About Me

I started singing when I was 5 years old. As my mother tells it, I used to stand on her footstool with her hairbrush and pretend I was Johnny Cash.

By the time I was 13, I had started taking voice and piano lessons. I never stopped. My passion for performing and hunger for knowledge grew from Classical music to Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock, Folk, Broadway and, most recently, Hip-Hop.

My family loved to ask me to sing (this led to many embarrassing dinner parties and family reunions) I learned to love the audience and seek feedback from anyone who would listen.

I was active in choir and theater and won many awards in high school, including a prestigious invitation to participate in the 16 member Wisconsin All-State Honors Vocal Jazz Ensemble.

During that experience, I was invited to study at the legendary School for Music Vocations in Southern Iowa. It was there that I formed the firm foundation in Music Theory, Solo & Group Performing, Writing & Arranging, Microphone...

About Me

A love of music began in the third grade. I started on a silver metal clarinet and have not stopped playing. I am a musician, composer, arranger and performer. I hold a B.A. in music and have taught in the schools for 22 years. I bring extensive knowledge and humor to my teaching. I enjoy working with all age levels and pride myself on being intensely positive.

I have been playing drums for 12 years, and been singing since childhood. I am currently a senior at McNally Smith college of music, working on finishing a Bachelor's degree in Music Production. I have performed with country, Latin, funk, hip-hop, jazz, and rock bands in a variety of rolls, and am well versed in many instruments and styles. Currently I am working with a hip-hop/funk group, a country group, and a nine-piece rock band called The Human Empire that I am very proud of.
