The way I teach is the way I was taught, using methods that were in place when I was a kid, some of these techniques date back to the 1800's.

I incorporate elementary theory into the scales by including chord cadence patterns and inversions so as to make the technical transition from method books to playing actual classical pieces and songs as smoothly and as quickly as possible.

I began teaching voice lessons at New Windsor Music Academy in March of this year. While I teach different ages, I like to use the same technique for all. Each singer has different elements with their voice, yet can be trained with the same technique at the start. Once they are used to the new technique, I can help them with parts of their voice that are not as developed as other parts. Read More

While attending college, I was gathered to coach some of the other musical theatre students in music theory and in musical theatre performance. Read More
