I like to emphasize having fun while practicing with my students. I never want them to feel practicing is a chore. Read More

I am honest with a student about their body, I think the best way to sing is to know how all the pieces of your instrument work together to create healthy sound.

For beginning students, I typically start with the foundational elements, focusing primarily on technique and simple application into song.

Since my teaching philosophy is that every piano lesson should be fun, I tailor each lesson according to the student's age and interests.
