Introduction: I have had the privilege to teach voice and piano lessons for over 10 years, working with many wonderful students of all ages. Trained in musical theater and opera, with a Master of Music in Vocal Performance, I have gained the necessary skills to lead students to their potential as young musicians and artists.
[Voice Lessons]
I believe that the singing voice is the most personal of instruments, and must be treated with respect and great care. Every voice is unique and must be treated as such, taking care to understand the person behind the voice in order to develop the voice itself. In voice lessons, I focus first on breathing, music theory and essential singing techniques to give each student a solid foundation in order to excel. As a student moves forward, I focus on diction, tone, sight-singing, posture, expression, and stage presence.
[Combination of Voice and Piano Lessons]
Combined lessons allow for a deeper understanding of music, and more personal expressions. Depending on the student's interests, I craft each lesson to focus on healthy singing, sight reading, piano skills, and playing and singing together.
For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for music and teaching. There are few things I love more than seeing a student find confidence and freedom in his or her musical abilities.
