Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I truly believe in giving my students the freedom to select the songs and/or genres they like and that's because I believe passion is an integral aspect of learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I really don't follow a specific book or tool. As I wrote before, every person is different and I always try to empathize with my students. With the Internet, the tools are almost infinite. I focus on breathing and comfort singing. I use different warming up exercises for every person, depending on their needs. I am always excited when one of my student make progress, wheter is big or small. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet French Horn Music
My methods 100% depend on where the student is and where he/she/they want to go. I have the most experience teaching young students (about 7 years old) who have had no experience or instruction in music. In such a case, I start with the fundamentals of music (how to read music), theory, and keyboard skills. Compositional exercises and etude drills (i.e. Hannon) help to reinforce the new ideas and build basic skills. Read More

Since I am also a composer and arranger, I tend to be partial towards the use of my own "homemade" methods.... taking on the idea of composers like Mozart, Beethoven and Schumann (example would be Album of the Young) and writing simple pieces that reinforce specific technical challenges like double thirds, left hand arpeggios, consecutive octaves, pedalling and so on. Sometimes if I have a student that likes Pink Floyd or Eric Clapton, for instance, I will do my best to come up with a simplified version of a particular song using good ole staff paper. Read More

All music teachers dream that their students will be players for life, and may even find a lucrative career in music. Unfortunately, the statistics say that most students put their instrument away after graduating high school and never find the time to pick it back up. For this reason, the only permanent thing we absolutely can pass on to our students is the love of music and the art of being a good listener. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I began teaching voice over 5 years ago and have maintained a studio of singers varying in vocal style, age, and skill level. Each one has brought new challenges to me as a teacher and helped me home in on my teaching style and methods. If my students don't feel encouraged, practice on their own, or aren't having fun in lessons then I am not doing my job correctly! I love when students find songs they are passionate about singing and working on them together to make them the best possible product to present. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Private voice lessons requires a lot of focus, preparation and commitment. If you don't feel like your child is able to commit to consistent practice each week in between their lesson, but they are interested in music and want to learn more, my suggestion is to find a group music class, such as a community choir or musical theatre program where your student can learn in a fun environment amongst other individuals their age and with the same interests! It's important that children gain an appreciation for music and gain positive, fun, and freeing feelings around music learning. Because of the responsibility that comes with one- on- one lessons, putting a child in lessons before they're ready for that commitment can risk leading to negative thoughts and feelings with music learning.
When will I start to see results?
Immediately. And if you practice as suggested and stay consistent with your lessons and preparation, you will see permanent results within 2- 4 weeks.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had several teachers who inspired me to go into music simply because they believed in me. I still have teachers currently that continue to inspire me to stay in music, as it can be a difficult career path full of rejection and discouragement. It's important to find the teachers and mentors who believe in you and want to work with you to make you better. On the flipside, it's also important to keep your distance and brush off the comments you receive from those who do not believe in you. There is a place for everyone in music- you just have to find the people who believe in you and enjoy your art.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As cheesy and cliché as it sounds, singing chose me. It's a calling and a gift and ever since I was a little girl, I never wanted to do anything else.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I am endlessly proud of my students, whether they are choosing to pursue voice professionally, or just trying to improve their voice for the next karaoke outing! I always push my students to have at least one goal in mind in order to increase motivation. Some accomplishments of my students include continuing on to pursue a Masters degree in music, singing lead roles in professional, community and school performances, being accepted into prestigious summer vocal programs, and placing in NATS chapter auditions.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Carve out a set time in your schedule each day dedicated to practice. Even if you don't have an entire hour at one time, carve out 20 or 30 minute intervals throughout the day. Record your practice sessions and watch them back at the end. Make note of what you think went really well, and then what didn't go so well. Take that information into your next practice session so you can improve on the things that didn't go well.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Actually, as a musician, I have the luxury of pursuing many different avenues in my career. In addition to performing and singing, I also work as a Content Creator and Social Media and Marketing Manager. My personality type requires diversity in my career, so no matter what, I would be dabbling in several different things that allow me to be creative.
