What to expect in my Vocal Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

I gear my teaching style to each student. My lessons will focus on whatever is wanted/needed by the student. Which means that we do not have to focus on classical, if that is not what is desired by the student. All styles are relevant, and I will do all I can to make the experience educational and enjoyable for the student. My goal is to give each student the tools needed so that they can eventually learn and thrive without a teacher (if they so chose).

What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

Students should plan on purchasing books from the Alfred Basic Piano library. We stick pretty closely to them for beginners, but I also cater to the needs of each student.

Formal Education:

B.M. from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Last semester master's student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

Performing Experience:

In college, I was the lead performer in various plays and musicals including: Urinetown, Three Penny Opera, The Skin of Our Teeth, and Peterpan. I've also performed in community theatre shows such as The Music Man as Marian the Librarian. I also sing with the Wisconsin Chamber Choir in Madison, and I've been a soloist in many of their songs. While at graduate school, I have performed in opera scenes, in La Clemenza di Tito as Vitellia, and in our mini operas World Premiere composed by Milwaukee natives as Kirsti in Kirsti and the Priest and Crew 1 in The Choice.

Experience Teaching:

Before attending graduate school, I was an elementary music teacher at Rockwell and Barrie Elementary schools in Fort Atkinson for 5 years, and for a year, I was a middle school music and choir director at Fruzen Intermediate School in Beloit. I was also a choir director at First English Lutheran Church for 7 years, and I've taught private voice lessons for nearly 9 years now.
