Introduction: I have 35 years of experience in teaching private piano lessons and 18 years of experience teaching group and private voice lessons.
I am university-trained in both piano and voice.
In piano, I teach theory along with all the major and minor scales, chords, and arpeggios from beginners to advanced students.
I enjoy teaching all levels and I have a fun approach to teaching beginners of all ages.
I use Faber, Alfred and Bastien lesson books, plus levels 1 through 10 classical books.
I also teach technique out of Dozen A Day.
Voice lessons include an emphasis on proper breathing (very important), posture and relaxation, many vocalizes (vocal exercises), technique books, diction, and many enjoyable songs to sing and practice.
I am positive and patient, with one of my main goals being, to help instill a great love of music in all of my students.
I expect students to practice a minimum of five days per week.
Lessons are $15.00 per 30-minute lesson and $22.50 per 45-minute lesson (for more advanced students), one lesson each week.
I live between Franklin and Overland in Boise close to the Meridian boundary.
