I studies vocal techniques for 13 years. I have my Bachelors in Music Therapy, with a focus in voice. I have also taken two years of piano. I have been teaching voice lessons for four years. I have taught students of all ages and levels. I have performed recitals and also solos in church. I love helping students achieve their musical goals. I am currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis.

For as long as I can remember, music has played a large part in my life. By the age ten, I already knew that music would be more than just a hobby for me, it would become my career. I have been singing for over 20 years, and began playing piano when I was eight years old. I received a BS in music industry studies with an emphasis on business, from the University of Colorado Denver in 2008. I have extensive experience in performance and the music industry as a business, and have had the pleasure of experiencing the local music scene first hand while playing in bands. I truly enjoy sharing my love of music and the industry with my students.

I've been playing piano since I was 6 yrs. old, and guitar and organ since I was 13. I've been able to use music in so many ways, and that is the opportunity I want for my students. From singing in school and church choirs, to accompanying and directing them, I've had a lot of enjoyable experiences. I've had the fun of performing solo and with bands, and have been teaching music for about 25 yrs, both privately and in the schools. My BA is in music education and my Masters is in individual performance. I've taught K-Jr College music classes in general music, chorus, piano, guitar, and theory. I think my favorite form of teaching is still one-on-one lessons. Working with one student allows me to adjust my teaching to their particular learning style and needs.

I have always been a music lover. I participated in choirs of all kinds for my entire life, but I was inspired to be a music teacher by my high school choir teacher. After high school I went to Willamette University, a private college in Oregon to continue my music studies. During my time at Willamette I participated in choirs and private voice lessons in addition to my course work. I graduated in May 2011 and decided to move back to Colorado to pursue a Masters of Music Education and teaching licensure because I was still very passionate about teaching.

As I continue with my schooling, I am always learning more about teaching and the voice in addition to developing my own personal philosophy. I think that music should always be an enjoyable experience, and I endeavor to make the learning process and fun and as comfortable as possible for my students.

When I teach voice lessons, I strive to give every student the experience that they desire and the chance to explore...
