I have been teaching for over ten years. I started out with just a handful of students, and have since grown to have a student base of over forty students. I have taught all ages and all levels. I have seen many beginning students become advanced students over a period of years. I work with several families and have enjoyed the experience of seeing younger siblings of students become my students as well. Read More

I encourage progress over awards. It is vital that the singer be able to rely on their fundamental and progress at their own pace to be able to build healthy habits that will last for a lifetime of singing. I try to understand the goals and desires for all students to be able to help them reach that goal in a healthy progression. I am very challenging but singing if supposed to always be fun as well or there is no use in doing it every day. Read More

Since I teach people of all ages, I have learned that I cannot simply follow one type of lesson structure.  During my lessons I learn about not just the talent a person has but also about the person themselves.  Therefore, each lesson plan is tailored specific to that individual. The individual helps us to find the appropriate balance in our teaching method. When that balance has been obtained, only then can the student reach their fullest potential. Read More

I never imagined life would hold so many surprises for me. Fifteen years ago if someone asked me what my life's dream was, I would have said I wanted to be a professional musician. However, as I grew as a musician and a person, I realized I wanted to give back much more than only a musical performance. I wanted to be a positive part of peoples' lives. During my years as an EFL instructor, I realized the joy one could experience in watching others grow and succeed. Read More

I generally do not teach directly from a book. I only use them as guides. I always felt that was the lazy way of doing things. A book doesn't know the student. I find that students of any age, learn and adapt to teaching in different ways and speeds. I start from the very bottom and we build every lesson, using previous lessons as building blocks. I take pride in teaching the way that works best for you or your child. Read More

I am the students greatest motivator. I love to bring out the best in all of my students and help them discover things about their musical capacities that they never have before. I am highly enthusiastic and believe that every one learns at their own pace. Its never about how quickly you learn something, but about how well you learn it, even if it takes time. I like to acknowledge the students progress and their accomplishments because I believe it helps the student to have the desire to keep learning and progressing. Read More

I have several methods, but mostly I teach to sing based on solfeage and songs, either italian, german, latin, spanish, and french. Solfeage helps the student to understand better sheet music and also helps understand the real emotion of the piece, among other things involved in a piece. For guitar I use Hal Leonard guitar method. I think that it is important to learn music and how to read it with your instrument. Read More
