has a different taste in music. However I am strict in making sure that all my students understand the fundamentals of music. Ear Training, music theory, ability to read notation and tabs, understanding chords and voicing, how to count rhythms. I have a set list of songs I teach most of my students, as they help to develop technique and are usually well received by most students. Read More

I am a very enthusiastic and passionate instructor! I am a composer, song-writer, pianist, and guitarist. I have been writing, performing and producing music for well over a decade in addition to teaching. I am also an experienced singer, though I have had minimal formal training in this. I have been singing songs and fiddling on instruments for as long as I can remember. It wasn't until my adult life that I finally pursued a thorough education. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Focus is crucial to an effective practice, and different people have different needs to create a focused environment. I like to be in a closed room alone with all of the sheet music I'll need and some water, so that that I shouldn't need to leave the room and break my focus. I also encourage a back and forth dialogue with oneself, keeping it progress-oriented. After singing or playing a passage, I stop and ask myself how it went - what was good and what could have been better? If you come across sections that you just can't nail, bring them to your next lesson!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
For a while I was pretty torn - the viola was the first instrument I was absolutely crazy about, but in the end I chose to specialize in voice and still consider it my primary instrument. I took piano lessons and learned to play the viola, but I have always been a singer - at church, in school, in the shower. It wasn't until I was in a college choir that I heard women use their free, powerful, operatic voices. I needed to explore that vocal style for myself, and I fell in love with the mastery of classical singing. Good classical technique gives a singer the tools they need to sing just about any genre.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I hold a bachelor's degree in vocal performance, but I started at the University of Minnesota intent on studying music education. I knew I wanted music to be my profession, and the implementation of that has been ever-changing. I realized that one of my favorite things about music was performing for others, and I love the glamour of the theatre. Opera was a natural choice and after even my first classical voice lesson, I was hooked. Vocal study has been an especially incredible way to learn music because it's so personal - your instrument is your body.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Music is an addiction! I started with piano lessons in grade school, and I remember the announcement in middle school that we could sign up for band, choir, or orchestra. I didn't even think of my voice as an instrument at the time, but I signed up for choir AND orchestra. When I little sister signed up for guitar and later cello lessons, I couldn't keep my hands off of her instruments - the same thing happened when my little brother started playing violin, and I got my own electric guitar to work out some teenage angst. Since completion of my degree in vocal performance, I've been learning cajon, djembe, bass guitar, and mandolin. I love that the same melody or rhythm can sound so different from instrument to instrument, and I like fusing the sounds to craft unique soundscapes.
