What to expect in my Vocal Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

In vocal lessons with me, students can expect to be encouraged and supported as they find their own authentic voice. I have experience working with students of all levels, and provide the patience and guidance needed to develop confidence and control of the voice.


What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

In my piano lessons, I use the Faber series of Piano Adventures books to guide piano skill and repertoire building. I have experience with students of all ages, and have been playing piano myself since 2004. My goal is for students to gain a blend of piano and music theory skills that support a cerebral understanding of musical pieces.


What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

In guitar lessons with me, students can expect to utilize the Hal Leonard Ultimate Guitar Method book to blend music reading, tablature practice, and chord work. I combine music theory and chordal practice so that finger strength is developing while notational reading continues to improve.
