Anybody can sing. That is my philosophy of teaching -- I have proven it to myself and to my students how true it is. If you can speak, you can sing!

I focus my lessons on building a strong understanding of the anatomy of the voice, self-awareness in your instrument, and confidence in your skill. I have experience in classical, opera, and musical theater styles, but that doesn't mean my students don't sing jazz, pop, or rock & roll! We start with the basics -- the classical teachings (breath and posture), and figure out how your voice works best. I emphasize technique in breathing and posture through a variety of stretching, relaxation, and yoga practices. In addition to learning a healthy vocal technique, your lessons will also incorporate other musical skills such as solfege (do re mi...like Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music), music theory, and foreign language skills using the International Phonetic Alphabet (it's really cool, trust me).

Creativity, skill and love of music are the key elements that I work to encourage in every student. Over the years my teaching has evolved and I find it gratifying to take people far beyond their own expectations while helping them achieve their goals. I believe everyone is musical and just needs the right key to tap into their own creativity.

For beginners it's important to study with an excellent teacher. Setting a solid and creative foundation makes all the difference!
For advanced players studying with a great artist takes you greater artistry.

Weekly private lessons focus on technical skills in either piano, voice (or a combination of both) and a strong musical foundation. Theory and Ear Training are fundamentals that are embedded in this approach to developing a complete musician and artist.

I have over 20 years experience working with students as young as 3 and old as 85! Often multiple generations in a family study together making for a rich family...

Hello all! I am Emily F., a recent graduate of Grove City College with a degree in Music Education. While in school I majored in Percussion and Voice and spent the majority of my time performing and gaining experience. I am currently an elementary music teacher with Prince George's County Schools. I have had years of lessons myself and have taught many students as well. As a vocalist, I can teach you how to sing anything from Top 40 hits to Broadway numbers to Operatic Arias. I will help you gain confidence as a performer and vocal strength. I am also prepared to teach beginning piano lessons to help you learn to accompany yourself and others. For percussion lessons, I have years of experience as a principal percussionist in my College's band and orchestra and would love to help you learn how to be a classically trained percussionist, not a drummer. Overall, I offer experience, knowledge, and a chance to get out of your shell and onto a stage.
