My teaching experience began at a young age. I started volunteering lessons for the youth in my church. I played keyboard on the worship team for several years and some youth students showed interest so I would teach them every now and then. In 2017, I started teaching private lessons at a studio in Fort Worth. I really started to enjoy it, and as I kept on teaching for years to come (going on 6 years now), I've just fallen in love with it! Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I love to see my students develop a passion for music, but moreover to develop the great self confidence that comes from beginning to play an instrument and sing. Lessons should be enjoyable and also focus some attention to the things that will help the student achieve all that they are wanting to accomplish in the long term. Read More

In order to succeed at the keyboard, a student's technique must be ahead of their literature. This is why I use a well-developed system of technical exercises that are easy to understand and implement that allows the student to quickly gain mastery of the instrument. These techniques were thoroughly developed and taught by my mentor, Dr. Jill Sprenger, and I have seen students of all types succeed with them. I also use a self-paced program of theory skills and ear-training exercises that complement the wide variety of literature that excites each student. Read More

I take pride in helping my students achieve tangible progress and witnessing their confidence and skill flourish over time. In addition to teaching, my experience as a performer enriches my ability to mentor aspiring singers. I have graced the stage in numerous operatic productions and concerts, honing my skills and deepening my understanding of the performer's craft. This firsthand experience allows me to offer valuable insights into stage presence, character development, and effective communication through voice. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

For beginning piano students I typically start with Faber's piano adventure series--I typically have students work through the lesson, performance, and theory books while providing them with additional repertoire on the side (pop, disney, classical pieces etc.) For voice students, I typically spend about a third of the lesson working on technique--proper breathing, posture, extending range, working on tone quality etc. Then the rest of the lesson is spent working on solo song repertoire.

I usually start with breathing exercises and vocalises for all students. I also use the exercise books Concone and Sieber. After the student has grasped the breathing and the coordination of the vocalises we move on to repertoire that is age appropriate. I encourage my students to sing in Italian as this helps them to acquire a proper technique because Italian uses pure vowels. I have studied with some great teachers and feel like I need to pass on those methods to the next generation of musicians. Read More

After that, we start working on the songs you want to perform. If you have recording that you learn from we can work with those. If you bring sheet music, its even better. If you don't have any songs in mind, I have a large library of music to chose from across many different styles. I have written my own book on music fundamentals for adults, and create custom materials for my students depending on their needs. Read More
