For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonards Essential Elements book, as well a basic understanding of music. Once the student has progressed to have a nice grasp of the fundamentals of music, I usually begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. I also believe in the importance of listening to as many professional recordings as possible of the instrument the student is taking lessons on. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I know I'm doing my job when my student is growing not only in their abilities, but in their love of music! Ensuring that each student is learning repertoire that they enjoy at a pace that suits them is central to my teaching style. I love to find each student's strengths and celebrate them, as well as targeting goals for improvement in a warm, safe setting. I believe that music is meant to bring joy and healing to people, whether you are listening to it or making it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele
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. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon
I am very familiar with all of the standard piano methods, and will evaluate the student in the first few lessons to choose a method that they will be the most comfortable with. I supplement all lessons with music theory and outside repertoire, allowing the students to choose from their favorite genres/artists. For theatre, musical theatre, and vocal coaching, I also employ Linklater and Alexander techniques. I also really enjoy exposing students to styles, genres or artists that they might not be familiar with along with the history behind the music they're learning! Read More

Music should be fun. Plain and simple thats why I believe and that is whats kept me pushing forward. Its not going to always be an easy experience learning new things but that does not mean it cannot be fun. I want my students to feel like they are more than enough to play this song or sing that song. I want my students to believe in themselves as much as I believe in them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I teach students to learn exercises that will ecourage them to focus on correct posture, breathing techniques, andvocal development. Students must bring a notebook to keep track of their assignments for each lesson. Studentscan learn to perform in front ofothers, develop self confidence and have fun at the same time. Read More

I've been teaching for several years since I got out of College and it's been a rewarding experience. I love witnessing my students make progress and evolve. I love to feel and share their passion for music. I do like to have a program to ensure constant progress but I do not mind at all adapting, changing, or not following at all the program depending on the student's demands and goals. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always take 3-5 min to warm up your voice. Don't stress yourself out by feeling the need to do a TON of warmups (especially, if you don't have the time), but do something. Don't overwhelm yourself with running a song 10 times over, but rather work on sections of the song so it's more consumable. If you spend all of your practice time working on a phrase or a vocal run or even a tricky interval - that's "positive practice time". It does you no good to just simply "run though" your song if you aren't stopping at the trouble spots to work on them and build "positive muscle memory/strength".
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Simply put - if they have the desire to do so. That might sound "surface" to say, but it's true. There's no sense in pushing anyone to take a lesson if they don't have the desire to do so. If they're under 6, I would recommend a small school choir or jamboree (group) music class to assess their focus and interest in singing. (Sometimes they just like to make sound with other kids, which is great - but private lessons may not be for them at that time). If they're older and show an interest, I always say to try it out for a month or two and then re-assess. If they're practicing and still intrigued by the lessons, then continue. If not, sometimes taking a break to see if they miss it or not will give you a good idea.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone is SO different, so keep that in mind. If the student is actively practicing during the times in between lessons, then you typically see some improvement in months 2-3 (but, again, that's also depending on the person). If the student is more advanced, you might see an improvement within one lesson just purely based on a shift in technique. The important thing to remember is that the improvements might be as small as singing a little louder or hitting a higher/lower note than before but that's still growth we celebrate.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have been blessed with a variety of wonderful vocal instructors over the years. When I started seriously studying music in college, I had a professor (who I’m still friends with to this day) that came along side me to guide and encourage me to success. I was not fortunate enough to have the same musical education (growing up) as my peers did. However, she saw my determination and said to me, "you have a very small window to still succeed in this career. If you really want this and are willing to work extra hard to catch up, I will help you". Because of her, I was able to graduate with a music degree and continue on to be the performer/teacher I am today.
The other teacher I was fortunate to be inspired by was someone I studied with from Nashville during the pandemic. She saw my desire for singing and was able to help me work through my on personal challenges in a NEW way. Through this I was able to get rid of my muscle tension and mental blocks that were preventing me from breaking through my "ceiling". Because she took the time to walk me through what were MY individual challenges, I was able to reach new heights and feel encouraged to keep going!
