Instruments: Voice,Violin,Piano

About Me:
Voice being my primary instrument, I teach an advanced technique for beginners to professionals. My nurturing approach will develop a strong base, allowing great agility in performance and a constant growth. I believe that any musician needs to understand music and enjoy it! We will explore many different styles of singing until we discover one that you love! Along with finding your niche, we will also tackle music theory and ear training. Acting and career guidance is also a part of my vocal studio practice. I am happy to teach children through adults. Find your voice and learn how to use it!

Violin and Piano studies I teach as well, focusing on beginning to intermediate students who wish to learn the fundamentals of musicianship. I incorporate the Suzuki method with my own, expanding the students' ear along with allowing their understanding of music to prosper. Start learning the violin and piano and understand the language of music!
