Nothing is more rewarding then seeing my student progress and overcome the difficulties of starting to play an instrument. Furthermore, it is very important that each one of my students progresses at their own pace. That being said, I encourage progression by setting realistic goals depending on the student's level. In addition, I create the students curriculum based on the styles of music students prefer as to keep their interest while giving them useful knowledge and techniques for any situation involving playing, improvising, or musical comprehension.

Vocal coaching as a profession is quite new to me because until just recently I've always focused on my own development as a performer and artist, however, I've often assisted my fellow co-artists, classmates, bandmates, and even friends with improving vocal technique and performance quality. In my college classes, we were encouraged to provide feedback about a classmates performance and I absolutely loved when they would apply my advice and everyone saw a significant improvement in performances thereafter.

Instruments: Voice
My lessons typically start with stretching and breathing exercises and then transition to vocal exercises. The vocal exercises serve to strengthen their technique and solidify skills needed to tackle their song. I always ask my students what kind of music they are interested in and find songs to work on that will help strengthen their voice, but also connect with their soul. We will "workshop" their song to work on vocal production as well as fine tune their presentation and performance. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I'm all about encouragement and accountability. I tailor each lesson to the student, based on their goals and what they need to succeed. My students want to work hard because I work hard for them. Music is not a chore, it's a passion, and that is an important distinction that is very clear in my method. The basis of my teaching style for all students is vocal health and artistic exploration.

My teaching style consists of compassion, patience and developing discipline for ones instrument little by little. Nothing is pushed, but my philosophy is "bit by bit." I want the student to be able to be challenged at the same time having fun and enjoying their instrument. I do have my own feel for each student which is completely different and varies to their ability, personality and behavior, but I am constantly tuned into my students to and what their needs and likes are.

Instruments: Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For someone with no experience on guitar I'll typically begin with scales, and familiarizing with the guitar. For bass; exactly the same as guitar to start, drums would start with with your basic 2,4 beat, and familiarization with parts (snare, hi hat, etc). Vocalist I would always start with a warm up, basics, and note reciting. For keyboard beginners I would show them their A,B,C's as far as how to access those, and we'd start messing with different shapes, and songs almost right away. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Keyboard
I am a passionate and motivated musician and music teacher and I absolutely adore sharing my love of music with my students! I graduated from Point Park University with my BA in Musical Theatre in 2017, and joined the national tour of "Peter & Wendy" with Missoula Children's Theatre for a few months before returning to my hometown in California to teach. I recently made the leap to New York City and have the opportunity to teach here, a job that I am so privileged to have! Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Since I believe that building a relationship with my students is fundamental to my effectiveness with them, typically, I'll ask the student how they are doing, how their past week has been for them. if they have a crisis, I give them time to vent and decompress--if all is well, we'll do a brief social catch-up, we smile and get into the lesson...
Structurally, my protocol after that initial socializing is:
1-- I ask if everything we discussed/practiced last week made sense...
2--If not we review the questioned items...
3--I ask "What did you take home from last lesson"
4--They demonstrate --and I assess their progress...
5-I themn move into my lesson plan, couching it in terms of whta was touched on lasrt week....
6--We close the lesson with an assignment of how to take the skill/technique of today's lesson into actual practice at home, This typically involve me demonstrating on via a phone video camera...
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My Msaters in related to the field of Education
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have the grace every weekend of being a choir director who helps choristers enjoy the delight of singing their hearts out while we as a group help feed the hearts and souls of the folks who come to the table...
I have published scores of songs that have become staples of weekly Sunday services...
I have over my teaching career helped hundreds of students express their joy in song and in their instruments...
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Indeed, having taught for 30 years+, I have proudly watched many of my students become professional musicians and teachers themselves...Such is a joy indeed to see student live their passion....
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
As with any instrument, with the guitar and the voice, it is not about simple "getting eh right note.." That's eh easy part--IT's COMMUNICATING the intent and power of that note and the passage that is the true purpose of this and any art....
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Through my education I have been exposed to all of these approaches, and they each in their way have influenced my rather eclectic pedagogical philosophy.
My first task with a student is to carefully assess where thy are, how thy learn, and what they want to learn----From there, I draw from each of thse methodologies the techniques and approaches that best meet each student's particular needs.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I've always been a singer, so choosing an instrument that would allow me to also sing was definitely a more logical choice that tuba...
My parents were not wealthy, so a $100 guitar was more realistic than a $5,000,piano, so, guitar it was!
