Specialties
In my Voice Lessons, I focus on breathing, intonation, and control, which provide the foundation for great singing technique. I guide my students in letting go of unnecessary (and often unrecognized) tension in the body, to free the passageway of sound. I emphasize feeling the emotion of each song and translating that emotion through the voice. I teach a wide range of music genres, including Rock, Pop, R&B, Soul, Country, Jazz, Musical Theatre, and Classical. I also teach Performance and Recording technique, as well as Songwriting.
In my Piano Lessons, I tailor the lessons to fit each student's individual desires. Whether you want to learn how to read music, learn chords, or just learn to play and memorize a song you love, I make learning piano fun, while sprinkling in some music theory along the way.
I am a very upbeat person, and I create a positive environment in which my students feel comfortable to open up and stretch themselves to reach their full potential. I believe that hard work and discipline will help you to achieve your goals, but I also recognize the importance of having fun and celebrating the art of creating music! I love working with all ages and all levels.
