My teaching experience encompasses five years of teaching private lessons to people of all ages, backgrounds, and voice types.

Therefore, I use all the resources I've gained from performing, teaching and my education to provide students with the support and guidance to follow their dreams. Read More

For all students I access what your musical background is and what may be lacking from your knowledge and playing. I also ask what your particular goals and things you would like to learn are. From there then we will start to tailor the lesson as both us see fit. In general I like a student to be able to play three simple melodies before moving on to chords, rhythms, and music theory.
