Voice Lessons in Livermore, CO

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been teaching both beginning piano and voice lessons since 2010, and have found so much fulfillment in teaching students of all ages and backgrounds. I believe it is so important to customize each student's lesson experience based on their individual needs, strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to make these lessons feel rewarding and fun for you, so we will discuss together what it is that you're seeking from your lesson experience regarding musical styles, skills and your overall personal goals.

Instruments: Voice Fiddle Music

The student's goals are my goals! Music changed the course of my life, and that was because I had teachers who guided me in the direction that I wanted to go- that's why what the student is hoping for is always my first priority. Everyone is encouraged to go and learn at their own pace; we'll discuss weekly goals each lesson, and larger goals about once every few months, to make sure that the student is achieving what they want.

Instruments: Voice Clarinet

I started private tutoring for Clarinet dating back to high school and have continued to do so. I have been giving private voice lessons for the past 5 years. I encourage regular practice and lesson schedule. I have found that the more a student puts into their learning the more dedicated and passionate they will be for the art. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I make sure to first introduce my students musical fundamentals, then progress to repertoire that is appropriate for the students' age and skill level. I scaffold learning concepts and sequence them so that students can confidently progress from one level to another. Music theory is woven into my teaching methods, strengthening students' understanding of their instrument. For piano, I like to teach from the Faber Piano Adventures books. For voice, I implement vocal exercises that can be easily replicated and practiced. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice

I would describe my methodology as strength-based but rooted in patience and enjoyment. As each student brings with them characteristics that are physical, mental as well as emotional, learning these characteristics allows me insights which form the creative process. For example, I had a student years ago that had a finger anomaly (he had been bit on the finger by his wife's cat so we called it "cat scratch finger") and this prevented him from laying his ring finger flat on his fretting hand.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Organ

Making goals that are challenging, but realistic is the best way to grow! I want to help students wrap their heads around how the musical world works and their instruments, and I want to do it effectively and efficiently. Building good practice techniques is a must. Once we have an understanding that the fun comes with hard work and patient progress, the longing for an "over-night mastery" won't be as strong. Read More
