Voice Lessons in Mid Florida, FL

Instruments: Piano Voice

If a student is not encouraged to try other things, most of the time they will not. Music is a way of life; it can form us into who we are, if studied regularly from an early age. If a teacher is able to develop a student's interest in   music from an early stage, the student will find that the spiritual, intellectual, and emotional rewards of such passion for music are endless.

I love for each student to leave their lesson excited about the music they create! I am an encouraging teacher, but I help my students set realistic goals (and stretch goals!) that keep them motivated to progress in their musicianship. How our lessons progress really depends on the student in question. If they would like to pursue competitions, I am well equipped to help. If they choose to develop their skills in a lower stakes environment without any competitions, that's also completely fine. Read More

I am a hard-working, flexible teacher who loves working with students from beginners just figuring out how to match pitch to advanced students preparing for a professional career. I received my Doctorate of Musical Arts from UT Austin in 2013, and spent 2014-2020 teaching full time voice on the university level at Northeastern State University (OK) and then Valdosta State University (GA). I pride myself in my ability to work with any student to help them discover their voices, give them tools to be better musicians and singers, and most of all, guide them on the path of growing to be better people and members of their community.

In teaching piano, I use the book Alfred Adult for my beginning students. Intermediate students will focus on music theory and learning to play from a chord chart if theyre leaning toward a more contemporary style of playing. Read More

I have my own method of teaching which has worked for every student I have had.  For piano, I begin teaching basic music theory and sight reading from the very first lesson. I typically use "Piano Adventures" method books as a baseline, but tailor the lessons to each student's needs.  For voice, I use a mix of karaoke tracks and light piano accompaniment to help the students learn to sing on their own.

Most problems beginning and advanced can be worked on in song prep. Example for advanced singers looking to improve belt range, a shortcut is to improve the soprano/mix range and then go backwards twords the belt. No one believes this works until they do it. For beginners assigning the right material is the key. It needs to be something they choose to sing that is appropriate for their level. Read More
