Introduction: I offer high quality vocal and piano instruction with some fun mixed in. Credentials: I hold a music degree in voice performance from Ithaca College, have 25 + years experience playing the piano, dozens of musical theater roles under my belt, and recorded an EP of original songs. I travel to Boston, MA twice a month to sing as soloist for a church. Along with piano instruction I offer a foundation of music theory and recommended books based on level. I can offer sheet free sheet music from my own personal subscription to 8notes.com. For vocal instruction, I lead a brief physical warm up, then vocal warm ups/breathing exercises, followed by coaching on songs of all genres, touching on articulation, character work and musicality. It's challenging and good fun!
I love encouraging students, and ultimately witnessing their growth. It is gratifying to see their pride blossom alongside their mastery of the instrument. I can always tell when they like what they're hearing, and it makes the hard work well worth it. I infuse humor into the lessons to try and keep it fun.
