Since I'm focusing on voice lessons, I work with all students on being aware of their breathing. Having the right breathing patterns (since there are many varieties) is what can give you the edge and really bring out the best voice inside of you. Honestly, I mostly will give students recent pop songs that are good for the voice unless one is a stickler for classical songs, in which I sometimes use the 24 Italian Art Songs and Arias.

I am a classically trained pianist with a special love for sacred music and Rag Time. From my early youth and into college, I studied classical and rag time piano, but I obtained my degree in art. Over the years, I have taught private piano and voice lessons and conducted several choirs and even accompanied choirs. Lately, I play piano performances regularly because it is my passion. For vocal performance, I am classically trained as well, but prefer music theatre belt technique and some pop styles. Read More

My primary goal is to fill the student with the love of guitar and the passion to continue and grow. This is accomplished by continuing to challenge the student while keeping the process as interesting and fun as possible. I encourage the student to choose songs they want to work on rather than my dictating the music. This keeps it fun and interesting, and sometimes presents a challenge for me if their tastes are a little eclectic. Read More

I am a Los Angeles native who's excited to pass on the legacy of music to curious minds! In 2020, I graduated with my Master's Degree from the Boston Conservatory in Music, and this education has left me with a deep understanding of many different aspects of music, including piano and vocal performance, composition, history and dramaturgy, and theory. I believe learning is about developing a fluency in music in general as well as understanding and implementing specific techniques. Read More
