For my beginner students, who are younger, I start off with the Faber series in the Primer levels. After progressing through the first few levels of the series, I then start to introduce solo repertoire depending on the interests of the student. For my older students, we also go through the Faber Adult Piano Adventures book, where we learn the basics of piano along with some fun pieces. I teach more information outside of the book which is not taught until later to get ahead. Read More

I want to work on whatever my students are interested in! Read More

I also believe that in order for a singer to reach their highest potential they must also learn by watching others practice there craft as well. Therefore, I will be having weekly studio classes to allow all students to gain confidence in performing in front of fellow colleagues while also gaining constructive feedback in a masterclass type setting. This builds a level of confidence and combats against stage fright, which is something almost all young and beginning singers experience. Read More

Boiling down one specific method to generalize my technique of teaching is difficult. Each student is so unique and requires different types of teaching and technique to reach their goals.

Overall, I focus mainly on getting the sound out without strain on the vocal cords and on breathing correctly. Read More
